Ah! Sunflower, weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the sun,
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the traveller’s journey is done;
Where the youth pined away with desire
And the pale virgin shrouded in snow,
Arise from their graves, and aspire
Where my sunflower wishes to go!
William Blake, 1794

Tanat Valley MX09 YMV, an Optare Versa, passes the Robert Hunt and Agnes Jones Orthopaedic Hospital, Oswestry, as it operates route 449.
Here we find this VDL SB200, Wright Pulsar 2 in it's first summer in service at Oswestry in 2014, a batch of seven new to upgrade the Oswestry to Wrexham services in the February.
One duty that existed at the time was a bus that came off the 2C Wrexham to Cefn Mawr would return to Oswestry to operate the 18:00 53 to Ellesmere and return and thus use the bus that had been booked on the 2/2A/2C all day. We find it here passing the Orthopaedic Hospital near Gobowen, catching the post 19:00 evening sunshine on the last working of the day. The driver on this occasion is seemingly trying to hide their face from the camera.

Am Endpunkt der Franz-Joseph-Promenade in Lovran am Hafen angekommen (etwa bei km 9,7 ab dem Hafen Volosko) ließ ich den Blick zurück wandern um zu sehen, woher wir kamen. Jetzt erst sah ich, wie dominant das Gebäude der orthopädischen Klinik die Küste von Lovran optisch beherrscht. Das Gebäude wurde zwischen 1907 und 1912 als Grand Hotel Lovrana erbaut. Es diente bis 1935 als Luxushotel für betuchte Gäste, die nach Lovran zur Kur kamen. Seit 1935 dient das Gebäude als orthopädische Klinik, womit der Gesundheitsaspekt seiner Gäste womöglich noch stärker betont wird als zuvor. Wir jedenfalls waren noch so gut bei Fuß, um anschließend in die Altstadt von Lovran zu spazieren und in einem ausgesucht guten Restaurant ein herrliches Abendessen mit frisch zubereitetem Fisch und wohl schmeckendem weissen Malvasier-Wein zu geniessen.
Arriving at the end point of the Franz-Joseph-Promenade in Lovran at the harbour (at around km 9.7 from Volosko harbour), I looked back to see where we had come from. Only now did I realise how dominant the orthopaedic clinic building visually dominates the Lovran coastline. The building was built between 1907 and 1912 as the Grand Hotel Lovrana. Until 1935, it served as a luxury hotel for wealthy guests who came to Lovran for a cure. Since 1935, the building has served as an orthopaedic clinic, perhaps emphasising the health aspect of its guests even more than before. In any case, we were still in good enough shape to stroll into the old town centre of Lovran afterwards and enjoy a delicious dinner of freshly prepared fish and delicious white Malvasia wine in an excellent restaurant.

I took this shot on my way to my father's funeral.
Lake Macquarie, between Sydney and Newcastle, Australia. Where my father taught me to sail, seemingly countless years ago.
Dad loved the water, he loved Lake Macquarie, he loved life and he put more into it than most.
Dad had a profound influence on my life, as well as on the lives of tens of thousands of people who benefited from his orthopaedic surgery, in many cases with pioneering surgical proceedures - and from his teaching as a surgical professor - throughout the world, in particular (apart from Australia) in the US, UK, Indonesia, and the Pacific.
And many, many more - literally millions - who benefited from his broader community role and the public responsibility that he decided to take on and to execute to its fullest.
That's because even greater than his influence in surgery, was his influence in avoiding surgery - such as Dad's world leadership in causing the legal requirement for the wearing of seat belts in motor vehicles - an initiative that changed the safety attributes and the safety requirements of cars worldwide, and saved countless lives.
Dad was 88 when he died and he had fully earned his promotion.
But he never quite got around to retiring because his view of his place in society was that he was on earth to serve others, and to never cease serving others - whether in surgery, or in his later years in professorial roles, or any of the numerous non-medical fields such as the Boy Scout movement, handicapped children, or sporting organisations and service groups. If he was "too old" for hospitals, he was never too old for for teaching or for universities, or for his global community.
His personal ethos is found within the closing stanza of one of his favourite Australian poems:
"Question not, but live and labour
'Til yon goal be won,
Helping every feeble neighbour,
Seeking help from none;
Life is mostly froth and bubble,
Two things stand like stone,
Kindness in another's trouble,
Courage in your own."
- Adam Lindsay Gordon - "Ye Weary Wayfarer"
Against that background, I paused on my journey at this very spot and took a few shots with a heavily loaded mind. And I envisioned Dad driving Saint Peter crazy as he recited "A wonderful bird is the pelican, ........".

