Flat tyre, questions and planing permission



13 January

We have had to call the RAC out to Jan's car. We noticed this morning that it had a flat tyre and we can't stand or sit to get it changed, hence the RAC. Happily if we need to go anywhere we still have my car to hand so that we won't be stuck in waiting for them to turn up. Jan is off to the post office and once the tyre is done she will get the flat one round to Quick Fit to be sorted out.

Dorktown will be on national telly on Wednesday, part of Michael Portillo's Great British Railway Journeys series. Apparently he was filmed in the library talking to some of The Hussy enthusiasts we have in Dorktown. What great claims to fame the town has ... a hussy and gay comedian! So bloody sad.
 
The Hussy Hospital is having to apply for planning permission to make alterations to the Katrina Ward, once the children's ward up there. They moved all long term children's care to the Walsgrave and only kept a small assessment unit. OK, that's fine but I am surprised that planning permission has to be sort for internal alterations. I do understand the need if they were to build a new unit increasing the size of the site, but not for internal work surely? Anyway, the request is now in the hands of the planners.     

A questions has cropped up about blood donation; Jan had a letter last Saturday asking her to attend a donor session but she has been told not to give blood, just as I have. In my case it's because I'm on beta-blockers and other cardiac medication and is therefore understandable. But in Jan's case it's because she was given three units of blood during her operation 18 months ago. So then, the questions is, what is wrong with the blood she was given that now bars her from giving blood now? I wonder if we will ever get a real answer to that?

Today's photo is from our day out on Saturday. On the way back along the A45 we saw this ... 

And I took several shots but this one is the best I think.

Funny time, from the Sage ...

A Policeman was rushed to the hospital with a badly inflamed appendix. The Doctors quickly operated and advised him that all was well; however, the Policeman had an awfully strange feeling around his pubic region. Too embarrassed to ask and worried that he may have had further surgery that the Doctors had yet to tell him about - he finally got enough energy to pull his hospital gown up enough so that he could look at what was making him so uncomfortable. As he sat up he was shocked to discover - taped firmly across his pubic hair and private parts - three very wide strips of very adhesive tape; the kind that doesn't come off easily... if at all! Written on the tape in large black letters were the words; "Get well soon! Love, the Nurse in the Land Rover you booked for speeding last week
