Confusion strikes again in Dorktown. According to the News the Arden Cluster PCT have delayed the opening of public consultation on the future of the Hussy Hospital until May. In response to that Councillor Barry Longden has suspended the activities of the group of supporters who were collecting names on a petition. Personal I think that is a mistake on his. There's a momentum going now which could well be lost if it gets stopped now. In May, spring is well on the way through and a lot of folks will be looking forward to their summer holidays, They might not take to kindly to being reminded of the short dark cold days of winter. I think the pressure needs to be kept up so that PCT will not get the idea that because it's all gone quiet the town has forgotten all about the issues involved.
A few months ago a shop in Bed'th applied for was refused planning permission to extend its premises. Call me cynical if you must but it does seem rather strange that a fire has happened in that self same shop which has caused extensive damage to it. It will be interesting to find out what ask to build in its place.
An update on the woman who was found dead in her flat states she died of natural causes due to an existing medical condition. With that in mind then, perhaps my cynicism about the shop I mentioned above is totally out of order. Just as the neighbours jumped to the wrong conclusion about how the woman died, maybe I have done the same with shop fire.
Some time ago I mentioned 13 year old Paige Bailey and her efforts to raise enough money to send her to the States for an operation to help her walk properly. Well, today is the big day for her. She flies out to Missouri today. I really do wish her well. Her smile in the News is magical to see considering what she has to put up with. Go for it Paige, you deserve it!
Our favourite pub in the area is the Greyhound at Hawkesbury. It sits alongside the Coventry Canal where it joins the Oxford Canal. This really is a terrific pub. Anyway, a bit further north along the Coventry is a disused golf course. The last time I saw it was just an overgrown wilderness. Well, someone has come up with the idea of turning the area into a marina with a small housing project of around 200 homes. It seems to me to be a good use of what is now a wasted area. The signs look good for it according to the News. The only downside as I see it is that the Greyhound could well become even more busy which meas we will have even less chance of getting a seat inside. That's it, I shall start an opposition movement ;-)))
Today's photo then ...
is of the harbour at Shell Island in North Wales. We used to go camping there when were fitter and able to put up a tent. We still like the area a lot. It's not a place we would want to move to though. We both have a number of ongoing medical issues that need to be monitored, and Shell Island area is too far from all the major health service providers.
The Sage has spoken ...
Never argue with a woman
One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and
decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to
take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and
reads her book.
Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the
woman and says, 'Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?'
'Reading a book,' she replies, (thinking, 'Isn't that obvious?')
'You're in a Restricted Fishing Area,' he informs her
'I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading'
'Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up.'
'For reading a book,' she replies.
'You're in a Restricted Fishing Area,' he informs her again.
'I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading.'
'Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up.'
'If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault,' says the woman.
'But I haven't even touched you,' says the game warden. 'That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.'
'Have a nice day ma'am,' and he left.
MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think
