I am a very Feminine Lady ~ always have been !
So when I was little Girl I always got Dollies
Dollies Houses & Cuddly Toys. My FAVE were Costume
Dolls ~ I have 36 and my Collection is still growing
Many are Spanish & Latin American ! I have taken them to Schools to give talks. I know my DAUGHTER
will love them ~ Whenever She arrives ......... !
I always wanted to be a NURSE and my Auntie Cherry
Bought me a NURSES OUTFIT one Christmas so all
My Dollies had bandages & splints and plasters !
A Lady came to School (All Girls Catholic SChool)
And talked to us about alternative Medical Professions
Radiography - Path Lab Technician - Physiotherapy etc
She was a PHYSIO and she made the Job sound exciting
And essential for Orthopedic Patients to restore
Mobility & Manual Dexterity ! She sent me some BOOKS
And MAGAZINES ~ Which persuaded me to be a PYHSIO !
My FAVE XMAS Present was a REAL SKELETON which
My PARENTS bought me when I graduated - Hes called FRED
And I kept HIM under a sheet in my BEDROOM !
He*s now in my CLINIC @ WORK & is a good Teaching Aid !
My worst PRESENTS are Chocolates because BRIAN & I
Have to EAT them and they are very CALORIFIC !
