Hospitalised Blog No 1

Please Note

Still here at Wonford Hospital receiving the mis byt surrounding care fro  utterly (ludicrously!) dedicated staff.

Progress is slow but progressing.

Until things are fully resolved, medically, fbb will attempt snippet blogs, hopefully daily.

No 1 Son visited oday and pronounced that the NHS internet was 7 up and 5 down. So that's all right then. As he left the ward the internet died yet again!

Aaaaargh!

fbb is not sure which is worse; the anguish of dodgy internet or unresolved internal bleeding in yer gastrics.

But, although they haven't found the bleeding problem (Mind you language, fbb), the numbers have gone up from a low of 90 on Friday to 98 today. So that's good news, innit?

And so to today's blog ...

... which was compiled under difficult circumstances

========================

To Hell And Back!

No aspersions are directed at the NHS. Matron would be furious!

So here is the headline.


And a health warning! One of the really weird visions in the Bible book of Bevelation is if the Devil appears as a Beast which is given a Number.
Except that in 2000 years of Christianity nobody has ever worked out "the meaning"! Whatever your personal faith, it always seems crackpot to treat t.he idea of a spiritual force of evil in a jocular manner.

Midland Red had  a route 666 in the Leicester area which seemed to survive!

But the bus runs to a community that has nothing to do with the realm of all evil.

Called "Hel"!

To find out where, you need a map.of Poland.

If we zoom in to Gdansk (once called Danzig in the old money) ...
... there is a strange archipelago or peninsula, at the end of which is Hel.

Lovers of 'Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy will doubtless recognise this as the work of Slatibartfast, whose specialism was the Fijords.
Being Flixbus, three is no timetable to be found. Using the Flixbus web site is unhelpful as "no journeys are currently operating".

One thing is certain, Hel is a far nicer place than Hell -- which really should be avoided.

Here are some pictures of this unusual land form.

And the lumpy end.
And Hel itself.
And a question...

.,.. how easy would it be to get from Seaton to Hel and back?
