I need to watch the film; it’s on the to-do list.
Gerontius was my first major choral performance at 19. So many wonderful moments.

Right here ❤️

Similarly, a question we often get at our monthly community first aid/CPR sessions in the village, is what you do if you’re on your own and choking.
Some suggest self-adm abdominal thrusts using the back of a chair. Any other ideas?