What a perfect challenge for the day I came home from hospital with just one photo in my camera.
This is a rather bizarre glass case display in the lounge room of the orthopaedic ward I have just left.

June 2012, Kabul, Afghanistan.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is an impartial, neutral and independent organization whose exclusively humanitarian mission is to protect the lives and dignity of victims of armed conflict and other situations of violence and to provide them with assistance. The ICRC also endeavours to prevent suffering by promoting and strengthening humanitarian law and universal humanitarian principles. The ICRC is at the origin of the Geneva Conventions and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. It directs and coordinates the international activities conducted by the Movement in armed conflicts and other situations of violence.
THE ICRC has been permanently present in Afghanistan since 1987, and the orthopaedic programme was one of its first activities. The ICRC orthopaedic center opened in Kabul in 1988. More than 90,000 Afghan disabled have been assisted through it. Those are combatants and civilians caught up in fighting, hurt during bombardments, or struck by landmines. At present the ICRC directly manages six orthopaedic center in Afghanistan and supports four non-ICRC prosthetic workshops.
Of close to 200 employees running Kabul orthopaedic center, including a large hospital and workshops producing prostheses and wheelchairs, all are disabled themselves. The whole center is effectively run by people who had been affected by warfare, loosing limbs, but not losing their spirit.
Some of ICRC workers and patients have, under the leadership of Alberto Cairo, legendary head of the center, started a wheelchair basketball team, and practice almost every day after office hours. In June 2012 first wheelchair basketball tournament took place in Afghanistan. Kabul team did not win although they gave a tough fight.
It’s been a moving experience to see them practising and playing, an experience that cannot be forgotten.

Story -
Staff at the Emergency Department of Mossend Hospital were put on alert to stand by for multiple trauma patients following a serious Road Traffic Collision (RTC). The motorway smash involving a minibus, HGV and car saw SAS Ambulance crews racing several patients to Hospital medics who waited outside for their arrival. NHS Lanarkside bosses made social media appeals to only attend A&E or dial 999 only for critical emergencies and suggested contacting NHS24 or attending Minor Injury Units (MIU). Sergeant Jock McCulloch of Strathclyde Roads Policing team said: “This collision happened at a busy time of day and resulted in the closure of the motorway for several hours to allow a full collision investigation to take place. We are appealing for anyone with information to come forward. If you were driving in the area at the time and have dash cam footage, please contact Police on 101.”
A spokesperson from the Scottish Ambulance Service said: “At 1528hours today, Ambulance Control staff received multiple 999 calls regarding a serious RTC. A number of Ambulance resources were dispatched including Paramedic Response cars, Trauma Team and our Special Operations Response Team (SORT). Several patients were transported by road to nearby Hospitals.”
Witnesses claim to have seen and heard a male driver being breathalysed and told he had failed and was under arrest. Police sources refused to comment other than stating “Should criminality be established, a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal (PF).”

