Not today but Saturday. Brilliant day with Dave Thorpe Honda off road centre near Minehead. Very wet, muddy, bruising and exhausting. What a great family day out - 2 sons, daughter, son-in-law et moi!

Up early. Wife to work, walked dog with daughter in the park, then took her to train station. Back home. Load dishwasher, about to join morning prayers, then will do some walks visiting parishioners and so on. Taking dog for a walk this PM and then fetching wife/daughter before heading back to Church to do Compline and then cleaning the church hall etc after 9.15pm.

Took Mrs. Gremlin to the minor injuries unit at our local hospital. After last weekends party she was walking around barefoot ( :roll: ) and, we think, trod on a piece of glass. She's been hobbling around and it's getting more painful, with a bit of pus coming from where we think the splinter is. :sick:

So she hobbles off to hospital yesterday, has an x-ray fairly live-o, but they then tell her it's about an eight hour wait. Place was pandemonium by all accounts, so she asked if she could come back when it was quieter, hence I dropped her back at 6am this morning.

But, no, being the NHS, they say a new x-ray has to be done, which it duly was. After reviewing it they said they couldn't do anything as it's quite deep with no visible exit route. Fracture clinic will contact her in due course, whatever that means in NHS terms.

Interestingly she said that this morning a young lad was bought in escorted by 10 police officers. Four went into the treatment room (crims get priority!) whilst the other six just hung around. I did have to wonder why 10 coppers are needed for one lad.

Or the baying mob who'd been waiting hours to be seen and have watched him waltz straight into a treatment room. :lol:

Most countries have private clinics where you just walk in and pay.
Sounds like a demand for them near you.

Was trying to find one yesterday but failed as I would have happily paid. We have private GP cover and AXA healthcare, but not sure if that would cover this as it sort falls between the two. Might give the GP a call later to see what they can suggest.

Edit - they said piss off and send her to A+E :lol:

I've got private health care here as the law says I must.
When I hit retirement age I can join their NHS which is fantastic.
