23.01.2022 Following our last post Here's how Bizzee Bees 2.0 is shaping up to deal with Lockdown 2.0. Our first art wall is completed so we have stared on a new wall. We are calling it the Togetherness Art Wall. Togetherness is about making an interactive art installation that can include text/writing such as stories, poems, statements, names and words, photographs of people or any kind of subject matter as well as drawings, paintings and prints. Togetherness also can include contribu...tions from volunteers, kin, family and friends (via email and post while visitor restrictions are in place). There are kits for patients to start creating their piece of the Togetherness Art Wall. We have set up a Big Screen In the Atrium/Foyer (in between the entrances to Spinal and Mellor Wards)This screen has been set up for patient use over the weekends and during down time, plus ability to play the content off the internetwe are encouraging patients to organise an event to put some sport / comedy / music / even news on the bigscreen.

10.01.2022 Summer Wonderland Sleigh bells ring, are you listening Sunburn sting, ice-blocks glistening The beautiful sight of barbies alight... Strolling through a Summer Wonderland Pour the sav, in the sunshine Serve the pav, up at lunch time Pop the bubbles for nan, Pineapples on ham Strolling through a Summer Wonderland In the arvo we can grab the wickets The plastic cricket bat your brother found Backyard full of all your distant rellies So we pass the can of mozzie spray around Later on, the sun is falling And your drunk, uncle's snoring We'll hear the birds in the trees Feel the warm breeze Strolling through a Summer Wonderland Way down here, Christmas landmarks Are summer flowers and funny tan marks We're happy and bright, Not a snowman in sight Strolling through a Summer Wonderland