I found a new seller on that well known auction site and they make 3D printed figures in a variety of scales. I also took delivery of Vallejo paint - “basic skin tone”. All of my figures who required it have now been repainted into much more natural complexions than their previous pink. I’ve taken these pictures to display two new additions, both Doctors, one figure is a Surgeon (traditionally titled “Mr, Mrs, Ms” rather than Dr in Britain) wearing dark blue scrubs, a surgical face mask and hair cover and holding a clipboard. The second Doctor also holds a clipboard and wears blue scrubs, but also wears a white lab coat. Also featured in this shoot is my 1:76 scale model of a Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS) Paramedic Response Unit (PRU). This model has previously been featured in my pictures, however with an incorrect Battenberg marking set. The Nissan 4x4 shown, which stands in for Hyundai and previously Honda 4x4 vehicles used by the real SAS, now has the correct larger Battenburg markings along with yellow reflective markings around the door pillars.

Perhaps this is not the kind of photographs one expects to see when he or she searches for photos from Afghanistan. We look for the kind of war we’ve been told about, the so-called “European War” where one side is ultimately good and the other – utterly evil. The kind of war shown in Western movies.
Polish Canal Plus just starts our (in the meaning of Poland) first ever, longer tv material about Afghanistan. It is called Mission Afganistan, it’s a TV series (non-documentary) and.. it shows Polish soldiers and their daily problems of life and war in the country.
The Afghan nation, yet again, is treated as a speechless entity, a crowd disallowed to say something, to voice their opinions, perspectives and needs. Poland was treated just the same way till 1989 and it amazes me that we needed only two decades to treat others just the same way. I am sincerely sorry and I am ashamed for this.
After six years of military engagement of Poland in Afghanistan, we are going to see… brave Polish soldiers at war. They are given enough voice. The whole Afghan nation is treated marginally. Not even as a background in the movie, because it was filmed - in Poland.
Over last few years I have tried to document and show what I saw as a daily life in Afghanistan. It’s beautiful inhabitants, their happiness and sorrow. I made many mistakes on the way but I always tried my best.
I’m bringing pictures of an orthopaedic center in Kabul to show what Mission Afghanistan really should be about.
International Committee of Red Cross assists and puts back on artificial legs and arms those that were deprived of their limbs by a bullet to spine from a U.S., British, Polish, Taliban, Mujaheddin or Soviet rifle, that lost their limbs in IED explosions, in bombardments, in war, while going to a wedding, taking a flock of sheep to grazing land or at home, while sleeping, praying, eating.
ICRC helps through a lens of neutrality, impartiality and with a focus on respecting human dignity. Since two decades they assisted hundreds of thousands of Afghan amputees, people that were made physically impaired just because someone decided to wage a war in their neighbourhood.
These are my heroes, who fight with troubles and problems on daily basis. These are the heroes of Afghanistan, not international soldiers. They commit acts of bravery.
Heroism is not about bravery, it is just about something else.
I had a chance to watch ICRC at work in their largest orthopaedic center in Kabul. Of 200 workers in it, including in hospital, workshop, management etc., almost each and every one is an amputee.
ICRC managed to create a unique place for those that work there and those receiving assistance. A place one of a kind many call their second home.

University of Maryland Rehabilitation & Orthopaedic Institute is a rehabilitation hospital located along the border of the Forest Park neighborhood of northwest Baltimore City and Woodlawn in Maryland. It lies on and is incorporated into the historic hospital building and grounds of the former James Lawrence Kernan Hospital. The hospital is now part of the University of Maryland Medical System, on the campus of the University of Maryland at Baltimore.
History
The James Lawrence Kernan Hospital was built between 1860 and 1867 as Radnor Park, a two-story, five-bay, Victorian mansion. In the first decades of the 20th century, alterations were carried out to the original house which made the house over into a combination of the Greek Revival and Colonial Revival styles. The additional surrounding 1920s-era hospital structures were built in a style that blends well with the old historic mansion and its grounds.
James Lawrence Kernan (1838–1912), was a theater manager and philanthropist of the late Victorian and early Edwardian eras in Baltimore. He had the landmark Kernan Hotel (later renamed the Congress Hotel) on West Franklin Street. The "rathskeller" in the basement of the hotel (later also known as the "marble bar") was the site of the first "jazz band" music in the town when it opened in 1903.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places maintained by the National Park Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior in 1979
Notable patients
CBS television news reporter/correspondent Kimberly Dozier, following her injuries from an improvised explosive device in the Iraq War in 2006, spent time at Kernan recovering.
Several former Baltimore Colts football players, including quarterback Johnny Unitas, were recipients of physical therapy at Kernan Hospital.

