    Woman, 75, loses her dream Spanish home after 13-year legal battle over a wall built by her neighbour – whose family now OWN her $465,000 property

    British woman, 75, loses her dream Spanish home after 13-year legal battle over a wall

    Margaret Townley, 75, (bottom right) claims she has been the victim of a miscarriage of justice after being forced to walk away from the house (pictured) on which she has spent more than €300,000 (£257,347). The retired social worker, from Bath, has handed the keys to her neighbour after a vicious 13-year legal battle. She said she believes corruption and fraud has caused the loss of her retirement home in Salobrena, Granada. Her nightmare began after she got into a legal battle with her builder neighbour over a dodgy collapsed boundary wall, which led to a judge ordering the house to be sold at a closed auction.

    Never-seen-before photographs of Winston Churchill in his 40s expected to reach £4,000 at

    Winston Churchill (top and bottom left) visited the Middle East on a diplomatic mission in 1921 after being appointed Secretary of State for the Colonies. He attended the Cairo Conference in Egypt alongside T.E. Lawrence (right, with writer Gertrude Bell) – the hero of the Arab Revolt in the First World War. The images, which were taken by Captain Maxwell Coote who was Churchill’s aide-de-camp at the conference, are being sold a century later by his descendants with London-based Forum Auctions who expect the archive to fetch £4,000.

    An Aldi shopper has captured the horrifying moment a gigantic rat begins to climb a supermarket shelf as oblivious customers continue to shop nearby. The stomach-churning video has since gone viral after it was uploaded to TikTok by a woman named Caity, boasting more than two million views.

    Remember this movie many moons ago?

    Missing gingham dress worn by Judy Garland in Wizard of Oz is discovered at Washington, DC university 50 years later

    Missing gingham dress worn by Judy Garland in Wizard of Oz is discovered at Washington DC

    A staff member at Catholic University of America found a long-lost staple of Hollywood history in the school’s drama department building: the iconic blue-and-white checked gingham dress Judy Garland wore as Dorothy Gale in the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. For nearly 50 years, staff and students at the Washington, D.C. university have been searching for the famed dress, which was gifted to the school’s drama department in 1973 and went missing shortly after.

    The Government-commissioned review is expected to include proposals to expand the current sugar tax on sweet drinks and bring in a new salt tax on high-sodium foods

    Yummy there are still some nice things in life!  LOL

    But with limitations.

    Many thanks to you all for replying to my emails on this Thread.

    I cannot disagree with your comments!

    I have been reading all of your emails, no matter how long it takes me, but this week I am getting quicker!

    When I came out of hospital I could not put a word together, but my husband has been sitting by my side and makes me sound out each letter which has been frustrating but helpful!

    The speech therapist has problems of her own so didn’t come yesterday, this afternoon I go and have more testing for my brain  [what’s left of it!] and my eyes, I was having this done on Thursday but ran out of time.

    I hoped that some other stroke victims would come and join into this Thread and share their experiences? 

    I am still hoping!

    My friends are emailing me and although it takes an age to read the emails, I plough on, but what is so very strange is the ability to type and write long hand.  But it is very difficult to edit my own writing here on the site.  I hope with new lens in my glasses I may improve.

    Now to check lunch, having this problem has not stopped me cooking, washing and ironing!

    I very much hope to hear from you all so I can keep reading from you as I look forward to hearing about people and their experiences.

    Have a great day.

    love

    Looking and trying to read the Daily Mail this morning, one cannot help notice that nobody was wearing a Mask if Australia had the vaccines months ago like England had we would probably not be infected now either.

    Talk about being let down by our Politicians in the EASTERN STATES!

    Woman’s death in Perth hospital ‘likely’ linked to AstraZeneca vaccine, TGA finds

    Angie RaphaelNCA NewsWire

    The Therapeutic Goods Administration has confirmed the death of a 61-year-old woman at a Perth hospital last month was likely linked to the AstraZeneca vaccine.

    She received the vaccine in early June and was admitted to hospital later that month.

    An external vaccine safety investigation group of experts determined the vaccination was the likely cause due to a lack of evidence for other causes and the time frame of her getting the jab.

     

    “While the woman had experienced a recent viral illness that could have theoretically caused immune thrombocytopenia, the panel felt that the unusual severity of the event suggested that vaccination was a more likely cause,” they said.

    ITP is a rare bleeding disorder that occurs when the immune system mistakenly destroys platelets, which help blood to clot.

    The link between ITP and the vaccine is still under investigation, but research suggests the risk is about one case per 100,000 AstraZeneca doses.

    As of July 4, the TGA has received 36 reports of suspected ITP.

    “The TGA continues to investigate this issue and we will report more information when it is known,” they said.

    About five million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine have been administered in Australia.

    Well I am having a Speech Pathologist come to the house on saturday morning of all days, then today I have been to the Ophthalmologist and have to go back to see him on Sunday!   I seem to have some odd days for my appointments but they are all flat out seeing people so they have made my appoints at the weekends.

    So I shall see what comes out of these appointments;  part of the appointment for the Ophthalmologist was this morning, that was interesting!  

    Wish WA had got its Covid vaccines sorted by this late date.

    I have been to the Library and selected two large print books to practice with.

    I was amazed at the selection they had, my choice was  “The Lady Travelers guide to Scoundrels and other Gentlemen”    and the second was a book I have in our own Library at home by Phillippa Gregory ‘The Red Queen’.

    Well I want a bit of a laugh in my old age!  LOL

    By the way is there anyone else that has had a stroke that would like to chat??

    Yes it is a big change for my family and myself, from reading and writing a fair amount to being able to type and write long hand,    (with some errors)  depending, (I have found) how much rest I have given myself.   It is a balance, I need rest but I also need to keep trying to read.   

    Typing is fine for about fifteen minutes then I need to rest, so I type to my family and friends short emails, I had to explain that I would appreciate small emails in return, so I can keep my eye on the detail and try to keep up the reading.  Reading is not what it used to be, I had to start by sounding out each letter.

    My husband sits by my side and listens to what I try to read!

    It has become easier this week, to start with I was lost in letters! 

    (just had a phone call from my younger son in Sydney as I am typing and I cannot finish typing what I was writing due to memory loss with the sentence so I shall have to stop here!)

    Have a good day everyone and be safe.

    Coming up now to seven weeks ago I had a stroke, because of that my Doctors said I am not to have the injection called AstraZenica, but that is all their  is in Western Australia.   Our Premier has no control over this only the Federal Government has.

    The Federal Government is saying that Western Australia must have the ASTRAZenica!

    So what happens to people like me that are falling through the floor boards?

    There are a few of us.

    How can a Christian man just turn a blind eye to people with serious medical conditions?

    Yes I have written to the PM a few days ago and gave my Doctors phone number, but I have not heard back.

    Watching the news on the TV tonight leaves me speechless I bet a lot of doctors are speechless too.

    So what is the point of continuing medication when I am going to have the wrong injection?

    This is no crazy woman writing, this is a very serious situation and the PM is not taking things seriously.

    [please excuse the errors in my email I am not asking husband for help here!]
