NHS - credit where credit Due

Hi - today experienced NHS at it finest!

Saw the doctor yesterday about my dodgy knee, thinking something may be wrong, painful and swelling.
He arranged I should have an X-ray. So gave me a note to take to our local Hospital, Louth, for an X-ray. Walk in 9-16.30 any day M-F. So went today at 15.45, waited 5mins, had 2 X-rays, back in car in 15mins. Parking cost £1.
Now you can't ARGUE with that can you.
People complain but I think this is fantastic. Keep it up NHS.

Ps I hope my knee gets sorted - I'll let you know.

PPS don't forget - look at the Tar Sands - a WORSE disaster then the Gulf/BP. Make yourself heard - pass it on.

Forget BP and the Gulf - what is worse?

Forget BP and the Gulf, though as bad as it is and Obama is ranting. Why does no one seem to care about a worse disaster to the North? Perhaps because it doesn't affect Obama - yet!
I mean the Canadian TAR SANDS.

THey are raping the planet and polluting to a degree that could be worse then the Exxon Valdeaz or the BP Gulf. At least the result is already visible from space and the Sands will produce more CO2 than we've currently produced to date - if they carry on. This will affect all the WORLD. Please look and voice your protest.
The COOP are against this.

Day in the Garden

Well, good day in the garden. Weather forcast was wrong. Few spots of rain and was very warm down to my shorts only!! Bedding plants almost all in.
Can hear thunder maybe I needn't have watered them after all.

I'm a Grandad

Hi

Best news this week is that I'm a Granddad.
Whoopee! and Mrs Pines is a Grandma, (don't call her Granny).

Any way - my son and daughter in law had a baby girl on Sunday morning at 8.30am. Now they are having the sleepless nights. All are well though.

I promise to do more regular Blogs. I'll tell you about the "view" from here from the Lincolnshire Coast, useful Windows tips, Gardening, comments on the World in general. OK?

Today, brrrrrr, perishing for mid June, grey and misty and blowing a cold NE gale off the sea.

Bye for now.