Aid from the UK is supporting the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to run a network of seven orthopaedic centres across Afghanistan to assist those affected by mobility disabilities, including hundreds of mine victims. The UK is to help provide 3,800 new artificial limbs and 10,000 crutches for Afghan children and adults disabled during 30 years of conflict and extreme poverty.

ICRC managed to create a unique place for those that work there and those receiving assistance. A place one of a kind many call their second home.
Orthopaedic bed: a bed in an orthopedic ward; normally one individually designed to relieve specific skeletal symptoms; more generally, a bed with a very firm matt.
The bed parts seems very appropriate for plants.

In a room where countless Afghans have learned how to walk back again.
ICRC orthopaedic center, Kabul, Afghanistan, June 2012.
Perhaps this is not the kind of photographs one expects to see when he or she searches for photos from Afghanistan. We look for the kind of war we’ve been told about, the so-called “European War” where one side is ultimately good and the other – utterly evil. The kind of war shown in Western movies.
Polish Canal Plus just starts our (in the meaning of Poland) first ever, longer tv material about Afghanistan. It is called Mission Afganistan, it’s a TV series (non-documentary) and.. it shows Polish soldiers and their daily problems of life and war in the country.
The Afghan nation, yet again, is treated as a speechless entity, a crowd disallowed to say something, to voice their opinions, perspectives and needs. Poland was treated just the same way till 1989 and it amazes me that we needed only two decades to treat others just the same way. I am sincerely sorry and I am ashamed for this.
After six years of military engagement of Poland in Afghanistan, we are going to see… brave Polish soldiers at war. They are given enough voice. The whole Afghan nation is treated marginally. Not even as a background in the movie, because it was filmed - in Poland.
Over last few years I have tried to document and show what I saw as a daily life in Afghanistan. It’s beautiful inhabitants, their happiness and sorrow. I made many mistakes on the way but I always tried my best.
I’m bringing pictures of an orthopaedic center in Kabul to show what Mission Afghanistan really should be about.
International Committee of Red Cross assists and puts back on artificial legs and arms those that were deprived of their limbs by a bullet to spine from a U.S., British, Polish, Taliban, Mujaheddin or Soviet rifle, that lost their limbs in IED explosions, in bombardments, in war, while going to a wedding, taking a flock of sheep to grazing land or at home, while sleeping, praying, eating.
ICRC helps through a lens of neutrality, impartiality and with a focus on respecting human dignity. Since two decades they assisted hundreds of thousands of Afghan amputees, people that were made physically impaired just because someone decided to wage a war in their neighbourhood.
These are my heroes, who fight with troubles and problems on daily basis. These are the heroes of Afghanistan, not international soldiers. They commit acts of bravery.
Heroism is not about bravery, it is just about something else.

