A bit wet

It was cold, wet and windy. But we ventured out. Not for long it's true.

Joan had another small bleed at the weekend. We think it was because a consultant from the Stroke Unit breezed in on Friday whilst she was in the middle of her evening meal. Gave her a cursory examination and pronounced that she was a suitable candidate for moving into another unit further away from home. She was very worried about this. We think the extra stress may have caused a mini-stroke. The consultant is off sick at the moment. I hope to speak to him one day soon.

A slow progress

Not a lot of change in Joan's condition. Or maybe it is because I see her everyday and it would take something major to register with me. All the medics seem pleased with her progress.

Pluto is well. Not had the results from the Vet's yet but the spot has disappeared. So looks like he is cured.

Large areas where I live are under water. Years of neglect of the drainage system. Trying to justify the current position by computer modelling. For hundreds of years the water levels were managed by keeping drainage ditches cleared and rivers dredged. Then, thirty years ago, somebody decided they no longer needed doing.

Fortunately I live 72 feet above sea level so hopefully the waters won't rise this high. If they do half the country if not the world will be flooded. More rain forecast for at least the next two weeks.
