Jury Service

Damn, so it's really not like on the telly? And the barristers aren't all good looking suave types?

I’m afraid not! It’s really quite boring most of the time unless it’s a murder trial of course, they can be very interesting!! The barristers tend to be stuffy boring types

Blue, you have nothing to worry about, it's just the building up to going and not knowing what to expect.
You are doing the right thing by preparing for any boredom and the upside to this is you might only be there for a short case and if its a longer one it will be more intense and it will challenge your brain.
The staff I found incredibly friendly. They provide good and plentiful food.
I'd wear layers of clothing incase you get hot. T. Shirt, cardi/jumper, jacket /coat.
You'll find it so achievable once you are there. x

Okay, did not foresee falling down a step in the courtroom, then narrowly avoiding going backwards through a door.

Not sure whether I'm about to die of social anxiety now or whether I'm immune to it.

Bless you Blue. You must have been nervous and overwhelmed with what you have to face inside. The worst bit is past now. You are doing brilliantly, even if you don't feel like you are.

Thanks, Carnation, I really appreciate it.

How’s it going?

Got back about an hour and a half ago. It's grim, but I'm not afraid any more.

I blame Norman Wisdom

They know it's stressful and it will be forgotten a minute later. Don't worry about it.

That's fantastic and very well done! First day done and dusted and time now for some relaxation and peace and quiet!

Blue, it's quite a tiring experience, so just relax throughout the evening. You did brilliantly. Well done!
