Whooping Cough, Scotland and MPs

It's Sunday again so we had the toddler for the day. OH took her to a local kids farm to feed the ducks as we have quite a few stale rolls left from the barbecue. She slept an hour and a half after a small lunch. Definitely not well, and has a very bad cold so not eating very much at all. Daughter is still poorly with this, as is OH.

 Or to Diagnose lolol

My niece has been quite ill with whooping cough recently so I hope it doesn't turn into that, as apparently it starts with a cold. Didn't realise that the vaccine was nothing like 100% either, it is only 65 - 70% effective, and you can still catch whooping cough if you have had it as a child. Niece saw 5 doctors who gave various diagnosis such as a virus, chest infection, asthma, hay fever - yes I kid you not!! And it has cost her almost £50 in prescription charges for items that were no use whatsoever, such as inhalers and antihistamine tablets!  The hospital A & E department got it right first time when she went there in desperation, and after testing it came up positive. It is a notifiable disease, so niece has had a letter from public health,  and her family have all been tested for it and are waiting for the results. The pregnant doctor, who told her it was asthma, has had a letter too, as it can affect the baby. Must say though the doctors in that particular surgery have always given me the best treatment for every illness that I have had. I guess they cannot get it right every time as none of us are infallible.

Hearing more and more rubbish on the news about the Brexit vote. Scotland has decided that they have the power to overturn the OUT vote! Hang on a minute, I don't think they are that powerful to destroy or overturn the majority of the British people's decision! They didn't even want independence from the UK a while back!  Whichever way you voted, it surely can't be right for one area to decide they have this power - I really think they have a cheek to even suggest it! Also why has the Labour party decided that this is the best time to all resign, well I think 12 of them have left today! You know I am wondering if it is because they will have an awful lot of work to do now re-writing laws and negotiating trade deals etc. with the EU. I think it's called deserting the ship (was going to say 'sinking ship' but I don't think this will be the case.) To me, it has highlighted who will soldier on and help in a crisis, and who wanted an easy ride and did a runner. We shall see how it all goes. Hopefully soon, the news will at least be back to normal - well as normal as it ever was lol.
