Happy Monday everyone. I hope your weekend has been one of
peace and joy! Yesterday was a lovely family day at one of our favourite pubs. A
delicious meal as always. And so nice to be with those we love.
In our news one of the largest holiday companies have gone
bust. Thomas Cook. Such a shame end of an era. Now to bring the 150,000 holiday
makers back home. Can you imagine, in Tunisia, the people on holiday all got
locked into their hotel and were not allowed out until the staff were paid. Oh,
my word, surely there should be a huge fine for that? I mean, that is hijack isn’t
it? Name of hotel to avoid as far as I am concerned? Les Orangers resort in
Hammamet. They locked the gates and had
four security guards telling people they were not allowed out. Tourist busses
were moved on from picking the people up. Awful stories like an elderly lady
who had fallen and broken her arm was forced to pay £2,500 to leave to seek
medical help.
Even the Wi-Fi was turned off. The hotel said it was due to
the weather. Oh, my can you imagine? Terrifying being held against your wishes
and cut off from the world. I think it is disgraceful behaviour.
Just another Monday. Washing clothes, cooking and cleaning. Not
in that order.
Oh, last week I decided to be arty. I have two small black
plant pots with I think pink artificial flowers in. I put them both in my
electric fire as we are not needing the fire at the moment and I thought they
would look nice against the black fire and they fit in there so well. Only thing
is, I really think I should take them out today as knowing me I may turn on the
fire and forget to remove them. I dust inside the fire every five or so days,
but what if on day six?
Did I tell you my lovely friend Kinzie who was so ill with Pneumonia
and sent to hospital was sent home after three weeks? She is my Sons old Lolly
pop lady who we adopted as his Grandma. We love her dearly. She is eighty and
this is the state of things. She was sent home after being in hospital for what
seemed to be forever. Her eighty-year-old husband had to get her from the car
to the house. She must have had a wheelchair to get her from her hospital ward
to the car at the hospital end. She can’t walk. She still can’t talk properly. She
has me worried sick. Thank goodness her lovely daughter is back home now and by
the way, she was in Tunisia but got home before midnight when the company went
bust. So, yesterday she called in to see her Mum on the way back from the
airport and she says her Mum looks worse than she did when she saw her a week
ago. What is going on? I have done so much research and can not find any
connection between Pneumonia and not being able to talk.
Well we are heading towards Autumn. Darker nights, cooler temperatures
but beautiful trees. Fine if you can see them but if not, we are cold and feel
darkness earlier… a study showed that research learned that babies born in
Autumn tend to live until they are 100. In England we call Autumn, well, Autumn…
But in America it’s known as fall. But until the 17th century the word,
fall, was widely used in England.
I received a letter from my eye hospital but my iPhone will
not read NHS letters. I wonder if it is photocopied like a picture and that is
why? So, my Son read it to me last night. I think it looks like I at last after
four years plus have got a diagnosis of the type of Retinitis Pigmentosa I have.
So many letters. I need to get it read again and write down what it says and do
more research. I’m scared though because the letters don’t look like any other letters,
I have read on line. You watch, mine will be so rare they won’t even be doing
research on my kind of RP let alone on their way for a cure or at least
treatment…
I have been reading about Indonesia how what they call the
haze has turned the sky blood red like Mars. How scary what are we doing to our
world? Gosh, we were given the most perfect place to live and we are killing it
faster than humans know. I honestly can’t see earth being here in 80 years. And
that is thanks to so many people being ignorant to the signs of times.
Now for some fun facts.
Bunny’s. Hares are born with fur and can see where as
rabbits are born without fur and are blind at birth.
On one of the islands off the West coast of Australia, lies
Lake Hillier. It’s a bright bubble gum pink but scientists don’t know why it’s
such a bright pink. Gosh, that must look really odd?
Oh, until today I never knew this. The flag of Hawaii is the only state US flag
to feature the Union Jack on it.
I love this fact, the
word Almost, is the longest word written in alphabetical order in the English
language.
And finally, as I think this fact may be of more use to you.
Haha. You are three times more likely to get a virus on your computer from a
religious website than you are from a porn website…
Well, I shall avoid both.
Happy Monday
