today was the opening of the new Victoria Hospital and guess what not an A&E in sight! Let’s hope it is cleaner than the old one and they keep it hygienised rather than going in to see friends who are patients and seeing blood on the floor, filth, dustballs, dirt and more. Of course the blame is on the outsourced cleaners what happened to the day when it was run by the hospitals themselves with more control and sisters. The plan is to treat 400,000 thousand day patients per annum with 150 routine day surgery procedures to be carried out. there is also a chemotherapy and kidney dialysis place much needed as so many go to the Royal in town. It looks lovely new and shiny.
The old hospital was founded in 1890 by Ebenezer Duncan as a voluntary hospital and joined the NHS in 1948 and at one time was a leading teaching hospital.

Weather today in glasgow – lovely sunny with an icy wind – just right for the summer keeps one from getting too hot.
Garden in glasgow – pPlanted cucumbers outside and replanted the lemon balm and feverfew as they had grown so large. Made up more hanging baskets for sale. sold 10 bay leaf trees only one year old during the weekend and 10 mint plants for mint tea. Also replanted the white round turnip and artichoke plants outside. The spinach has done well this year and we picked our first crop today – there is nothing like your own home grown spinach such a different taste.
some world news
Read today that boys who carry a variant of a gene called monoamine oxidase A tend to be violent and to join gangs. but the same gene in women does not give the same effect. Males who have one X-chromosome and one Y-chromosome, possess only one copy of this gene, while females, who have two X-chromosomes, carry two. Thus, if a male has an allele [variant] for the MAOA gene that is linked to violence, there isn’t another copy to counteract it. Females, in contrast, have two copies, so even if they have one risk allele, they have another that could compensate for it. the study was made byFlorida State University’s College of Criminology and Criminal Justice.
yeah eco-friendly buildings could be built soon – all from a 2,000 year old technique invented by the Chinese and parts of the the Great Wall of china and the Alhambra palace are built from it. What is it you are asking well it is a mixture of sand, gravel and clay with the right amount of water and is called Rammed Earth. The amount of water used can make the building very strong so is currently being investigated. Wait with abated breath for eco buildings which are strong.
