Thanks everyone for your kind advice, it is a habit now to be careful so hopefully I will do things gradually ,if I keep my arm in the  light sling it will remind me to go slowly.

Just emailed the details of the programmes about Tutankhamen, with Dan Snow.Last week.

Flash Harry is very interested so they are recording them and will view them,the final scenes with the poor soul without the gold masks is a sad
sight , and might be edited  out.
I feel they should be left alone , not dragged around the world .


Well almost milky coffee time - with chocky biccies.
Must put my electric blanket on ,then un plug before getting in to bed ,neither Dreamland nor Slumberdown will say outright their products are safe for  those with pacemakers ,so I unplug mine before getting in to bed.
Well another day gone by ,my how they fly,!

Many thanks for your encouraging messages folks,it is very kind of you .

Rt. arm a bit sore now but it will pass.

Thanks Caw ,yes it has passed quickly ,after Thursday I can get back to normal arm movements.
Waiting to get to hospital for a check up, at the Heart Failure Clinic this morning ,it was made over the phone and as yet no written confirmation so I might get turned away !
Oh well it will be a ride out!

The above was yesterday ,now today -Tuesday.
Had my Covid at the local Chemist who also did the Flu one !
So have cancelled tomorrow’s ‘Flu at our Health Centre .
Waiting for Hotpoint to come re my oven .12-30 to  6.

Such a dark miserable day with teeming rain . Someone - a non resident -has parked their car in such a way that so it is easy for them to get out they have taken two places ,parked in the middle.
They live in the next avenue too!

Well on Friday I can lift my arm as much as I like!
The six weeks have gone quickly I must say .

Hope those unwell are alright , keeping cosy and remembering to drink plenty!

Baby Lily is one now, I have asked my grand daughter to set up a little account for her which I will pay into each month as I do with Flash Harry and Kyra ,they can buy what they would wish to have got from me for B/ days etc.
It starts them saving and in a way budgeting .Money for postage and presents goes to them.

Well oven man has been,we will see if the oven is any better. I need two oven thermometers the same ,I have several but all different makes.
Shouldn’t make a difference but——-

What a dark ,wet, cold day .Truly miserable .

Look after yourselves folks .
Cheerio.Viktoria.

The film starred -Spencer Tracey as presiding Judge ,Burt Lancaster ,Marlene Dietrich and Richard Widmark .

I can remember the scenes on Pathe News at the cinema,my Mum took me to a matinee of a “U” certificate ie suitable for children -BUT - the newsreel was horrific ,scenes from our troops entering Belsen and Buchenwald.
It was unbelievable ,yet there it was .
I can hear the gasps of horror that ran through the cinema goers still.

How sad your friend is not interested ,such momentous happenings .
I worked on a premature baby unit at a big local hospital ,one other nurse was Jewish and had a long number tattooed on her left inner arm .She had been in a concentration camp ,was about 30, this in 1959.
The hospital was not far from area of Manchester where many Jewish people had settled ,where sadly the recent attack on a Synagogue took place during a Holy Festival .

 By a great coincidence on T,V. this afternoon was the film”Judgement at Nuremberg”. A fact based courtroom story depicting the Nuremberg trials
where Nazis faced the death penalty.
It was riveting ,I have seen it before but was worth watching again.

Now a small scrap of material from Hitler’s bunker has been analysed ,getting his DNA from blood stains.
It was from the couch where presumably he spot himself when the Russians were closing in .
Typically cowardly.

Thankyou for the reminder / notification of  “The Moral Maze “.

Is there a date for this because the first word is really offensive, much used I know many years ago ,hopefully no longer.

The t in complextion seems strange ,I only know complexion .
When I put the t in it is underlined as an error.
Is that spelling in what you are quoting ?

Viktoria,

It could be a Phoenix ,a mythological bird said to emanate from fire.
Sometimes used to symbolise resurrection .
