Harrow stabbing: update

Since posting on this blog yesterday about the stabbing which took place in Harrow, I have learned a little more through the grapevine. Don't take it as gospel but I have no reason to doubt the information as I heard the same details from more than one source.

At about 9:30 on Monday morning the police were called to a house on Hindes road and were joined by various medical teams including an air ambulance which landed nearby in the Harrow recreation ground. Two adults, one male and one female, were taken to Northwick Park hospital. Apparently, this was due to a domestic dispute which seriously got out of hand. As I understand it, during the argument the male had attacked the female with a knife and then turned it on himself. It is unconfirmed at this time whether there had been a fatality or not but at least one, if not both, are in a critical condition.

With the exception of a solitary police officer standing outside the address, everything appeared quite normal this morning. The crime scene tape had been removed and both Hindes road and Harrow View were open again. 

All going so well

Well, Christmas day was great. Santa came with his reindeer and left a lasting impression on our boys. Two chewed carrots and half a mince pie on a plate reinforced the seasonal belief considerably. I'll need to reinforce my teeth for next year ;-)




The rest of the day went as well as you could hope for on Christmas day. Presents, wrapping paper, music, snacks, naps, the Queen's speech, drinks, turkey, movies, mince pies, phonecalls, desserts, more drinks, more snacks, hugs and a multitude of mistletoe kisses. You couldn't have asked for a better day if you'd ordered it online.

Merry Christmas!

It was all going so well until, on Boxing day, my wife got a call about her grandad having to be taken into hospital. Needless to say, she rushed to her grandparent's side, along with nearby family members, getting an ambulance to deliver him to hospital where he is now having tests done to find out what's wrong.

Our thoughts are with him and we hope hope he makes a speedy recovery.
