Merry Christmas, Health, happiness and peace, to one and all.

It worked! Thanks chaps. Power of posative thought. I'm going home!!! I'm going home!!! Perfect score. Nothing wrong as I said in the first place! 4 days of hell for that. It's over, new day 2morrow, just waiting transport home. Back to my cosy little hobbit hole.xxx

All done and waiting for result. Just read my last post. Absolute gibberish! I think my stress factors were a bit high to say the least. Back to normal English now. May correct it later or leave it for posterity as a witness to my temporary insanity. Keep up the mantra folks...

It is Musgrove Park! You only get that view from the private single occupancy rooms, which I started off in, now in a bedlam ward. Had someone try steal my phone and rifle through my stuff while I was asleep last night. Security called twice before 1 am. Nutter two beds over yelling all night...

Go on guess! I'll put you out of your misery tho it's still in mine. I think you'll find it's brocoli and cauliflower cheese, veg cooked to pulp, need spoon to eat, cheese missing in action, and potato salad, with a side serving of a salad, which never made it to the front line. I had a...

Hospital lunch. I wish we had smelly vision! Please guess what it is.

The million dollar get well soon view from ward window. incedently, I can't see it as my position at opposite end of ward from window gives only a red brick wall. Going ...stir crazy!

Thanks Toddy, it's not great, they've put me in a locked dementia ward. I have a bad chest infection. Coughing up blood. Not great, but I don't need nannying! But i will be demented if i stay much longer!!!!! been giving me normal food after saying six times I'm on g/f. I discovered this...

Well, guess who's on hospital right now? Yes me. I'm not having a great time as they are making a lot of mistakes..nearly gave me a double dose of a pre existing med yesterday, and they don't like being picked up about it. More tests I should have had yesterday, (but didn't happen) today and out...

Oh dear, that's nasty stuff. The park rangers here have been trying to eradicate it localy, for several years. it's a tuff job if it gets established which it often does because people are not familiar with it, so don't realy notice it. Need a crew on daily watch for roots and young plants...

The gov recommendation of 3 days worth of food, some candles water and a wind up radio make me laugh. Seriously? 3days? The recent co op i.t. outage lasted longer than that! The water outage in Brixham last year lasted longer, as did the recent Tunbridge Wells one. Again directing us to look at...

Less than 10 mins after my last post, I learned USA has just foiled a massive bomb attack planned for Xmas in LA. Guys this is getting very serious. I realise, most of us don't want to see it. We have to take our heads out of the sand. Suggest grape alarms in ladies Xmas stockings would be a...

Sat evening , I'm told, the next town over..(wiviliscombe about 15 miles away) hunting shooting fishing shop was raided. Can't as yet ascertain any details, but they do/did have guns in the shop. Still trying to find details, but its all gone very quiet on this incident. Yet another attack on...

I'm trying hard to think what bushcraft skills would be useful in certain situations., such as the recent terrible bondi beach attack, train stabbings, Christmas Market attacks. Etc. Its becoming much more prevalent, so apart from not going to events, or never leaving our homes..tho even that...

You'll get there mate. Had one myself about 14yrs ago, I'm a bit slower but still playing. I was out shopping 3 days out of hospital! Only on blood pressure tabs now. Changed my lifestyle a bit, ate better, worried less. No point in worrying. Find out what caused it, high cholesterol, smoking...

No I didn't know about the other book. One to search out and add to my library. Thanks.

My feeling is a financial collapse is on the way. Along with an Alan's snackbar attempt to take over . We should be preparing for that. Most Bushcraft skills won't be of much use in either of those scenarios, tho might come in handy if you are made homeless somehow. It's a tricky subject here...

Dont get me wrong, I was being cynical. I am a pacifist if truth be told. I don't even like arguing. It's more a comment on the attitude of those in power worldwide who seem to want to take the human race into oblivion by various means. Maybe I should have said "a good old war" I lost a pal in...

Well, we are being told to prepare for war by the government. We realy are being feared up. The doctors are going on strike, for yet more money,flu is gaining a foothold again , and we are being advised to wear masks again, despite all the jibby jabbys we are encouraged to take,( hospitals are...

I've just picked up eating for victory, healthy home front cooking on war rations, reproductions of ww11 instruction leaflets. I use my bushcraft and homesteading skills in everyday life anyway. today in the charity shop I picked up another box of old candles(12 for 5 shillings on the box) for...
