Saw this great idea on Twitter a couple of days ago, showed it to my daughter and she gave it a go today at work @CHFTNHS no sore ears and mask felt more comfortable and secure...why not give it a go😷!

My dad has alzheimers, but can still do carpentry, which keeps him happy. If anyone might like a little table, we'd love to sell them - please share if you can, and let me know! Thanks so much.
