plan to combine 999 services & grey and rainy today

The Express today takes a dim view of the idea of combining the emergency 999 services - - - from stories about long waits and even "no shows" some people would be just glad to get an instant reaction when they ring 999 - - -

Here's an interesting story about the Amelia-Earhart-mystery .  She disappeared while trying to fly around the world way back in 1937.  An American teacher reckons to have found some bits of aluminium and part of a landing gear possibly from her aircraft on/near Mili atoll in the Marshall Islands - - -

Throw away your pills  - - - well at least the branded and widely advertised ones according to this story.  The article proposes that unbranded pills can do the same if not a better job of relief sometimes - - - proof positive though that whatever we see on the adverts we will believe to some extent - - - 

nice warm Temp stat this morning 

the weathercam however shows a grey cloudy sky and its raining quite well at the moment 

undeterred a soggy jackdaw is helping itself to the peanuts.  Yesterday while sitting in the garden early evening we saw 2 squirrels bounding around the trees.  One came over to our apple tree and sat there looking at us as if we were stopping it from having a go at the birdfeeders, quite amusing - - - 

Enjoy the day
