Glad your feeling better, WN, hope that your electric is back on.

You certainly seem to be in the right place at the moment, TG, just getting away in time.

Getting out is not the problem, unless of course you want tyo go sking in Switzerland, it is the getting back, returned yesterday from visiting Spanish daughter, no drama, but i think as of tomorrow you need to take a PCR test, (£70+ on line) and then self isolate until such time as you get the results back hopefully negative, if not 10 days isolation.

This has the potential to cause havoc for those flying into the UK for xmas especially if they are arriving e.g. couple of days before xmas, as it is very doubtful results of any tests will be returned promtly , as we know from past experience.

Returned to find this cheeky little chappy still in the garden digging up all my bulbs, will have to be despatched Beautiful day, only 2 degs, but dont mind that if the sun is shinning

Just had a phone call from some friends in a village in Notts ,asking if we knew where our nearest defribilator was? Their son  saw an elderly resident collapse yesterday ,called for an ambulance the operator asked if he knew if there was a defribrilator in the village? That some one could get while he carried out CPR ,as they did not have one shown on their database

 

They phoned us as there had been a bit on the.TV this morning about locations as very few know even if there is one in their area

They say 5 Percent survive without intervention where as as many as 75percent or more if a defibrilator is used in a few minutes

I checked on line for around here and very few had been registered ,the nearest shows nearly a mile away

Do any of you know where the nearest one to you is?

Re the squirrel, planting bulbs is like opening a squirrel McDonalds😁 Put something spiky over the area or the pot where they are buried, holly is ideal. (Thank you to Rocky for this top tip👍)

I had a look to see if there is any kind of database for defibs, there are lots of Apps, lists, but sadly most seem very out of date. Certainly for our area, I know of at least five more that aren’t listed.

That is what I also found out of date info,,

I feel a couple of Email letters to HMG and our local And or County councils coming on

I think as most people know where the local pharmacy is I think would not be a bad place to have one with 24hr access outside as one known place
