Makes you wonder what Russian citizens are fed about the Western world . My daughter in law , in the Netherlands , is an administrator in the Dutch office of a multi-national software company. They had an office in Moscow but because of the invasion it was closed down but the company offered jobs to staff who could relocate out of Russia. Three women and their families decided to relocate to Holland and it seems to have fallen on my daughter in law to find accommodation for them . One of the other Dutch office workers happened to have a vacant property

Town Lock was drained of water in February this year to allow new lock gates to be fitted, canal and rivers trust fitted a viewing platform in the bottom of the lock and a stair case to allow access, probably never see this again in my lifetime

When they invaded Ukraine, there were reports of Russian soldiers stealing toilets and washing machines - even though many of them wouldn’t have had indoor plumbing back home.

About trusting and believing people…. I tend to believe what people tell me (unless I’ve a very good reason not to) and always give people the benefit of the doubt. I don’t see this as being naive ….. I meet many people who need someone to listen - really listen - to them. I suppose I always try to look for the good in people (and usually find it) This was my mum’s attitude so maybe that’s why I think this way?

I certainly wouldn't have trusted any of them as far as I could throw them! Which, in most cases, wasn't very far!

Physio this morning. The lovely Sophie tells me that I'm making good progress. She measured my knee bend at 130 degrees, told me that is excellent and said it's probably as good as it will get. However, on the 'tight IT band', she did a couple of tests and reckoned it's a result of me walking badly for years before the op. The solution it seems is even more exercises. The band on my other leg is seemingly normal so I should expect less trouble if I have surgery on that. Which is nice...

Also on the same day the Largest inland dry dock in Britain was also drained to allow visitors a unique view of the inside This is the view looking toward the dry dock lock gate keeping the Trent at bay Rog
