SELSEY it’s not much fun having to double up on birthday and Christmas presents is it, especially when you’re a youngster.😖 But then you reach the age when presents don’t really matter and you’re just glad to be up and about and walking Sadie.😊
Anyway thinking of you today. Enjoy yourself. 🥳🍷🍰🍾

See 9 comments...This morning I got a face too face appointment with my doctor. It was so nice to sit in a waiting room like in the “olden” days and actually have a conversation, and be able to sneak a couple more questions in too as he was in a good mood. Just a mother and child before me, and one other lady. Now hoping the prescription he gave me is finally correct for my ongoing eye problem.

See 20 comments...Boris’ hair ..., has he been up at night helping feed the baby?? Surely he can afford a barber to go to No. 10 and give him regular haircuts like other leaders would do. Then I tried to imagine his hair cut in the same style as Sir Keir Starmer’s.😁😆

See 1 comment.......and sorry to follow up with my cheerful jive before. but just read the “good” news, Arthur’s evil stepmother has been confined to solitary due to other inmates treatment. So 29 years, maybe more, is an eternity. Haven’t heard about the father who deserves the same. Since this awful case 4 more babies/toddlers have been killed by parents.

Anything ! Every so often when need cheering up I watch this Austrian couple. Great song too. (Edited)See 22 comments...Can only get 2.20 mins on here unfortunately.

See 34 comments...Dear little Arthur for what you suffered, no one to hold you, love you, and watch over you in your final moments. Numerous failings by police and social service, made worse by lockdown. This story has effected me so badly these past weeks, I would go to bed thinking of what he went through. Today that evil woman wouldn’t even come up to face her sentence. as I’ve mentioned before how do monsters get away with that. 29 years but more than likely life means life in this case. His evil father 21 years. No remorse from either of them. He would have been better off with his drunken mother who wrote a heartwarming memory of him, that beautiful smile, read by his grandmother who was fobbed off by the authorities, A harrowing case for a juror, even reporters had to walk out listening to audios. They will face hell in prison now, and she already has. Let her see what it’s like.... So many children go through pain, his was daily...thousands over lockdown, plus mother’s being abused. Arthur you have broken my heart. I won’t forget you. ❤️

See 21 comments...My daughter was selling a mobile PHONE for her father in law at quite a high price, but good deal nevertheless. A man came to look at it, invited inside their house with the children there, and said he didn’t have enough cash would go to the bank and return, she thought okay as she had the phone, but no, in the meantime whilst they weren’t looking he had exchanged phones and left a broken one. She feels sick and even responsible, and is on phone now to police who of course won’t do anything. Also blaming her husband for not recharging the doorbell camera. She has a feeling where this man comes from too. Well her hubby had his bike stolen...it seems to me that when it comes to bikes and phones it’s a minefield out there. Her father in law will understand but at the same time she just feels so upset that someone could do this in her home whilst seeing 3 young children playing there.

See 9 comments...1,000 illegal immigrants arrived today, well 90% economic migrants let’s face it. We have nigh on 25,000 illegals expected this year. Not only is it costing a fortune, especially in these Covid days, and not only do we not have enough housing ourselves, even some RNLI volunteers are starting to get annoyed. Some of these young men are told by the smugglers just call 999 and you will be looked after. Already recent two drownings. How many are sent back??? None at this stage as they will throw away their papers and passports. The French say we make it easy with our handouts. Well we e handed out enough to them that’s for sure and they seem to find our fishing boats ok!! This has been discussed before. Hotels and a weekly £39.63ish.

See 15 comments...The madman that murdered those two sisters Bibaa and Nicole was allowed to sit with his back to the judge today, feet up on chair. The total disrespect. Like the killer of Millie Dowler and other young women, who never came up from his cell to hear his sentence, also the hook handed terrorist, and many others. Sorry but they should be dragged up and made to hear their fate and also face the family members and hear whatever they might want to say to these monsters.

See 24 comments...Did anyone watch this show on Mon night, or now on BBC iPlayer? The pollution that this company has created since turning to plastic is really depressing, and not just in Coca Cola bottles but other soft drinks they churn out. Even more sad when you see the poorest families in Uganda collecting and returning to recycle for about 4p a day - if that, and very young children not able to go to school.

See 14 comments...Young babies/children (mainly girls of course) are being sold in Afghanistan (by men/fathers of course) to make ends meet as so many people are starving. God help them where they end up. However it may help if the men didn’t keep making their poor wives pregnant . What a world we live in.

See 4 comments...What a pair, like the Everly Brothers. On iplayer now 2 older programmes “The Harmony Game” with them discussing their hits, and also “Concert in Central Park ”. Now both 80!! I introduced their music to one of the young girls I childminded - Alex - and when she went to Uni she took the hits CD I bought her as a present. She then ended up introducing her flat mates to their sound and they went out buying CDs/records for themselves. She also got into Paul Simon solos and had a discreet tattoo of “You can call me Al”. We’re still in touch, she’s now a mum herself. 🥰

See 8 comments...Fabulous programme just on BBC 1 with comedian Josh Widdicombe’s ancestry ... unbelievable . I won’t give it away to anyone who hasn’t watched as of yet but if you love history it’s fascinating.

