One  dull old Sunday in May
Nel listened to what the Vicar had to say
Fire and brimstone was his style
He could keep it up for quite a while
Then rattled his plate for her to pay.


On the way home she stopped to chat
With a funny old man in a big red hat

Too late to say good morning,  so its just 'Hiya'  today.  :smiley:

I have been really lazy so far. 
I got up, let the dogs in the garden, made a mug of tea,  then went back to bed.   
After dunking my biccies,  and drinking the tea, I fell fast asleep again.   
Oooh such luxury - and its all free.   :smiley:


*P.s.  Anyone heard from Michael?  He hasn't been on the games for a few days now.
Hope he hasn't had another fall . .

I always heed what the warnings say
If there are none I think nay  :sad:
Warning ! Men At Work it states
Drinking tea with their mates 
But still expecting plenty of pay!

I had to go to NGH  twice last week Klondie.   I can never find my way round in there.
Like most hospitals though,  its miles and miles of identical looking corridors.
- And don't even start me on the parking!

Mind you,  parking at Kettering is atrocious too.

I can get to all the local hospitals by bus. I rarely drive, the parking is abysmal.  But after my op, OH had to take me to orthopaedics physio, as it is at the furthest point from either entrance! Who planned that then?

The real question though is can it be fixed? 
It is consuming billions and producing worse outcomes than other European systems. In its current format it is a voracious money pit that is letting us all down. IMO this is nothing new as it has been failing for quite a while. Well in my area it has anyway. The General Hospital is a hotchpotch of Victorian buildings with added bits and pieces all over the place seemingly at random. It's a nightmare even finding some departments tucked away like a prize in a maze. Some are OK that are off a very long corridor joining many sections but if it's only a small section the best of luck.

Waiting area for A&E...

It's raining here now, and it's chilly, 9 °C. I have got my heating on.
Miserable day.  :sad:
