Another day in camp- Its the First of March-where does the time go?


We had a nice day around the house today after the previous days excursions ‘up north’ as they say.  Jennifer is continuing to do the embroidery for one of the grandchildren and hope to have it complete before we leave Florida but it is coming along nicely.
Noel spent time catching up with three days blogging, the trouble is if you leave it for a few days you tend to forget what you did, not sure if this is a sign of getting older or the days are similar and nothing really stand out except in the case of Thursdays Sarasota visit. Time was also spent going through the friends photos which have recently been uploaded as some of them needed turning and so that is now complete. As I have previously mentioned, perhaps more than twice, that I am reading a book about a junior doctors exploits and also about the NHS and in particularly about A & E and the waiting lists. The current ,so called, approved maximum waiting time is four hours and hopefully it is less but what reminded me about this is the following. As you leave Sarasota there are number of hospitals, all private and vying for business and a couple of them have electronic signs up roadside advising the average wait time to see a Doctor and on the day we came back the sign for the Sarasota Main  Hospital was showing just six minutes, blooming Hell and further down the road another one was showing just four minutes.

Returning to politics for the moment I have concluded there are actually two TRUMP parties in the USA , one is the Official Donald Trump Republican Party and the other is ‘I hate Donald Trump Party’ or mostly known as Democrats who by chance have spent all the time since President Trump was elected to try and find out something wrong about him, with no obvious result. Yes he did perhaps pay off a porn star who said she spent the night with him, and so the Democrats are going after him for this forgetting all about  The Kennedy and Clinton affairs. What nobody seems to be doing is taking this lady to cleaners for trying to extort money from Trump. Its all wrong and no wonder nothing ever gets done in this country, perhaps its needs a Dictatorship Ha!!!
We worry about the UK and Brexit but there are serious issues in Spain, Italy, Greece, Germany, France, Sweden, Poland etc all of which are largely of EU making. Trump today described the EU as a ‘Museum piece’ and he is not wrong.
In the evening Jennifer made a really delicious cod, salmon and prawn dish with mashed potatoes, absolutely brilliant..
Then to bed after watching ‘The Grand Tour’
