Thanks Emery, he is pretty poorly. *We went out to lunch today with

Judging from the recent well publicised skiing accident, Edward should be in
hospital.

Best wishes to you both!

Thanks Martin, he was seen at Issoire Hospital at the time, the bleed
ha taken a few days to develop in and under his eyes. I am watching
him and on Monday he will be seen at a Clinique in Clermont to ensure
everything is o.k.

Give him a cork to take with him au clinique - these French medics have

As I type he is sitting behind me on the sofa, he is fragile, of that
there is no doubt, I hate seeing him like this, he is usually such a
strong, stoic man. He can sit in the sun tomorrow and watch me
putting together the door of the greenhouse.

I keep hens.

Bobbie
I eat them. I doubt if they'd keep more than a few days in the
fridge.

LOL Foolish boy!

Why? They are quite yummy.


Shirley not straight from the fridge? Perhaps a little singeing, a
little pepper and salt and a lorra heat.
Preferably a touch of marinade or stuffing.
BUT not my chooks. Not sure what I will do when they stop laying, but
the thought of eating one of them does not appeal.

You send them to me Bobbie, I will take good care of them, I promise!!!

now.. where did I put that stuffing

Good! That skiing accident put the wind up me. I had a fall a couple of
months ago and I banged my head quite badly. Of course I didn't want any
fuss but David insisted on taking me to the hospital. I was ok, just glue
to stick the wound g but after reading about the skiiing thing, I realised
how stupid i had been. I will never treat a bang on the head so flippantly
again.

Good for David, wise move. Our Grandson Ben slipped on ice on the
slopes a few years ago whilst staying with us, he had to have
stitches, since then, he has worn a helmet, much to his disgust :-)

I remember that fight to get them to wear helmets. Mine hated them because
they made them so hot but I insisted on them, as did their instructors.
It's more difficult to do that with adults of course, which is why Natasha
Richardson died so sadly and in a way that could have been preventable.

Did you try to get your kids to where bicycle helmets. Both our kids refused
point blank, because no other kids wore them. Somebody I worked with fell off
his bike and hit his head on the edge of a curb, luckily he was wearing a
helmet
that saved him from a nasty injury or worse. His helmet was wrecked.

I've taken the liberty of changing this thread's title.

Luckily, mine used bicycles very little for a variety of reasons. But an
acquaintance of mine jumped off one of those slow-moving 'tourist' trains as
it drew to a halt in a town centre, tripped and hit his head and to this
day, lives in a home with a permanent nurse. He was on life support and his
wife refused to let them switch it off but he does not have his full senses
back and they divorced many years ago. He is one I know of of three people
who have had seemingly innocent accidents involving a bang to the head, and
all have had entirely different immediate reactions and recovery rates. One
rode a bicycle into an old lady who stepped out into the road. Another was
knocked over by a dog while walking on Dartmoor and hit his head on a rock.
The bicycle incident took years of recovery and terrible short-term memory
loss, as well as being unemployable, for the young cyclist - the old lady
was fine, the Dartmoor incident appears to have led to a total loss of
memory in terms of recognising family members etc., permanent
hospitalisation and being unable even to realise that his wife has died. It
may be that it has accelerated Alzheimer's but nobody seems quite sure of
this.
In the case of Judith's husband, clearly he is being extremely carefully
monitored with really excellent care and a vigilant wife! I'm guessing
that the immediate 'bad' reaction point is passed because I don't think any
of those take days to display themselves.

The children these days are used to the helmets and don't bother. I
suppose it wasn't 'cool' then. I was offered stitches or glue btw I chose
glue as the less sore option. I was warned it would leave a big scar, but
since it was on the back of my head I didn't care much

Nasty when it's on the back of the head. Glue is great instead of
stitches. I wonder why our Ben wasn't offered that choice, I would
prefer glue over stitches any day and don't mention those metal clips,
ugh the pain on removal!!!!

We have, we should have a sub-group "Expert Urglers on Hens". There
was a business some years ago made up of some contributors here and it
was called "Expert Gardener" I think Alan Titchmarsh was involved, I
can't remember much about it, it folded, Sacha would know more than
me.
