We are so lucky to have our NHS,I am grateful for all the care I have had over the years. As for central heating,me too. I hate being cold so again am grateful. I find myself laying in bed planning the garden for the coming year. Enjoying the thought of warmer,sunny days Carole R
ReplyDeleteLuckily, I don't 'have' to go out in the cold and wet, so can stay indoors and get the benefit of the central heating. February always goes quickly for me, so it won't be too long until Spring ... my favourite time of the year ... well, along with autumn! xx
DeleteYou were able to get much accomplished this week, even though you were ill during part of it. Much to be cheerful about and grateful for. :)
ReplyDeleteLots to be grateful for.
ReplyDeleteThe NHS is such a treasure. As someone who now lives in the US I miss it terribly. Over here it is all about money. I find it really sad that when people are really ill they not only have to worry about fighting for their lives, they have to worry about whether they can afford care or how to pay for it. Even with insurance (which in itself is expensive) you still have to pay a lot of money for every visit and things you have done.
