Well, somebody has to say something!
13/08/2007 by Ted.
MONDAY 13 AUGUST 2007. GREETINGS TO FAMILY MEMBERS AND VISITORS FROM A WILD AND WINDY CUMBRIA. I HAVE JUST PUT ON MY WASHING, HAD MY BREAKFAST AND CHECKED THE BLOG WHICH WAS JUST THE SAME AS I LEFT IT LAST TIME I DID A POST. SOMEHOW WE ARE STILL GETTING AROUND 2000 VISITS A MONTH FROM ALL OVER THE PLACE SO I THOUGHT, FOR THE WIDER NON-FAMILY READERS, I WOULD MAKE ANOTHER CONTRIBUTION.
THE SIGNS OF AUTUMN ARE SHOWING HERE IN CUMBRIA - THE BLACKBERRIES ARE NOW FORMING ON THE BRAMBLES AND THEY ARE THE LAST FRUITS OF THE SUMMER. ALSO LEAVES ARE STARTING TO BLOW AROUND BUT THAT MAY BECAUSE OF THE STRENGTH OF THE WIND AND NOT THE AUTUMNAL SYMPTOMS. AND IT IS GETTING COOLER. WOW! ENJOYING IT? WINTER IS ON THE WAY.
ALL CONTINUES WELL AT ST. GEORGE’S. MUM IS GETTING PLENTY OF VISITORS - CHRISTINE ON WEDNESDAY, ANDREW ON FRIDAY, PETER ON SATURDAY AND PETER AND BARBARA AND PHILIP AND ALI AND WILLIAM ON SUNDAY - THAT IN ADDITION TO TED EVERY DAY AS WELL.
WE HAD A CRISIS WITH HER HEARING AID AS READERS WILL BE AWARE. ONE STOPPED WORKING AND WAS SENT TO FURNESS GENERAL HOSPITAL - 23 MILES AWAY - FOR ATTENTION. IT CAME BACK A DAY OR SO LATER BUT WAS STILL NOT WORKING. SO IT WAS SENT BACK AGAIN AND A DAY OR THREE LATER WAS RETURNED - THIS TIME WORKING. MUM WORE IT ALL DAY AND IT WAS FINE UNTIL SHE GOT INTO BED - WHEN IT PACKED UP AGAIN. TED FIDDLED AROUND WITH IT AND IT SUDDENLY STARTED WORKING AGAIN. OVERJOYED MUM PLACED IT BACK IN HER EAR WHEN, ONCE AGAIN, IT STOPPED WORKING. MORE FIDDLING AND IT WAS FINE AGAIN - INTERMITTENTLY. ANYWAY SHE FINALLY TOOK IT OUT AS SHE DOES EACH EVENING AND PLACED IT ON THE TABLE - SEEMINGLY STILL OK.
AS TED WALKED HOME IT OCCURRED TO HIM THAT THE CAUSE OF THE INTERMITTENT WORKING WHILE SHE IS IN BED MAY BE DUE TO STATIC ELECTRICITY IN ONE OF HER PILLOWS - WHICH IT TURNED OUT TO BE. THE MORAL - NEVER PLACE YOUR HEARING AID AGAINST THE MAN-MADE COVERING ON A PILLOW. IT WONT WORK!
IN NOVEMBER TED IS HAVING A WEEK’S HOLIDAY IN PORTUGAL, FLYING OUT ON THE 17TH AND RETURNING ON THE 24TH.
RIGHT, THAT IS IT FOR NOW. I DO HOPE THE SITE STATISTICS ARE NOT JUST “SPIN” AND THERE IS SOMEONE OUT THERE TO READ THIS. SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE LOOKING IN A MIRROR AND NOT SEEING A REFLECTION - JUST EMPTYNESS. ANYWAY WHOEVER YOU ARE, WHEREVER YOU ARE, IF YOU ARE THERE, GREETINGS AND WONDERFUL WISHES FROM MUM AND TED.
