Like several others here, I was up before 6.

I was one of those people who always slept like the dead, but that's far in my past now. One of the terrible ironies of age that many of us suffer: now that our schedules permit us to sleep late our bodies refuse to cooperate. So frustrating.

That's because dear @StarSong our bodies know there's less time left and need to experience ourselves awake. Before it's too late.

Now get up and start percolating! 🙃

Absolutely disgusting. Uncomfortable. I doubt there’s a toilet or any food. Does an ambulance attendant have to sit with her. Can you even go in to see her. Has anyone even checked her out to see how severe this is. I hate to even think how bad she is feeling. As bad as we think being stuck in a hallway is, it would be better than this.

On top of all this, your wife being in the ambulance means that it can’t be used for other emergencies.

What a nightmare.

Unacceptable!!! I’m sure it’s not the crew’s fault but whatever the SNAFU, it should have been resolved. Oh my gosh, that makes my blood boil

this is very common unfortunately... verrry.... right now as we speak there will be every NHS hospital in the whole country will have Ambulances lined up with patients aboard. Some will get into a corridor on a stretcher trolley and be seen by a nurse and checked that they've got all their body parts.. maybe inject them with a painkiller, and hook up to drip to stop them dehydrating, and they will wait until a doctor can see them whenever that might be. Others will be kept outside in the ambulance being tended to out there by the paramedics, because there's no space in the corridors much less the wards..

It's a diabolical situation which has been going on for years now...

The worst time to call an ambulance will always be between Friday & Monday because there's very few doctors on call...and the absolute worst time is a weekend like this which is the Holiday weekend/week.. so there's few Doctors, nurses, Paramedics, Radiology staff, Porters, and of course Ambulance staff

Today the sun won, and it was a beautiful day after all... I took myself off to watch the cricket. I love the cricket when I get a chance to watch it on the village sports green...

...noticed when I was coming home all the Poppies are out in the fields...

...got back home, and I did some more gardening. The Laurel hedge at the back behind the barn is over 30 feet high and about 100 feet wide, and in the last week it's just sprouted horizontally.. so it's now threatening to grow over the Barn roof.. I had to get the darn trimmer out again and cut as far up as I could reach.. which was only about 10 feet ( I didn't use the ladders) ... and then of course I had to brush up all the big leaves.. I'm going to have to call in someone to cut the Laurel even if not the other hedges, because that's just too huge... now...

After that, I had to gather some more info for my lawyer, print & scan and put that into DF format and send to her... then ..I cooked Pork belly for dinner, and had that with mashed spuds and gravy.... and now at almost 9pm , I'm sitting down again..
