Well

Just spent 48rs in Local Big Hospital... due to Gallstone flare up.

At least now I know I am negative for COVID

It is so well organised that I was moved ward 3 times.. all the 'Negatives' were kept together --- EVERYBODY wore masks.. but I noticed the nurses washing hair and getting very close at times...

For me the whole thing was ................ scary......  I didnt want to go in but was told NO Choice.. and then when in just kept an eye on.. NO intravenous anything... !!! just loads of Morphine.. Now my daughter has decided I am hooked... :)  two /3 tubes oral morphine... Pain still hanging around but easier...

The experience was so surreal...

On Admittance the 'partner' is left outside and that is it...
Every Orifice they can test for wotever they do
You are only admitted when the test is clear and negative

only 5 to a ward  and the worst thing was ... it was the oldest part of the Hospital that was being used... scary spooky like an old film with Jack Nicholson in... eeek

BUT the biggest but

Out of 20 0dd nurses only one was Male.. and out of 20 0dd Nurses maybe two or three British UK

The bloomin Nurses were so fantastic --- patient kind and caring wonderful

Nurses did the Doctors clan walk discussions at the end of the Bed and Docs came in in twos not 22's  and the one I saw was ............pathetic.. ho hum

Technical Help / Re: Why cant I use extension lead
« on: Friday 17 July 20 09:12 BST (UK)  »
It is all about the fire risk.... if you add an extension lead that is then hidden or partly hidden under a work surface... You have lost control of the smell of wires etc if they touch... always have Plugs and Sockets in a position of safety. (and sight may look ugly but safety is best). or with automatic shut off device...


It is also about Insurance pay out... ask 'Severide' he will tell you. :)

The Lighter Side / Re: Who has a surprise connection to an historical figure?
« on: Wednesday 15 July 20 07:09 BST (UK)  »
I had never pushed my Fradd (Cornwall) line very far ... until just this last few weeks.. and now I have a collection of Royalists and all kinds of interesting folk...
It seems the world is connected to them all.. :) 

so will enjoy researching them.. but due to so many plastered all over Ancestry the hints are fast and furious.

Keigwins.. Trevathens .. Jeffreys..  Carminows  .. Tallerkerns ... right up to 1400's  and lots of tales on Google.. so yes... busy on this lot but want facts... which is a little difficult... :)   Google search is not now as it once was... ------ whereby you could type in a name and area and have REAL facts... now its often from some imaginary tree with the odd fact .. and no decent pics.. but am I just being picccccky   :) 

Xin related to the world.. it seems :)
