On a more serious note:
Getting a long overdue pay-rise.
Being selected to join a team working in partnership with the police doing safety patrols in Brighton at night, focusing on vulnerable females and VAWG (violence against women and girls). We also deal with medical emergencies, violence, missing and wanted persons and basically anything that presents itself. We also help a lot of people with info and directions etc.
Have had to do a lot of training and exams to get up to scratch, got my handcuff qualification and mental health first aid qualification among others. Nice to be achieving things again.
It's a great team and even though I say it myself, we have had some fantastic outcomes and there's a lot of people who got home safe who may have had a bad time of it had we not intervened. I'm proud of that.
In general, seeing more of friends and family after lock downs etc. They are all in good health and in good places in their lives. It's nice to see.
Seeing a dear friend face his demons, join AA and really turn his life around. It has made me in tears at times to see the progress he has made.
That Chelsea game.
And I finally overcame my fear of doctors and went and had all my bloods etc done. I have some things I now need meds for but lifestyle changes will hopefully see me off of them this year.
