London and all it’s boroughs are now in Tier 2 (High Level) which includes Beckenham so our plan to have the boys for a couple of days now can’t happen. This is because one of the restrictions is no mixing of families in the home. Same also with Viv & Steve who had planned to […]
International committee meeting on Zoom this morning. Did some work preparing for World Polio Day on 24 October. We are going to have a stand at Brookside Nursery all day. Hope to raise a few funds towards the campaign to eradicate Polio in the World. It was in 2012 that Sue, myself and Mary and […]
Great news, Ollie has had his first monthly C&G exam results yesterday. He scored 80% and was awarded a Distinction. He was second out of a class of 15. What makes it even more special is that he only joined the class in September this year and the course started a year ago, so all […]
Yesterday we visited the Bradburn’s ( Beckenham Division) to look after the boys for the afternoon whilst Mike and Philippa went to orchestra practice. This was the first time they have got together since lockdown, strange experience with them all spaced apart. Alex is learning a short blues piece on the piano so I took […]
Today I lead a small group of friends on a cycle tour to visit three of the major Neolithic Long Barrow sites in the Medway Valley. I had driven to them on a recce earlier in the week. I cycled to the Friars where I met the others. Five of us set off and first […]
Took physio’s advice and had insoles fitted to my running shoes today. Had a very short jog to try them out, they feel Ok I’ll see what the longer distances do in due course. Nothing to do with sport but I bought a dome thingy to stop squirrels climbing up the pole to get bird […]
The Govt are now planning much tighter restrictions in parts of England from next Monday following Scotland’s decision to enforce a two week lockdown. However, plans at present are to localise restrictions where the cases are increasing the most. This at present is the North East and North West and some areas of the Midlands. […]
I visited Mum yesterday and once we had the hearing aid sorted again I had a lovely hour with her. I showed her videos of Mike’s boys playing their instruments and she was really happy and enjoyed it all. I will be writing a guidance note for staff to help them deal with the hearing […]
Our second chance to visit Mike and family after last week’s problems with Sue. Another wet and windy day today so we just went for the afternoon for tea and cakes. Sue and Philippa each made a cake so that was Ok. Not much left after the boys demolished them! It was great to see […]
Weather overcast but storm seems to have passed us by. Sue doing OK once again no dizziness, hope it stays that way. I sorted out some more of Mum’s clothes to take in on Monday. Whilst in the loft, looking around I decided that it needs a big tidy up. However, a little at a […]
