The Cuckoo's Nest: Noticeboard

I er- seem to have mislaid a chocolate bunny. Has anyone found it?

WHOEVER put cellophane on the TOILET is going to be SORRY. SO, SO SORRY.

Wasn't that a lovely little party? There were some lovely talents on display there, very nice. The judges were very kind too. Very encouraging of people with less talent experience. I do hope we can do that again sometime. I would so win in a rematch.

I have cake. No, I'm not just showing off. You can come and eat the cake. However, if you are one of these strange American types who think birthday cake should be accompanied by ice-cream, you are sore out of luck. Also weird. Also American, which is much the same thing.

I DON'T WANT BAD LUCK TO FOLLOW ME ALL OF MY DAYS!

I've mentioned this to a few of you already, but thought I'd post up a sign-up sheet. Nest Hill is setting up a befriender programme. What that basically means is that volunteers from the wider community - thoroughly screened and checked of course - will be coming to visit you if you wish. They can be your friend, your confidante, your mentor, or your advocate - whatever it is you need. I should probably add that whilst this is entirely optional, those of you who view Nest Hill as a prison more than a hospital should note than an ability to communicate and form relationships with people outside of the hospital will speak volumes about your future ability to reintegrate into society. If you're interested, sign your name below. You can also submit any questions here and I'll do my best to answer them.

Tada! I bring you the cast of "A Christmas Carol." It was a disappointing turn out, but with a little doubling up, we should be able to pull it off.

Congratulations to those of you helped with the decorations! They have made everything much more festive. Of course, if moi had been involved they would have been a lot more tasteful, but one cannot deprive people of their artistic expression. On that note, I feel that what we are missing here is a little culture, and for this reason am proposing that we put on a performance of A Christmas Carol for the delight and education of all! Sign up below if you would like to be involved, and we will have auditions on Wednesday in the common room. There are a number of parts, including smaller roles for those of you with the passion but without the - ah - talent for a lead. There is room for all in the realm of theatre!
