Just because we’re asleep during our night time doesn’t mean the whole world is asleep at the same time!! A lot of things happen all around the world when we’re asleep so I like to check the news websites in the mornings when I wake up to see what has happened. It gives you a few minutes to wake up before getting out of the bed too. Plus any lad that’s busy shouldn’t have time to be looking at the technology during the day!

The Matron/Nurse in charge was from a Religeous Order, and must have had polio, as she had a caliper on one leg. She also hated smoking with a vengeance. When we heard her coming tap, tapping down the corridor, three lads would fly to the window and throw their half smoked fags out the window..... Be back in the chair or bed by the time she got to the door, and a cloud of Carrolls or Rothmans up at the ceiling