See 88 comments.....and I just heard these figures. In Germany there are 5 doctors for every 1,000 people In Netherlands there are 4 doctors for every 1,000 people In France there are 3 doctors for every 1,000 people ... but in the UK there is 1 doctor for every 2,000 of us lot!! The number of people who have not been properly diagnosed with Altzheimers is because of not getting face to face appointments. ..and still these doctors take home a very good wage. My doctor is a one man band, I have to constantly follow up on things he should be doing. He drives a very flashy sports car when he does come into the surgery, and even built a marquee cover for it in extreme weathers, bless. ☺️

See 11 comments...Must admit I still find that figure amazing for just a few days of police who were originally just standing around and looking after the protesters safety... a retired vicar and dentist to name a couple.. but added to that the cleaning of blue paint and ungluing the idiots....but just imagine what could be done with that money. Increased salaries for nurses, hospital cleaners, care workers, the list is endless, and more importantly what about the expensive drugs needed for children in particular whose families have to crowdfund to get them treatment abroad. Please will these people just go and demonstrate outside the American, Chinese, Indian, Brazilian Embassies and many more countries polluting the oceans and cutting down the rainforests.

See 11 comments...Went to Sutton Marsden today, with a lovely driver from Kashmir (now Woking) who gave me a 35 min speech on the troubles there..still I like to learn, have an inquisitive mind.☺️ He LOVES this country by the way. Nice to hear. Then later I asked the nurse who was taking my bloods, a bit too tight for my liking on the elastic band😟 if she was Polish. NO RUSSIAN she said loudly! Oh have you lived here long? 20 years. Mentioned my visit there in 80s, and “nice” Gorbachev. Huh she snorted PUTIN is the man and she lived good life in the Motherland growing up, her father was in the KGB. Yes really. Wanted to say maybe that’s why you lived a good life.😆 Thought better not mention the poisonings and submarine in our waters now snooping around. Then she yelled I HATE THE AMERICANS. Everyone turned round, so this crying Polish woman who I had spoken to before, trying to comfort her as worrying about dying and leaving her young son...been there.. shouted out I HATE THE RUSSIANS. I decided this is where I need to shuffle off to the cafe and meet my lovely old lady with the 80 yr old tortoise...left in her Will to the RSPCA. (PS. All the other nurses were from The Philippines and just carried on in their usual quiet manner).😉

See 18 comments...Pen left behind two dogs which were the pets of a worker there, they have since been brought out by the Taliban and shot. Also a dog was stabbed by them in its crate which they never realised till some time later. God help the animals out there. 🙏 And god help little girls being taken away from their family as slave brides. 🙏 PS. Alpaca Geronimo has just been executed. PPS. Young gay Afghan trapped, beaten up and worse.

See 75 comments...Just read around 135 from abroad, as Gareth Southgate had mentioned at press conference, and 34 from UK... these were the severe posts that were found. Police have arrested about 11 people here so far, and have passed on the foreign addresses to their respective country’s authorities. Warning now that people can no longer feel they can hide behind social media accounts and “need to think again”.

See 19 comments...I’ll be honest I’m more into the classic films, maybe having worked at the British Film Institute in the 1970s and working for two film lecturers who were only interested in certain directors. We also got free National Film Theatre tickets so got to see all the best, and also see interviews with some of the greatest film stars of the day. And if you even breathed whilst watching films being shown you would get a Tut!! Forget all the munching, slurping, phones on, that goes on today, especially in those bijou cinemas. Anyway I just watched on BBC iplayer, “I remember Mama” 1948 for the first time. A beautiful very moving film of a Norwegian immigrant family in San Francisco. Irene Dunne should have got the Oscar. Can’t believe I hadn’t seen it before. Maybe more a woman’s film, if I’m allowed to say that today.

See 9 comments...“Panorama” tonight. 1,000s of race horses regularly slaughtered. Sickens me the way people, including a lot of drunken men and women at the races, who go betting on these beautiful animals, and Greyhounds with some ending up boiled alive in China, but most haven’t a clue or even care what happens to them afterwards. One thing in the Queen’s favour, her horses always have a good life after their money making days are over. When trainers say horses get a great life, treated well, oh yes until they’re no longer any use. No Freedom Day for them unless they have an exceptional pedigree. God I hate this cruel world ... children and animals being abused daily.

See 64 comments...My daughter is house hunting and couldn’t understand why this lovely house had been reduced in price and already an offer put in. She then read elsewhere a newspaper article that the drunken wife had fallen down the stairs, and ended up in a nasty way at the bottom on the wooden flooring (won’t go into gory detail) and sadly died. She was divorcing her husband, hmm...?? Her sister is now selling the house, why not the husband I don’t know. There were no children at home thank goodness. So my daughter can’t get her head around this especially as has same flooring and every time she went up/down the stairs, and her children, she would think of this tragedy. Her husband says not to be so silly but she’s declined to view. Estate agents say many people die in their houses, of course that happens, but usually in bed? In my first house the elderly lady died and I did ask was it in the bedroom, agent said no, well he would of course, but sometimes I felt I could smell an old fashioned perfume in the night... sorry now I’m getting eerie. So anyway my question is, knowing that history, “could you live in a house like that”...??
