I woke up around 6 this morning and went to a first-aid course for infants and children during the morning.
The class covered blood and breathing and airways and broken bones and cuts and choking and CPR and slings and compression bandages and more.
It has refreshed my first-aid training from years ago. I knew it all, but the CPR - the technique had seeped away from my brain.
When it was all over, I got a coffee from a Tim Horton's shop around the corner from the hospital.
I headed back in the general direction of home, and then turned north when I remembered that I had brought my new camera along with me.
The views looked nice and so I turned on my camera and drove a bit until I found a nice looking area.
A little snow was falling and it was a few degrees below freezing.
Bundled up in my shearling cap, warm gloves and my super warm alpine coat, I ended up in a corn field. The smell of pig manure blew over me and I looked around the horizon trying to find a pig farm.
After a few minutes, it became apparent that the farmer had sprayed pig manure on the field as a fertilizer.
I figured that out once I had walked about 30 feet into the field.
Cheers,
Mungo
