Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:31:53 +0000
Pat's Note:

The Soil Association are far too keen to keep in with a corrupt Defra.
They should be running them into the ground. The membership are
entitled to much stronger unequivocal words on their behalf. You can't
do much sitting on committees with wo ...

I went into hospital for what was really two operations on Tuesday
last and came home yesterday morning. The operations were longer than
planned - 5 and a half hours, but so far, it looks good, very good.

interest in the damage being caused by the wild, greedy and
irresponsible use of antibiotics in farming by a discredited

Hepatitis C from pigs to people especially vets
Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:30:31 +0000
Pat's Note: Phew!
The Veterinary industry is a dead end in more ways than one.
"Research to antibodies in veterinarians and a representative number
of members of the public showed that among the vets working

field drainage
Sun, 15 Nov 2009 11:48:01 -0000
