I think this is stereotyping blind people. I read this in
the group I’m in today.
Women
being screened for breast cancer in Germany may find themselves in the hands of
a blind examiner. The idea has been around for a few years, and unpublished
research suggests that it really works - that blind people can in fact detect
tumours earlier than their sighted counterparts
Apparently blind people have detected a third
more tumours than before. I have my reservations about this, but if it’s true,
well, great, as I said in the group, more jobs for us. I know we are supposed
to be good at massage. I will tell you why I think this is, because we are not
looking around the room. There is nothing to remove our attention from the job
we are doing. So we focus pardon the pun, on our clients. Listen to me, as
though I am a professional masseur? Haha, well, you know, when money is hard to
find? Better than the red light?
Oh there
is a lady in the group who said today she went to her Doctors and went and sat
on a man’s knee. I didn’t ask her how she knew it was a man. Remember when I
went with Hub and we were looking for a seat and I put my hand right in between
a man’s legs? Hahahahahaha. As I said then, he wasn’t very excited to see me.
Obviously
he also was blind, and couldn’t see the delectable dolly bird coming towards
him, right?
Haha. Now now,
no need to be cheeky.
Well tea
was a success. Hub loved it. I made Corned beef hash. I aske our Son if he
wanted hash for tea and he was horrified. Well, it took me a while before I
realised that hash these days means something else.
Basically
it’s mash potato I also mashed sweet potato a little turnip and chopped onions.
Then added some butterbeans and sweetcorn. Then when it’s all mashed with
butter. I added the corned beef. Hub loved it said it was like his Mum used to
make bless her soul. I do miss that lady. We got on so well. I loved it when
she used to come to our house. It was so relaxing.
Well, it’s
that time when I have to force myself to go on the treadmill. Thing is, I
weighed myself today after over a week of exercise and I have put on more
weight. But I do feel better when I do it.
It’s so
cold and dark and windy though and the mill is in the garage.
Hub was in there for half an hour. I have to find
out what happened. I am smiling as I think one of our neighbours opened the
garage as I heard talking and the door lifting. I hope he the neighbour didn’t
bang Hub on the head like I did a couple of weeks ago? The door lifts inside
the garage and hub is on the mill just where the door comes down at the top. I
almost knocked his brains out when I did it? Haha haha. Ee, it’s not funny.
Imagine that and he’s out for the count and I can’t find him? Hahahahahaha.
“Hub,
where are you?”
No answer!
Hope your
Monday so far has been a good one. Only four days till the weekend. Xxxx
