There used to be an icecream chain, the name of which I have forgotten, that had something called "the kitchen sink" - it was the size of a punch bowl, and had scoops of every flavor they had, every topping and fruit, and a mountain of whipped cream. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YzNDw6l1SM. there is only one left.... these ^ are seriously evil tho . there was a farrell's we went to when i was little for all those celebrations

1. Four years ago a daughter-in-law gave Mrs Faz a wicker bowl that could be hung in a tree for birds to nest in. 2. Birds ignored it until yesterday when a wren was very busy building a nest. 3. No sign of the wren this morning. 4. Did the wren not like us peering through the dining room window? 5. Or did the neighbour's cat.....

1. 24 hours of on-off rain seems to have passed. 2. the sun is out. 3. Mrs Faz and I are going for a brief walk. 4. Then I go to have the dressing changed on my foot. 5. Edited to say we went to the clinic in the neighbouring town. It took half an hour to process my details. I have an appointment with Eunice to change the dressing on my wretched foot at 6.40 pm. Wisely I am told to come half an hour early to register. 6. Nothing used to take so long before computers. Frequently the receptionist dealing with me peered at the screen or at my UK Health Card through a magnifying glass.

This had a wonderful effect on the flow of patients and we were seen half an hour early.

I didn’t mean to sound flippant in my previous post. When I was going through a bad time, I remember how difficult it was to sleep and the night was the longest and slowest passing time in a whole 24 hour period. Nothing happens at three in the morning and it’s horrible, I had the television on at least there were people’s voices. I used to pray. I did find praying helped calm me. I drank endless cups of tea till I was all tead out. How this helps I do not know, I think I am trying to let you know you are not all alone, others have been in this situation of not being able to sleep at least once in their life. But it does get better as most things do.
