Question for Joe, most likely. Iām looking to get myself a decent microphone for my radio; the Heil PR77D looks like it would do me nicely (the purple one of course!). Remembering this is amateur radio, not FM studio standard, what think you? As I do the local radio club news reading Iām definitely looking for something better than the standard hand held push-to-talk jobbie

Laundry has been done, quiches made for Mr Beeās lunches and walkies were taken. It was sheer luxury to not feel sick or sore. Yay! Oh, the Amelanchier was trimmed , this morning.

Thanks, Fishers. Had I had access to decent medical services, I may not have toiled through such rubbish. However, onward and upward!

I was at the pain professor today
I am scheduled for rhizotomy in my neck next week
And a scan of my shoulder to see what is going on with the shattered muscle that is still bruised
I am just grateful to the Bull for his insistence on medical insurance
Here itās a point of pride to carry insurance if you can afford it and a medical card is issued to folk who cannot afford to pay for the insurance
A bit of a hybrid system that leaves nobody untreated though facilities in private clinics and hospitals are not as overwhelmed as the general medical facilities
I am so glad that our wee 
is getting to be more like herself
I also hope that a Chatelaine is able to sleep and awake refreshed and feeling better

I am uncomfortable with this, tbh. My Mother was a District Midwife before our NHS was born, She was hugely proud (and grateful) that, upon its inception, she had no need to hand bills for childbirth over to women who simply couldnāt afford to pay.
I hope that your nerve-numbing procedure is successful, Twellsy. You really do deserve relief.
Good nights, all.

Soo thereās no National Insurance here so the state run Voluntary Health Insurance subsidises the rest of the population
Nobody is untreated or given huge bills
My nerve cauterising is next Friday
Arthuritis of the neck that is made worse by a bad fall aināt fun but I try not to moan like others on this site
