We were chatting to someone who works for the Flying Doctor Service in Kenya and he said how some of the work involves doing air ambulance flights to hospital for people suffering from Pneumonia and how the Pneumonia cases went up from the start of the year. I suspect the virus has been around for much longer than we know. Good news your all okay. |

Yesterday, I had a call from my sister-in-law to rescue and tow a broken down Range Rover Vogue. Fortunately, her Vogue was only 12 miles miles away. The problem was the V8 engine overheated, then it conked out and it would not start again. Thank goodness the car wasn't too far away
Today its nice weather getting to 25C, no complaints here Have a great day, drink plenty |

Morning Phil, Yes good news indeed we were all relieved I've just found out the hard way that the bread has gone mouldy in this heat Some of the bigger tomato varieties have ripened in the greenhouse & I love freshly sliced tomatoes on toast for breakfast at this time of year. I bit into the toast & it was blue with mould

Afternoon all, lovely day here yesterday turned out not to be as hot as was forecast, in the north east anyway.It was very humid yesterday though.
On a serious note I spent two and a half hours n the phone to mum’s bank last night, the majority of it waiting for someone to answer the bl00dy phone. Sadly due to her memory being so poor, she has now forgotten that you don’t give bank or card details over the phone to any company you are not familiar with. Last summer she paid over 100 to a bogus company for “tv breakdown cover” that she didn’t need as I had recently bought the tv for her so it was still under manufacturers guarantee. Luckily as it was a fraudulent case,the bank stopped it and refunded her money, but since February this year she has set up 5 direct debits for bogus insurances for home emergency cover, appliance cover, internet recovery(she doesn’t have it) and some other bogus b s policy. The bank, with my authorisation have cancelled all of them and are going to try and block these “companies “, from taking any more payments. I am going to set the ball rolling to get p o a, but I fear we may have to change the bank account number before then. I have now cancelled her card for the third time since this time last year,a nd hidden her cheque book, so any other scammers ring up and want d d set up or card payments,she can’t do it as she doesn’t know where the cheque book is and has no card. P o a normally takes about 8 weeks ,but due to COVID and short staffing in all govt departments,I think we will be lucky to have it in place by Christmas. I urge all,of you with elderly or infirm relatives and friends to take steps to protect them from scammers, the world is full of horrible people who sadly spoil life for the majority.

A decent sized chunk of Stinking Bishop would do the job - that's a cheese by the way

Evening all, There's a nice north easterly breeze blowing since this afternoon which is very welcome & taken the edge off that muggy heat.
Ginster steak slice & a jacket spud for tea & as it's been replenishing the larder day there's a fresh tiger loaf & supply of Henry's Quote:
Cheers I'll tell him about those recover tools for the software. Quote:
I like blue cheese but I draw the line at blue toast, Never had stinky bishop either. I never noticed the other side of the slice of bread had mold when I put it in the toaster.
