When you watch something and think to your self 'I am sure I have seen this' it is a case of Deja Vu I had this when I was watching 'FULL HOUSE' on Forces TV the other day, part of the show I thought I had seen before. I had, it was an episode of 'GEORGE AND THE DRAGON'. Both episodes were written by Vince Powell. Clips of both series are courtesy of the following FULL HOUSE, Thames Television / Fremantle episode written by Vince Powell currently showing on Forces TV GEORGE AND THE DRAGON, ATV Network / ITV Studios episode written by Vince Powell out on DVD via Network  Don't forget my radio shows, which you can listen again via www.philengland.com/catch-up Saturday Breakfast - 7am til 10am via www.moorlandsgold.co.uk In The Groove, Sunday - 9pm til 10pm via www.broradio.fm Check me out on the socials: www.philengland.com/socials has the full links www.facebook.com/philengland www.twitter.com/philengland1 Skype @philengland1 Instagram @england_phil Special p

I had two appointments today. The first one this morning, in Singleton Hospital, with Dr Nash (Rheumatology). He just wanted to touch base in person. He poked and prodded a bit to see where and if I was tender in places. He did find a few areas, still feeling where he located them even after 5 hours passing from the appointment. The second was a virtual one, a video call with physiotherapy at Morriston. They say I'm doing ok with the exercises I was given, keep doing them, but if I get in too much pain don't keep going, just stop. If the pain keeps about for over half hour after then I have done too much. I also have to remember to stop beating my self up over things that I have no control over. Things will improve, just have to give things time. With having Ankylosing Spondylitis and Osteoarthritis, coupled with a slight heart condition and also fibromyalgia (specialist today in Singleton said it seems it is a sure thing that I have that due to being lethargic, run down, pain

 So another really bad, bad health day. Woke up hardly able to move, in total agony 😔. From my neck right down to my knees, and feeling very sick with it. It' just as well I have an empty bucket close to the bed along with a flask of water. Really hate getting days like this, seem to be getting them at least once every two weeks. When I am not this bad I still get some days when I am unable to get downstairs, so am really a prisoner in my flat, unable to get out side in to the fresh air. It really is doing my head in when I am stuck in. If I was in a bungalow or a downstairs flat, at least I would stand a fighting chance of getting out side. I was sent some exercises to do from physio at Morriston Hospital, done some, but not all yet. I find it is best to do them on my pine wooden chair as it don't move when I am trying to move. I have got another virtual video call coming up on 5th August in the afternoon, but before that an appointment at Singleton Hospital. I have spoken to

Disabled people have been routinely forgotten during the pandemic, and are still some of the hardest hit.  New Scope research shows only 2 per cent of disabled people feel safe about the lifting of restrictions today, on what’s being dubbed "Freedom Day". It’s not right that some disabled people are yet again being left behind by Government. The Government needs to make sure that the most at-risk disabled people can get the support they need to stay safe. To the disabled people, the shielders, the should-have-been-shielders, the parents, the carers and families.  We’re still with you.   💻  You can get support on a range of issues on https://www.scope.org.uk/coronavirus-information/ ☎️  You can speak to our helpline advisers by calling 0808 800 3333.

But there has never been a more important time for disabled people and allies to

A friend of mine posted this on her Facebook page yesterday after seeing a chap walking his dog in the heat of the day on a beach in Swansea. Just a reminder, PLEASE DO NOT walk your dog in the heat of the day, the ground, be it pavement or sand, can be extremely hot and can burn the paws of your dog.  It can take as little as 15 minutes for a dog to die of heat stroke.  Dogs do not have sweat glands, so the only way to regulate their body temperature is to be in the cool, and panting. Tarmac radiates heat as quickly as it absorbs it. For example, if it’s 20° air temperature, then the tarmac can be 35°.  Too hot for a human to walk on, so too hot for a dog to walk on.  This will cause blistering and burns to their paws. Meaning expensive vet bills, and not to mention excruciating pain for the dog. In my mind anyone who walks their dogs in this heat has no right to own a dog as it is obvious they do not care for it in the least. If you see anyone with a dog out walking have
