I went to the doctor's yesterday fortunately about nothing serious thsnk goodness.
My previous doctor has moved on so I met my new doctor for the first time.
She is young enough to be my grand-daughter!
Dr Watson (yes that really is her name)seems very efficient but also has a very nice kind manner.
In fact we had a bit of a laugh.
It's very nice when you get someone who is not only professional at their job but has a pleasing personality to go with it.
Gorgeous seems to be having a great time in Malaysia although she seems to be working hard as well.
Not that I would expect anything different because she too is very professional with a lovely personality.
Joke for today:- A single herring can produce over a million offspring. Goodness knows how many a married one can produce.

In 1949 Chinese leader Mao Tse-Tung marched into Peking to make the communists virtual masters of China
In 1905 at least 500 people were killed when Cossack troops fired on a march to the Winter Palace in St Petersburg,Russia

Lovely Weather
We are having some lovely weather this week.
Sure the nights are cold and there is quite a sharp frost in the mornings but it just makes the air nice and crisp.
The rest of the days have been lovely and sunny. It is almost as if spring is here.
A bit different for Gorgeous who is in Malaysia on business where the temp is over 30 degrees C.
Actually i think the bulbs are a bit confused as they are quite advanced for the time of year.
I'm being a typical Englishman here by talking about the weather.
It isn't surprising really that we are renowned for this as we do have quite a lot of rapid changes in the weather albeit normally not too severe when compared with other places.
Let's have a joke:- An expectant father rings the hospital to see how his wife is getting on. Unfortunately he is connected to a cricket match commentary box. "How's it going" asks the man."Great" is the reply "We've got four out and hope to have the rest out before tea. The last one was a duck"
On this day:- 21st January
The following were born on this day:-
In 1824 "Stonewall" Jackson
In 1905 Christian Dior
In 1925 Telly Savalas
In 1940 Jack Niklaus
and in 1941 Placido Domingo

The Trip to Malaysia
Gorgeous has arrived for her business trip in Malaysia.
She certainly seems to be enjoying herself. Very positive about both Malaysia and her job.
Mind you I was surprised when I looked up the telephone books I have and there was no mention of international dialling codes. Plenty of adverts!
I had to ring directory enquiries. First number I rang they couldn't help me and I was directed to another number.
Oh wasn't life far less complicated in my youth. You could get information without being persuaded to part with your hard earned cash in other areas.
It's a bit like mobile phones. All I want a phone for is to ring people if I need to contact them.
No I don't need to know what the temperature will be in Western Australia tomorrow or to play some childish game!
Enough of my rant.
Let's have a joke:- A doctor tells a woman she musn't touch anything alcoholic.So she gets a divorce.
On this day:- January 20th
In 1936 King George V died.Edward VIII becomes king.
In 1896 George Burns was born and in 1930 Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin followed him

The Silent Witness
I saw the second part of Silent Witness last night which I thoroughly enjoyed.
This programme has been running for some time now and I thought was getting a little stale.
However I am delighted that the new series seems to be the best ever.
Really good with excellent story lines and nice little twists at the end.
Yesterday I had a phone call from the agents looking after my property at Sunderland.
The boiler has gone wrong and really needs to be replaced at a price of £850. Ouch!
I'm a little annoyed since the current boiler was supposed to be new back in 2006 but I think the then agents put in a second hand boiler.
Never mind it's only money.
Techno put in a new blog for me last night.
It's called John Beaumont-Online Business Thoughts.
This is a blog which showcases some of the many online articles which I have previously published.
Feel free to visit if interested.
I've now heard from Gorgeous that she has arrived in Malaysia ok.
She seems to have had quite a good journey but is obviously very tired.
I will catch up with her later.
Joke for today:- Did you hear about the farmer who won an award? He was outstanding in the field.
On this day:- 19th January
In 1736 James Watt of steam engine fame was born and in 1807 Robert E Lee entered the world followed in 1809 by Edgar Allan Poe

In the doctors surgery
I went for a check up this morning and whilst waiting to see the nurse I was musing about the new signing in system.
It is now automatic with a touch screen.
Certainly it speeds things up but I got to thinking how many hands had touched that screen.
Ugh! Here we have sick people coming into a room and all touching the same place.
I wonder how much bactria is being spread around. Doesn't bear thinking about!!
Gorgeous is going off on her business trip to Malaysia this afternoon.
Our washing machine is playing up so we will have to get someone in to look at it.
Still can't grumble as we have had it sometime and it has never given us trouble before.
Joke for today:- Ladies go for younger men. You might as well since they never mature anyway.
On this day:- 18th January
In 1943 Russian forces broke the siege of Leningrad.
In 1778 James Cook discovered Hawaii

CSI New York
I was very disappointed in the latest episode of CSI New York.
For a start the story was unbelieveable. Adam just happens to see a girl being murdered on the internet which just happens to be in new York"
However what really did surprise me, and also Techno who was watching with me, was the fight scene on the top of the Crime Lab building.
The stunt man filling in for Adam looked nothing like him and was so obviously a different person that Techno and I both laughed.
Come on CSI New York with the all the modern equipment you have at your disposal that scene shouldn't have been so amateurish.
The other laugh we had was that the first rescuers to arrive had been some streets away. Where was all the help which should have been available from the people in the building?
They were on top of the crime lab for heaven's sake!
Gorgeous is getting ready for her business trip to Malaysia. This is her first trip so she is a little bit nervous but she will cope fine.
Joke for today:- My friend died in a bowl of muesli. A strong currant pulled him in.
On this day. 17th January
In 1977 Gary Gilmore was executed by shooting in Provo Utah.He was found guilty of murdering two students at Brigham Young University.
In 1942 (good year!) Muhammad Ali was born

Susannah York
Oh dear one of my favourite actresses has just died.
I always thought that Susannah York had one of the most prettiest of faces and a nice husky voice.
However perhaps the nicest thing said about her was from her son who praised her as a mother not an actress.
What with Jean Simmons also dying recently I am beginning to show my age! (21)
Gorgeous is getting ready for her business trip to Malaysia although her sciatica has flared up again.
I hope it won't give her problems on her trip.
Joke for today:-Mothers of teenagers know why some animals eat their young.
