End of the world is nigh

Husband still poorly and children nagging me to make him go to the doctor. I tell them I've tried!

But he must have been feeling bad because he allowed me to use the online triage system that the surgery has this morning, and he had an appointment this afternoon.

Probably flu or covid - they don't differentiate any more - but he's being sent for an urgent blood test first thing tomorrow. He must be proper poorly because he's not objected to me filling the dishwasher, not once but twice, and it will be three times today. And I had to put the rubbish out! 

And I have an ulcer on the side of my tongue and a cold sore inside my nose but do you hear me complain? No. Well, you would if you were here but you're not so I'm grumbling to myself.

We have some unusual characters in Zac's. One man, who comes now and again, has positively peculiar ideas. We walked in together on Tuesday and with barely a 'hello' he launched into his, "Trump will be elected and in four years he will lead hundreds of thousands to God, America will be great again and show the world how to live, and then the end of the world will come." 

You heard it here first: you have four years left on this planet!

And that isn't even his craziest idea.

He knows, by the way, because he was told by a prophet. I've tried to find her on the internet but I may have got her name wrong so I won't mention it.

the man who was going to come for the bible couldn't make it but another man came today and collected it. He and his partner are renovating an old chapel in mid-Wales. His partner is an artist and he has taken the bible for her to be creative!

Some might say I planted the roses too close together; I say I wanted a carnival of colour.

Speaking of colour, here's a proud dragon I spotted in town yesterday.

Currently watching England play Denmark in the Euros. (Only because I was eating dinner in there.) Half-time and they go to the commentary team.
"That's a peculiar hairstyle!
"Oh now, that's the same but better.
"Don't you think?"
Husband: "I'm not really thinking about their hair."

Well, the football's pretty boring.

They do say that Maga is a cult, and it seems to be so.

Well if it's true about Trump then I'm going to have to unfollow a few people on Facebook who are extreme Trump haters. I get sick of all their posts when they get on a roll about him.

Let's hope husband gets a good rx and gets over this misery.

Thanks for the heads up about the end of the world. I'd better start getting my act together :-)

Being sick in the summer is so much worse than during the winter. Here’s hoping your man gets sorted soon

The end of the world has been nigh so many times over the centuries.
I love the riotous roses - a gorgeous carnival of colour.
I hope your husband feels better soon.
