I was asked by someone yesterday if I liked being an Occupational Therapist and my answer was an emphatic YES! This video helps to describe why. The life changing power of occupation is incredible to see in action.

Congratulations @Wrexham_AFC
A day of mixed emotions as a Cardiff City fan living in Wrexham. My first Cardiff game was against Wrexham in League Two at Ninian Park.
Both clubs have been on quite a journey over the past 26 years. Wonder what the next 26 holds for them both

Met Jason 20 years ago, right at the start of my career. Such a kind hearted, compassionate man who deeply cares about the most vulnerable people in society.
Worth noting that the Digital Voice landline switch over means there could be people in this snowfall without contact due to the power cuts as well. When you are due the switch, ensure if relevant you register as a vulnerable customer.
Was encouraged to have a look at blue sky by @Keirwales Very welcoming place and a lot of the people I used to enjoy interacting with on here are over there. Iโm hoffiOT on there too. See you over there hopefully
