Backwards In High Heels

No Crisis In The NHS!

Phew the NHS is not in crisis and there is proof on BBC.

If you haven’t already seen it, you need to watch Doctors on BBC1, 2pm weekdays. If you work it seems appropriate to through a sickie to watch this weekday soap set in a Doctors surgery in Birmingham.

We follow the lives and tribulations of the doctors and each day usually focuses on a different case.

It’s marvellous, there is never a queue at the reception, the waiting room always has seats and the doctors have all the time in the world. In fact not only do they have all the time in the world, sometimes they see patients and are so concerned they trundle out merrily and do a impromptu home visit afterwards. Or if they see someone even just the littlest bit off colour in the street they pull them into the surgery and they get all the tests done there and then.

I don’t think they’d be interested in my storyline based on my experience of going to a doctor who started a 5 minute timer off as soon as I sat down and abruptly said "go".

Yippee!

I am grinning from ear to ear today.

As those who’ve endured this blog since its birth back in April/May, you’ll know I came out of the comedy closet and said this year I was going to give over some time to follow my dream of writing more, notably comedy.

There was a comedy writing competition this year. To enter it meant my taking a big leap, previously having been too nervous to let people actually see what I’ve written. I sent in my pieces and was just pleased to do that as it felt like a big step forward.

So imagine my face when I opened a letter this morning to say I’ve got through to the next round! Supposedly I went white!

I have to write some other pieces now.

I know there were a lot of entrants so I am amazed to get this far and wouldn't be disappointed if I didn't get to the next stage - but I will of course give it my best shot.

So, if over the next week I go very quiet or very hyper you know why! 

Move Over Hallmark

Some new greeting card verses to help you through all life’s experiences. Today:

Killer, Queen.
I apologise to the nation
For my over zealous use of pesticide
Which I sprayed too close to her Majesty
And inadvertently committed Regicide

Legs Akimbo
As an outing I know
You don’t associate it with cheer,
But it literally will be a knees up
When you have your cervical smear.
