HAPPY MONDAY BY FIONA CUMMINGS


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
