I’m grinning as I type.
But it’s a good way of getting your attention and getting into the subject of this blog.
Gossiping, or discussing, can be a problem for those with impaired hearing. In Sue’s case she’s very fortunate as her friends at the stables make sure she’s included in conversations by speaking clearly and slowly so she can lip read. In group situations they’ll also make a natural break in the chat to bring Sue up to speed on the progress of the gossip. And, of course, I have to mention one of her friends who finger spells and always ensures Sue is included. So, all in all, Sue isn’t left out of the gossip ......... or to be more accurate, she isn’t isolated.