The Victoria Memorial Eye and Ear Hospital was established in 1906, and named in honor of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee in 1897. This red-and-yellow brick colonial building is in the Indo-Saracenic style and it was designed by Colombo based architect Edward Skinner.
In 1864, with demand for health services growing, the Colonial Government sought to move its Prince Street hospital to a location with space aplenty. The re-location choice was a 32-acre kurunduwatte (cinnamon land) in the ‘countryside’ of Longdon Place, away from the residential areas of Mutwal and Mattakkuliya.
It is during Governor Henry Ward’s period (1855-1860) that plans had been drawn up and £ 3,000, a princely sum at that time, earmarked for the hospital complex.
What did the area look like? Here is a description of the location of the General Hospital by Dr. Andreas Nell who was born the year that the hospital was opened.
“The General Hospital was built in a not-too-populated neighbourhood of the city. Approaching from the north, was a leafy lane behind Tichborne Hall and The Gatharium, two large residences in Maradana. From the east, there was a similar lane from the Welikada jail, on which among the very few other houses were two rival establishments providing coffins. From the west, Turret Road, one saw where the Eye Hospital now stands another small low-built bungalow which was called the Mango Lodge. This was used by the later Dutch Governors as a hunting lodge. From the right, along Regent Street there were only five houses. Leaving the hospital southwards was a long avenue to the cemetery at Kanatte. When naming this street in Colombo, this avenue was called Kynsey Road after Sir William Kynsey, Head of the Medical Department.”
The red and yellow Victoria Memorial Eye Ward built in 1903, in keeping with Hindu-Saracen architecture and is believed to be the first permanent building on the premises.
The suggestion that it should be built to commemorate Queen Victoria had come from none other than the Governor’s wife, Lady Ridgeway. With a fund being set up to help those with eye ailments, philanthropist Muhandiram N.S. Fernando had donated Rs. 5,000 while appeals through the newspapers had been able to raise Rs. 100,000 from the public.
Designed by popular British architect Edward Skinner and constructed at an estimated cost of Rs. 160,000, the building with a commanding view of Lipton’s Circus has walls of 200’ in length and 97’ in breadth at the front. Two portraits that are said to have adorned the area close to the elevator, those of Queen Victoria and major donor Fernando, are no more.
Now this building put up at Lady Ridgeway’s urgings is benefiting vascular and transplant patients as well as those with orthopaedic problems.
A while of rest before next game.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is an impartial, neutral and independent organization whose exclusively humanitarian mission is to protect the lives and dignity of victims of armed conflict and other situations of violence and to provide them with assistance. The ICRC also endeavours to prevent suffering by promoting and strengthening humanitarian law and universal humanitarian principles. The ICRC is at the origin of the Geneva Conventions and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. It directs and coordinates the international activities conducted by the Movement in armed conflicts and other situations of violence.
THE ICRC has been permanently present in Afghanistan since 1987, and the orthopaedic programme was one of its first activities. The ICRC orthopaedic center opened in Kabul in 1988. More than 90,000 Afghan disabled have been assisted through it. Those are combatants and civilians caught up in fighting, hurt during bombardments, or struck by landmines. At present the ICRC directly manages six orthopaedic center in Afghanistan and supports four non-ICRC prosthetic workshops.
Of close to 200 employees running Kabul orthopaedic center, including a large hospital and workshops producing prostheses and wheelchairs, all are disabled themselves. The whole center is effectively run by people who had been affected by warfare, loosing limbs, but not losing their spirit.
Some of ICRC workers and patients have, under the leadership of Alberto Cairo, legendary head of the center, started a wheelchair basketball team, and practice almost every day after office hours. In June 2012 first wheelchair basketball tournament took place in Afghanistan. Kabul team did not win although they gave a tough fight.
It’s been a moving experience to see them practising and playing, an experience that cannot be forgotten.

