X factor, Britains got Talent, Ed Sheeran, Adele, four fried chicken shops on every high street, pubs closing down in record numbers, Aussies winning the Ashes, an honours system the recognised the likes of Fiona Hill and Nick Timothy.
Hmmm - this may not be the response you were after <whistle>

Cheap beer from Weatherspoons? Fried Mars bars in Scotland?
 
Morning all. Sunny and of course dry here with temperature expected to be up in the thirties again later. Our restaurant was really buzzing yesterday with a large French birthday dinner underway. No wonder they had the full signs up outside. The chef had started at 6.00 am and by the time everything was cleared away and cleaned it was going to be 6.00 pm when he finished. No surprise that they are closed Sunday evening. One of our regular group was in hospital having had a stroke in the week. His wife came home in the late afternoon to find him on the floor. He was whipped off to Poitiers where they did a CT scan and operated the same night to remove a blood clot from his brain. He is on the road to recovery, but is currently having speech problems, although at this stage no physical movement difficulties. One of our group was a sister in the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast before retiring. Her comments about the differences between health care here and in Northern Ireland were quite an eye-opener. Enjoy your day whatever you have to do. <ok>

Sad news.. Wish him well...
One of our friends has just been diagnosed with lymes disease... Apparently she had a lot of bites in July but no symptoms.. She was feeling lethargic last week, with some heart symptoms and they tested her and now she is on the antibiotics.. Hoping it is in time...

I was reading about the thanksgiving service held today in London for the life of Paddy Ashdown. Four former Prime Ministers - Sir John Major, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and David Cameron - were among the congregation. Sir John told the congregation that Lord Ashdown was a "political opponent who became a friend". "He was always an internationalist, wedded to reason and consensus and dismissive of tribal politics. A man for ideals, not shabby deals."
The reason I mention this is because my best friend from Dorset was sat next to him in the cancer department in Yeovil just two months before Paddy died. My friend also had bladder cancer, but fortunately not so advanced. My friend is a typical Tory, comfortably well off , who reads little about politics, but just votes for whoever the local party puts up. He has told me that after his meeting with Paddy he has stopped to think, and without a doubt would have voted for him if he ever had had the chance. "Reason and consensus and dismissive of tribal politics". I think many in the country would be impressed by this in these troubled days.

Ashdown comes across as a man of principals, whatever happened to those?

Good morning all from a warm and dry Weston-super-Mare. I'm up at stupid o'clock to prepare for my visit to Southmead for a cystoscopy and biopsies!

Have a good day <ok>
 
Morning all. Quite nice and cool at present, so will get some barrels of water down the fields before the temperature rises. Expected to be 32°C later. While doing that Mme can go in search of some bread. My prefered baker and our auto bread bread machine are on holiday at present, so into the Haute Vienne to the baker in town there. If we go there you pass the wind turbines that haven't turned at all for the past week. I think that the barns with solar panels covering the roofs are rather more productive at present. Enjoy your day whatever is on the agenda. :emoticon-0100-smile
