The passage of time in Wellington and elsewhere
Buckingham Palace says Elizabeth II is now back in Windsor after doctors advised a few days’ rest
The 95-year-old had been due to take part in a two-day trip, but doctors told her that she should rest for a couple of days at Windsor Castle.
However she was then admitted to hospital for “preliminary investigations”.
That last bit is the usual cover for something big. She is 95 after all.
Much talk at the moment about the persistent and increasing level of cases in UK. So much higher than other western European countries.
However, from the government point of view this is not a problem. But to emphasise how serious this is they are apparently ‘checking the data hourly’- LOL.
So the message is that no action is needed and all is ok.
Until it is not presumably when the penny drops that the health service is dealing with so many Covid cases that the backlog of work from the last 2 years is not being dealt with or someone finally acknowledges that the deaths and ill health are not acceptable.
Then we will be told, in months to come, that all action was taken at the right time without delay, and that ‘ the science was followed’. Let’s hope the facts are clear when the questions are finally asked.
A trip to the musical which is laying at the Barbican Centre. Great fun, lots of energy, silly humour and great dancing. I can see why it received its rave reviews. Great escapism. Shaz loved it and a second visit a possibility with the baby in tow.
A Sunday afternoon visit for football rather than athletics and only 9 years late for the latter.
Brentford were playing West Ham and managed to pull out a last minute win when really a draw would have been reasonable.
I think this was the first away game I have been to since seeing them play Cheltenham Town when in League 1 about 20 years ago when I took Joseph. And then In was in the side stand with the home supporters.
The stadium was full which I think means 60,000 with about 5,000 of us. A strange experience. The stadium is clearly not designed for football with the pitch a long way from the fans. I was ‘on my own’ with 5,000 others, ie. no AP to discuss the finer points or moan to.
A positive write up:
Last weekend, Yoane Wissa emerged from the bench and equalised against Liverpool within four minutes. It took the man from the Democratic Republic of Congo double the length of time to hurt West Ham, but a winner with the game’s final action was a stunning outcome when his team appeared content with a point.
A little of me being a ‘pseudo ‘ and house check.
La Côte granite rose and near Ploha.
We spent two weeks in Brittany for rest and research.
The following field or site was interesting; The Valley of the Saints.
We had a recommendation to go, and the site was worth the trouble. The more interesting aspect was the more modern presentation of some of the saints.
There is the one that appears to ‘ give the finger’ , someone out of a 1970’s tv show, the winner of the World Cup in 1998?A Khardasian behind?
Good value.