University of Maryland Rehabilitation & Orthopaedic Institute is a rehabilitation hospital located along the border of the Forest Park neighborhood of northwest Baltimore City and Woodlawn in Maryland. It lies on and is incorporated into the historic hospital building and grounds of the former James Lawrence Kernan Hospital. The hospital is now part of the University of Maryland Medical System, on the campus of the University of Maryland at Baltimore.
History
The James Lawrence Kernan Hospital was built between 1860 and 1867 as Radnor Park, a two-story, five-bay, Victorian mansion. In the first decades of the 20th century, alterations were carried out to the original house which made the house over into a combination of the Greek Revival and Colonial Revival styles. The additional surrounding 1920s-era hospital structures were built in a style that blends well with the old historic mansion and its grounds.
James Lawrence Kernan (1838–1912), was a theater manager and philanthropist of the late Victorian and early Edwardian eras in Baltimore. He had the landmark Kernan Hotel (later renamed the Congress Hotel) on West Franklin Street. The "rathskeller" in the basement of the hotel (later also known as the "marble bar") was the site of the first "jazz band" music in the town when it opened in 1903.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places maintained by the National Park Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior in 1979
Notable patients
CBS television news reporter/correspondent Kimberly Dozier, following her injuries from an improvised explosive device in the Iraq War in 2006, spent time at Kernan recovering.
Several former Baltimore Colts football players, including quarterback Johnny Unitas, were recipients of physical therapy at Kernan Hospital.

Debi Thomas, M.D. (born March 25, 1967), is a former figure skater.
She was the first African American to win a medal at a Winter Olympics, winning the bronze medal in ladies figure skating at the 1988 winter Olympics.
She is now an Orthopedic Surgeon.
Thomas won the 1986 U.S. National ladies' figure skating title and the Ladies' title at the 1986 World Figure Skating Championships; those achievements earned Thomas the ABC's Wide World of Sports Athlete of the Year award that year. She represented the Crystal Springs Figure Skating club and was coached by Alex MacGowan. In 1987, Thomas struggled at the U.S. Nationals, placing second to Jill Trenary, but rebounded at the World Championships, finishing a close second to East German skater Katarina Witt. Thomas was a pre-med student at Stanford University during this time, and she became the first and only African American to hold U.S. National and World titles in ladies' singles figure skating (Tai Babilonia was previously a U.S. and World champion in pair skating.)
In January 1988, Thomas reclaimed the U.S. National title. At the 1988 Winter Olympics held in Calgary, she and Katarina Witt engaged in a rivalry that the media dubbed the "Battle of the Carmens", as both women skated their long programs to the music of Bizet's opera Carmen. Thomas skated strong compulsory figures and performed well in the short program to an instrumental version of "Something in My House" by Dead or Alive but performed poorly in the long program, finishing third and winning the bronze medal behind Witt and Canadian skater Elizabeth Manley. Thomas won the bronze medal at the 1988 World Figure Skating Championships and then retired from amateur skating.
After her figure skating career, Thomas went back to school to become an orthopedic surgeon. She graduated from Stanford University in 1991 with a degree in engineering and from the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in 1997. Thomas followed this with a surgical residency at the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences Hospital and an orthopedic surgery residency at the Martin Luther King Jr./Charles Drew University Medical Center in South Central Los Angeles.
In June 2005, Debi graduated from the Orthopaedic Residency Program at Charles R. Drew University in Los Angeles. She spent the next year preparing for Step I of the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgeons' exam and working at King-Drew Medical Center as a junior attending physician specialist. In July 2006, she began a one-year fellowship at the Dorr Arthritis Institute at Centinela Hospital in Inglewood, California, for sub-specialty training in adult reconstructive surgery. In September of 2007, Thomas joined the orthopedic staff at Carle Clinic in Urbana, Illinois.
She still remains involved in the figure skating world as a frequent committee member and judge. Thomas was inducted into the U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame in 2000. She is also a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated.
In 1988, Thomas married Brian Vanden Hogen, a fellow college student. They later divorced and she married Chris Bequette, a sports attorney, in 1996. She gave birth to a son, Christopher Jules ("Luc"), in 1997.

Hi everyone. I'm home. Two nights in hospital. No bone infection. Charcot's disease after all causing multiple fractures in my foot. Will see orthopaedic surgeon this week for discussion about possible surgery (pins and things) in future. Meanwhile ABSOLUTELY NO weight bearing on right foot.
I could "feel" Tessa and Sole sleeping with me, on my hospital bed, last night. I'm sure some of you have had the same experience. So happy to be home with them again.
Thanks for being with me the last few days dear friends.
