A CUT ABOVE THE REST BY FIONA CUMMINGS


Good afternoon Bloggets. A busy day today, a meeting this morning that was really successful and interesting and baking this afternoon.  Today is cool but not freezing. It’s 3 degrees right now and it’s four in the afternoon.

 

Of course, Brexit is big in our news, EU are saying a no deal would mean hard line border for Ireland. If our PM gets kicked out, then it will be very hard for Ireland as Labour if they were to get in, God help us all, are not friendly with people from Ireland. If we are to call another election, then all those who voted to leave, votes were just waisted. And two years of work for nothing. All that money. I just hope Mrs May can pull this off. Bless her, she has had the worst pressure and the worst people working against her. I feel for her. Most people by now would have given up and thrown in the towel. She hasn’t named called like every other MP she has kept calm right through this horrid procedure. EU are fighting against her as they don’t want her to leave the European Union obviously, the media have hated on her because she isn’t a headliner. She comes with no gossip. Where as if they get that fool from Labour in, oh, my, worms will be dug up from his past. Never have I known it where by so many people from the same party have backed stabbed and gone against the Prime Minister in the way this lot have over Mrs May. People have actually said the worst things about her being so nasty in fact being total bullies. And these people are meant to be on her side. There is no loyalty any more in society. People are all out for themselves.

 

There is a plane missing with a footballer onboard in the Channel Islands. Another plane disaster it looks like. Not too long since one crashed set on fire and killed all onboard. And again, connected with football.

 

Can you believe this news? Prince Philips crash, the debris is on sale on eBay. Oh, my word, some people just have too much money.

 

In Liverpool, an idiot digger driver has driven his machine into a hotel reception because of a disagreement with regards money owed to him. £600 was spoken about, well it will cost him a load more than that now. I hope. One person was sent to hospital. Thank goodness it was only one person. What a dreadful specimen of a so-called man to do such a thing!

 

Can you remember the Gatwick airport chaos with the drones? Well they say it cost the airport 15 million pounds. And still people can just go and buy them.

 

In health, scientists say that a simple blood test could diagnose Alzheimer’s ten years before symptoms occur! Fantastic, but then what? ten years of worry or is there treatment?

 

Oh, this is an awful headline. Londoners are sniffing so much cocaine, that eels in the Thames, are now hyperactive…

  Scientists discover a new kind of blood vessel in our bones that could help treat Arthritis. Brilliant news but be cautious as there is a word in that headline that is really important. (Could)

 

Exercising for 30 minutes per day will help you to live until you are 90 experts say.

Today. Tomorrow, may be a different number and age…

But of course, moving will keep you healthier. Otherwise we will rust up and our joints will not move as good as they used to.

 

Vitamin B 12 deficiency is something a lot of people suffer with. Me included. Well the foods we are meant to eat are as follows.

Clams. Yack, that’s me done in.

Liver, again, nope…

Salmon. No, again a salmon has a face and I don’t eat anything with a face.

Beef. Nope.

Ham. No, poor pig.

Plane non-fat Greek Yoghurt. Oh, heck, why is everything so awful?

Low fat milk. Yeah, at last I can have that and I have it, in my cups of tea… That counts, doesn’t it?

Egg. Does that count if you eat a slice of cake?

Cereal. I’m OK with that, not that I eat it but I should, right?

 

There is a lot of vitamin B 12 in vegan foods by the way.  Almond milk and other milks that are dairy free, are actually higher in vitamin B than dairy milk.

 

You can take vitamin B pills but no more than 2 mg per day. Ask your Doctor.

 

The symptoms of a deficiency in vitamin B are as follows.

Feeling very tired. Feeling breathlessness after just a little exercise. A reduced apatite and headaches as well as heart palpitations. A sore mouth and tongue. When you go to the toilet there are symptoms to look out for as well. Gas, constipation and diarrhoea. Well, that just about covers everything, doesn’t it? I mean, constipation and, or, diarrhoea?

But best to know if you are needing help as this could lead to serious conditions.

 

And now onto Melanoma. If we have a mole on our back, even on our arm, how do we as people who can’t see, know? Well we don’t until it could be too late. My dearest friend lives abroad and she is so lucky as she gets a skin doctor to check her over every few months. This is so good and I do wonder as blind people should we get this?

 

What are signs of Melanoma?

Melanoma is not only the deadliest of skin cancer to detect, but if detected early enough and treat, it’s almost 100 per cent treatable.

1 watch out for a mole getting larger or a new one growing.

2 if the mole has a irregular outline

3 if the colours are mixed colours of browns and blacks

4 if it is bleeding oozing or crusting

6 if it itches or starts to feel painful. Now if you are blind, most of those symptoms won’t be recognised. Please keep your children covered and protected in the sun making them wear a sun hat. If they refuse or you think as soon as they are around the corner of the house, they will remove their hat, then show them the worst pictures of cancer. Especially if you can get pictures of children.

 

I got burned so very bad when I was at the Black sea in Russia when I was only 14. I do worry about the damage that was caused.

 

I have cut my foot open. I should have gone to the Doctors, but I really really don’t want to. I shall see what it’s like in a couple of days but it is really painful. I have been into my medical box…. That story is for another day… and tried to find what I need to be Nurse Fifi. Most of the items I knew what they were but some I didn’t. some I used my iPhone with the app Seeing a.i. but it worked on one item but not on the other. So, I had to open a bandage and throw it away as it was the wrong one, luckily, I only waisted one.

 

And finally, kindness is the language that the deaf can hear and the blind can see. You don’t need to see to fall in love or hear to laugh. Your problems may be the same as your neighbours or your neighbours may have troubles that you don’t even know about and if you did know, you would be shocked to learn about. They may smile on the outside, but cry when the doors are closed. Your problems are worrying, but if you have a roof over your head and love in your heart, then trust me, there is someone near you, who is much worse off.

 

To be grateful for fresh air, clean water and a hand to hold. And if you feel alone, loneliness is a pain like no other, remember you really are not alone. So many people, too many people suffer from loneliness as I said, when you feel like that, remember someone near you is feeling the same. Your local church may be a great place to meet others and you know, you could be in a room full of people all around you, but still feel lonely. Sometimes loneliness is a state of mind. And what a state our minds can get in. but our imaginations and positive thoughts even thoughts that may be found in words written by others, can take you to a place where you will feel love and joy.
