Is any one else having problems with this doctor ? a friiend of mine reported incompetence with this doctor and recommended coming to the Murray,Ulverston practice if you need a doctor in Broughton.
He found Dr Frazer of Murray's very helpful.For my part. I am very happy with this practice in dealing with my recent stroke and would strongly recommend them

Maya Angelou quotes
An incredibly wise woman: I"ve learnt so much from her. please take the time to watch.
Her quotes

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.
I do not trust people who don't love themselves and yet tell me, 'I love you.' There is an African saying which is: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.
We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.
You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.
My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.
Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass.
The love of the family, the love of the person can heal. It heals the scars left by a larger society. A massive, powerful society.
Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.
Nothing will work unless you do.
It's one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, to forgive. Forgive everybody.
I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way (s)he handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.
Another lovely day
Been out causing mischief.
David is all set up on his market stall full of plants looking forward to a great day
Now I'm back for breakfast the lovely sound of Kathleen Ferrier :my what a lovely voice:
We'll be there playing chess on the Market Square,at 10:30 till 1:00
Will I beat Peter? : I doubt it but here's to a surprise move

our town council
here'sthe view of one of our councillors
"I think you are right that councillors don’t encourage others enough, with some honourable exceptions. I also find it very frustrating that council meetings are often taken up with procedure and internal navel gazing about what time meetings are going to be held and who is going to sit on which committees. All of this stifles discussion about real issues that are important to the town – and as a result nothing happens. You are probably right that community action is far more effective."
in response to:
This my greatest criticism of councillors : they don't encourage members of the public to get involved :they are not for the most part facilitators, they want to be seen aswonderful leaders when they're not.
I made a sincere offer to help with ideas to get the market going : I made my living through my ideas : two patents working for Glaxo and Shell;was highly regarded in London as a teacher by the creatiivity unit at the QCA(education's think tank) - yet here I am totally ignored and even derided by people like the dreaded Colin Picthall who mocks my offer of ideas with: "we don't need your bad ideas"
It was this creativity that made by business at The Falls such a success with it's unique Food service.(btought to an end in 1983 by divorce) I have some high up educationalist who wish to call me a genius over what I achieved in the field of Information Technology - where I was well before my time!
All of which, as you can imagine, is highly frustrating.

Take life as it comes
"You've just got to get on with it , haven't you?" from a lovely man we all know on the market.
a fellow 'free spirit who lives life to the full!
"We're very determined"says David repeatedlywith his head chopped off!-lovely view of his sweater!
Now David hasa new challenge :one he's taking in his stride :my what an example to us all

lovely quote
“If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.”
Such a tragedy occurred yesterday as the world lost the great, inspirational, and brilliant Maya Angelou.
Thank god I've been enabled by my education to be abnormal and proud of it!
Take care
Take care, take care. take care, take care,take care,take care,
Who wants to take care,when one can take such delicous risks as standing on a stool and testing your sense of balancewhen it's abit dodgey from having had a stroke?
Do you tell a sky diver "take care," before he jumps out of the plane?
Wouldn't "Have fun"be more appropriate?
Take care,take care,take care,take care,: boring, boring, boring, boring.
Welcome to another delightfully dangerous day: but then I'm a high risk taker: it keeps me "on the ball"and I love every minute of it.

I did it myself !
This was the triumphal cry of Eric when he finally got his tricycle up onto the pavenent all on his own, something he had beebravely struggled with fo weeks and only helped at the very last minute.
THis is a mistake made so often by parents they like to 'rescue'there little dears asthough they can't cope for themselves. Letting children struggleshows far more respect for th child.This is the route to a confident child: something demonstrated well by Iris his sisterthen aged five. When we boarded a double-decker bus she was straight on the bus, well ahead of the rest us and up the difficult stairs to the top, to be found by us when we finally arrived, either sitting in the prime seat at the front with it's commanding view, or on the chummy back seat with the other characters!
The same kind of thing i shappening to me , now that I've had astroke people see me as helpless and needing their help. That doesn't last long I assure you. They quickly get put in their place .
I too lovecrying out loud :
"I DID IT MYSELF"
This keeps my self confidence running high as I charge confidently to a full recovery.
Bewarned :keep your helping hands to yourself: or I'll bite!
Be sure I'll ask if I need your help thank you for offering

Enjoy life being silly
Some ideas on how to get back in touch with the child deep inside each one of us, coming up.
Are we afraid to have fun behaving childishly?
This is perhaps why I love the company of very small children and feel severely deprived my being cut off from two of my 'mates', Eric and Iris. Now I have Holly , James and Ewan to act 'silly ' with.
This is, I think why I love reading children's stories:it gives me the chance to makelotsof unbelievably strange noises (backto my porage which remains only half eaten!)
