Yesterday morning Sue and I did a double shift at Blackthorn. It was from 9.00 till 1.00pm. The freeze was starting to thaw so it was a bit more comfortable than previously. A slower day as the surgery had invited people with learning difficulties and some physically disabled as well. They came with carers from […]
Sue and I up early today for our shift this morning at Blackthorn. Another good day about 800 vaccines done which is brilliant for our small surgery. We open up to patients at 8 am but like before people are queuing from 7.15 am even though their appointments are not till after 8. So we […]
I am still harping on about the weather but it is still very very cold. We walked down to the cemetery as Sue wanted to put some roses on her Mum’s memorial stone. Unfortunately the container and daffodils had frozen and I had to try and make holes to fit the roses in as the […]
I didn’t really want to highlight the weather when I started this blog but in the early hours of tomorrow morning we are going to be at minus 10 C. Now that might be a slippery problem in the morning as I have to drive my car to the other side of town to get […]
In 2018 we had a real cold snap and we have another one now. Sunday’s snow has continued on and off, but it is so cold and it the ice that causes a problem In the last couple of days we have been mainly at home. Sue is spending a lot of time home learning […]

At one time this morning we had queues back to the main entrance but kept a strict 2m social difference. Many of the patients […]
Yes my “new” knee is 16 yrs old today. As a surprise for him today I did my weekly longish ride, much of it with MikeB. In total I did 62 miles but significantly I climbed 3,494 ft which is getting on for nearly the height of Snowdon. No wonder I once again had a […]
Yesterday Sir Tom passed away from Covid. Much respect for the 100 yr old who raised over £30 million last year by his long walk. He captured the heart of the nation and gave us all a lift in dark times. ME15 has had a short run in the national headlines. We haven’t seen anything […]
Well, we have made the headlines tonight. It seems like there are 11 cases of the new South African Covid variant in the UK and our little bit of Maidstone has at least one of them! Tomorrow I understand we will receive a letter telling us to stay at home and self test for Covid, […]
