The traffic was so bad in town
Will looked at the queues with a frown
It was a pain in the ass
To use the bypass

First Christmas tree gone up in our street. There used to be an older lady in the house, spoke to her a couple of times, she said she'd lived there most of her life.  It was always tidy.  I assume she died, there are younger people there now, I've only seen women and kids, and it's gone down the nick.  

Well,  I took her,  and he gave her a thorough check up.   
Her weight was fine,  but he thought her heart was skipping an occasional beat.   He also agreed she had cataracts in both eyes although not quite as bad as I had thought.    He also noted her growing deafness.
She was a good girl and stood quite still letting him poke and prod, and check her eyes.

He came to the eventual conclusion that he suspected a small TIA,  much the same thing as we get.
So he has given me some blood thinners to try her on to try and avoid clots forming which could get to her brain.

I asked him to look at Gertie's eyes while we were there,  and as I suspected,  she has the start of tiny cataracts coming too.   

I can't do any more for Lif at the moment,  just keep a close eye on her and help her as best I can.
In the meantime,  we'll just have to see if the meds help her along.  It is very worrying though.

We had a nice little slow toddle around the edge of a field in the sushine on the way home,  so that cheered the three of us a little,  at least.

Fred had a strange text message today
Sent to him by Maggie May
He thought he was on a winner
When she suggested he go for dinner
But she only wanted him to pay 💰 

Quote from: Mups on <strong>Yesterday</strong> at 10:58:28 AMI suspect that in some cases prisoners may even have a better life than they had outside.
All their meals provided for a start.

I have also been reading about the learning that is provided in prisons these days too, and this includes:

Reading, Writing, Maths, Woodwork, Physical health, and Horticulture.
And through the Open University they can even sit for their GCSE, and City & Guilds!

I suppose they are hoping that with education will come better behaviour.
It could, of course, make them more efficient criminals!
I wonder which of these possibilities turn out to be the truth.

Frost here too this morning, but the sun is out now so it's gone....
I'm staying in today as I'm full of cold and its not nice supermarket shopping with a drippy nose....

Sunny now,   but bitterly cold earlier,  with thick white, sparkling  frost over everything.
