The mundane and the miraculous

Yet another day of frequent heavy rain showers which stopped me going out anywhere,or doing anything remarkable. This  photo  is of a bunch of flowers given to me yesterday, by one of my friends, which all came from her Basingstoke garden, with a view of my garden behind.     

I took a shocking phone call today from another  friend who told me she is in hospital having had  a rare cardiac incident  SCAD (spontaneous  cardiac  artery dissection) which caused a heart attack. Thank  goodness all her stars were in alignment when it happened:  she was at home, paramedics  came quickly, she  lives near a large cardiac unit and  a top consultant and his team used their skills and expertise to do their best, which saved her life. Surely an example of one of the NHS's  finest hours?
