Today's excitement is walking down the corridor for a costa coffee in the hospital. Tea on supply in room, but instant coffee is not for me.

Maybe an iced bun with it?

Supposed to be another sunny day but it is currently raining.
Some people seem to make life difficult for themselves. They get a job at the local hospital and manage eventually to get somewhere to stay. Now she wants grazing for her 4 sheep and 2 ponies.
Grazing land is about as difficult to find as housing now.
There is a small rocky field just across the road from my house which has been used by somebody who kept sheep and sometimes a couple of ponies but not really big enough for long term use.
If it was not so rocky there would be colony of holiday homes on it by now to the fury of all who live in this area.

Fields here are at a very high level with regards to production of food.
If it's usable then it will have veg growing in it.
We had horses for many years and always managed to rent land as I used to farm . Everything is at a premium now. Jobs,land, housing and the overpopulation is only going to increase

Have only been to Roundhay Park once can’t remember what year it was but it was for the World Cyclo Cross Championship
That was the year Roger Hammond won the Junior race.

Year was 1992

Round here they build houses on them

In the last 18 months three farms have sold productive land for housing.The smallish eighty houses ,The largest one hundred and twenty.

The school and the Doctors are feeling the strain It doesn’t seem that planning takes into account these factors

Just over £8 for three. I know, but my coffee maker is at home. Get fleeced at the on site cafe, but it's at least a charity. No breakfast this am as the Nursing Assistant wasn't as nice as yesterday's. Took one look at MIL said no food, then went. May walk to the supermarket for some breakfast.

Cos they might be useful someday?

I've got boxes full of stuff that might be useful one day, most of it should go in the bin but it can't, as soon as I throw it I'm going to need it.

There not allowed to build much here. It's mostly AONB or SSSI
It's ok on the clays tho, there building entire " villages" on quarryed land that was a pit just 5 years ago.
St Austell has tripled in size over the last 10 years or so but the poverty has gone up 500%.
It's all very well building but the supermarket cannot employ all and sundry.
When a house comes up it's sold in just days and as for rental properties they go usually within an hour or so.

Breakfast coming. A lovely HCA has just been in offering it all. Phew.

The sister's are driving me nuts with their faffing. Just wish they would let their mum rest, they keep disturbing her. Palliative care haven't been down yet, but this takes time (weekend admission) but she's receiving the same drugs, but not on a driver. Did tell the sister's, once MIL is on a driver she will be out of it, rather than having some lucid times as current meds wear off.

Our little monster just caught a Slow worm. It was a biggish one. I scared Georgie off so that I could rescue it . I don't know if it was playing dead as it wasn't moving . I had some spots of blood on my hands . My wife took it off me to take it up to our compost bin . They usually gather in there .
