My friend Rosemary mentioned Ethel the emu today saying that she had escaped for a second time. I did a quick google search and am happy to report that a daily newspaper sent out a search party and then with the help of a horse box owner managed to coax her into it. She is now living with a lovely family who have several other strange pets and is very happy there. So thanks to The Mail from all nannyjune’s readers.
Berlin police say that three crashes caused by the same vehicle at different locations on a motorway were deliberate acts and probably an Islamic extremist attack. The driver later pulled over and placed a box on the roof of his vehicle and said that it contained a bomb. He then knelt on a prayer mat and started praying. A police officer of Arabic background spoke to him and managed to detain him. He is being investigated for attempted murder. It seems he suffers from psychological problems. Tell that to the people involved on the motorway.
In Russia and following an operation to remove an intestinal blockage an 81 year old grandmother was declared dead by a doctor and an anaesthetist and transferred to the morgue. Eight hours later a female employee was shocked to find the pensioner on the floor and that she had obviously come back to life. An ambulance driver overheard the commotion as the poor morgue worker said ‘grandma lie down, granny be quiet’ as the old lady tried to grab the worker’s hand. The paramedic covered her with blankets and she was returned to the hospital. It seems she had been declared dead after just 1 hour and 20 minutes instead of 2 hours. The grannie’s niece said she was glad her aunt was alive but that they will sue the hospital.
In another city in the Philippines a nurse was rushing off to work as she was running late. But, she stopped when she heard a cry for help and went to see where it came from. She found a pregnant woman about to give birth and stayed to deliver the baby. There was a video of the baby boy being born. The mother didn’t seem to make a sound as it all happened and the nurse asked some officials to take her and the baby to hospital. I felt quite sad when I found out that she was homeless. I was in the Philippines once and there were a lot of homeless women with small children living in very bad conditions and scavenging in the bins at night hoping to find food. I don’t foresee a good future for this mother and baby.
These stories remind me of a notice put up the the labour ward of a hospital. It was a reminder to all the staff there and said ‘Please remember the first few minutes of life are the most dangerous’. Someone scribbled underneath ‘the last few are pretty dodgy too’. Good night everyone. 😴💤😴
