Bright morning, after the mist and drizzle of the early hours cleared. Temperature has inched up to 11C, so we're having a pretty mild day.
Couple of items in the news today, which caught my eye. A haemophiliac patient has died suffering from variant-Creutzfeldt-Jacobs Disease (the human version of mad-cow disease), although he did not have any symptoms. He was the first case to emerge as a result of being given contaminated blood products.
There is a continuing row in the Western Isles about the closure of schools and the role of councillors. A local website carries calls for resignations of some of them - the closure plans were torpedoed by the Scottish Government as being incompetent.
Just as I close this post, the sun has come out.
A doctor I worked with when I was very young was first said to have dementia(long after I worked with him) and then it was determined to be mad cow disease. His life was so alien & threatening to him for so long, not knowing what it was. I am sorry for this man's passing, but he was better off without the symptoms. ~Mary
