Hotter and hotter

 Our short summer gets hotter every day, over 35 degrees due today.

Another scorcher

Over the past few scorching hot days we have randomly sought out good holiday destinations and good retaurants "off the beaten track" in Norfolk with surprising results; Holt is a good base for visiting excellent unspoilt nearby coastal villages and restaurants,most of the latter specialising in local caught crabs and mussels at reasonable prices. However, you need a great deal of patience, as service seems to be low on their list of priorities.

Cromer is another hidden gem and boasts an enomous church, well worth a visit for coffee and cake, obviosily outside other church events.

End of "holiday"

I have unofficially deleted myself from Leicester hospital "care". It seems I had  been deleted to the"Liverpool pathway ", whereby some unfortunate old hospital patients were left to their own devices and several died of starvation and/ or dehydration.

It was a devious and illegal method of clearing bedspace in NHS hospitals, stopped by the government once it became aware.

Indian summer.,

And where better to experience it than in Leicestershire . Today is reputed to reach 34 degrees centigrade, hotter than most holiday destinations across the world.

World Cup report

The final game of this never-ending tournament happens tonight (barring the final) involving England v Columbia. Two contrasting styles should make for an interesting game,even though Arsenal will not be represented. I was quietly forgotten at home and never requested to return to hospital, which suited me. I think my "illness"has flummoxed the medical experts(?)

Up and down

My mood continues its roller coaster journey but overall my health seems ok although I have suffered a few falls making my knees resemble war zones. My next project is getting my bladder and prostrate sorted. 

World Cup preview

I'm very pleased at the ripe old age of 69 I have Iived to see England reach the World Cup finals twice. Today they thrashed Panamar 6... 1.  To reach the last 16 and the knockout section. Can they win the tournament for the second time in my lifetime? Germany are already out. Arsenals star player did not even make the German bench today.what does that tell you? WEnger has gone,where we don't know.His replacement starts work today, TUesday 26th June. He has already got shot of half our defence (to other clubs) and has signed replacements, none of whom I have ever heard of. The first game of the new season kicks off soon,We'll see what happens. Recent weather has swung from extreme heat to below average temps day by day but we are returning home today via Margaret and Bob.
