Ben and went to visit Mum today. Her garden is always somewhere to discover something interesting. There is always something to photograph. These beautiful daffodils are miniature ones in a pot in Mum's garden. They are tiny!

Ashes to Ashes

I don't know if anyone else watched Ashes to ashes last night. It is a follow up to "Life on Mars". This is set in the early 80's; a glamerous and intelligent female police officer with an interest in psychology suddely finds her self transported from 2007 back to 1981. It was slightly odd, needed a big stretch of the imagination but it was fun too.

I've just been to see Sicko, a film by Micheal Moore. It is about how the American health care system compares with health care in other country's; UK, France Canada and Cuba. It was a scary inditement of American health care. Slightly let down by over dramatising and a comparison of USA care against the health care given to detainees in Guantanamo which to be honest bordered on torture, subjecting the inmates to excessive and intrusive and invasive investigations and supposed screening. It also revealed some flaws in our system such as the massive amounts GP's appear to be paid considering they on the whole no longer provide an out of hours service. I'm not denying that most GP's do very good work or that they are encouraged to practice preventative medicine is a good thing; but I do worry about the accessibility of primary health care. All this said it should be compulsory viewing for any one involved in planning or commissioning health care.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
