Belgium visit


 Here again in Belgium to visit my Princesses... got a busy week as also meeting one of my nurses I have been mentoring who is now training with Medicin Sans Frontiere in Brussels.  Plus a catch up time with my vrijwilligers volunteer friends in Oostende. I have brought a good cardiac book for my nurse to help teach his students on ECGs .. and I brought my Stethoscope for my Princesses to hear the heart and teach about the heart... but wow so impressed with Leen she was telling me about the heart. They have been learning at school ...not only chambers of heart but the P QRS T waves on ECGs ... lol not only Professor of Linguistics but Professor of Cardiology  🤩

Do I have a  Dokter Doctor;  Verloskundige Midwife; Verpleegster Nurse in the making?

Listening to the Lub dub sounds in the heart as Atrial chambers and Ventricular chambers pumping blood... 

On the subject of sounds ...and listening ..so glad I got the lift the flap Questions and Answers book about Music from the Royal Opera House Covent Garden .. my Princesses are enjoying this .. Leen reads English and understands the notes, rhythm & melody of music..

Hhhhh when we were looking at the history of music and recording music suddenly I felt so old as remember the old gramophone.. As a little girl would visit an elderly neighbour who had one in her sitting room..
