had some nice weather for a few days. made the most of it when builders allowed/turned up.
Joan's progress is painfully slow. That said she should make some strides forward now they have finally listened and changed her blood pressure tablets from a double dose in the morning to one morning and afternoon. They are hoping to send her home in a few weeks. The Quantock hills are very beautiful but when you drive over them twice a day, everyday, they start to lose their appeal.
Turning our living room into a hospital ward. Also having a summerhouse built for some living space for me.
I was on the radio a couple of weeks back. They were talking about how to get woman to come forward in rape cases. Should they keep their identities secret even if their case fails. I had actually rang on an associated topic but gave them my thoughts.
What I rang about was a comment a senior police officer had made after yet another high profile individual had been acquitted. This man was a Deputy Speaker in our House of Commons. He is also gay. A number of complaints were made against him. He was subject to the usual vilification in the press and lost his job. All before he was tried. Back to the senior policeman. In his comments after the case he said it was right to bring it even if some of the witnesses hadn't realised they had been abused at the time the offences occured. Did that meant they did a trawl of the man's former lovers and convinced some that they had been abused? A bit disturbing that. On the day of the verdict the politition received lots of messages of support, some, it turned out, were from some of his accusors.
Oh. My comments on the other thing. There is a statute of a blindfolded woman on top of a building in London. She holds a set of scales in one hand. They are level.
