While Hubby was looking out of our lounge window this little chap was looking in.
Around the garden so many of the spring bulbs are now showing through.
It's still cold and quite damp most days.
Cuppa at Daughter's and we were there as Hubby had to help her get her broken dishwasher out of the back room and removed to the tip ready for the new one to arrive the next day. Hubby was there for the new one to install too.
I hate moaning about our NHS as they have certainly given me all they have over the years, however there are now so many problems! Last week our neighbour had to leave home in an ambulance. It arrived with three paramedics from Colchester as Ipswich didn't have one to spare. We heard later he had to spend nearly eight hours on the ambulance as there was no room inside A&E. That stopped the ambulance and three paramedics able to take more calls! He then spent 24 hours in A&E before there was a bed on a ward for him! For me two things this week. On Monday I ordered more prescriptions online and left a message on the answerphone of the urology consultant's secretary. Tuesday the NHS App showed my prescriptions had been issued direct to my chemist. Thursday I still hadn't heard back from urology so asked my Oncology Nurse to chase for me, she did and rang back to say I can't get a more urgent appointment than the end of the month. Friday when Hubby called in the chemist they had no meds for me, so I rang the surgery who said they had been predated for next Monday..... they have never predated meds before and she didn't know why these had!
Friday was the funeral for Jo Carrick, owner and director for The Red Rose Chain Theatre and R's boss. I knew the town centre church would be full and I joined them online at the live stream. The front choir pews were filled with her theatre performers, including R, who all came out to the front four times and performed songs Jo had written, with Vincent on guitar and R on accordion. Her husband and son both gave very emotional tributes and poems were read. It was a beautiful service.
Enjoy whatever you have planned for the weekend. I'll see you next week.

what a floofy blue tit!
There was a gentleman on the floor in the rain outside the supermarket this week. He'd been waiting 90 minutes on the ground in the cold and an ambulance still hadn't been despatched. He'd just had a hip replacement. Supermarket staff had wrapped him with many heat retaining metal blankets but they all looked worried.
Watching the tv programme Ambulance and this is a nationwide problem.
That's tragic and shouldn't be our normal :-(
