According to the daily Care Report Mum was quite comfortable today and apparently played a ball game and went to the Shopping Trolley, whatever that is. I only left her a bit of money when she started at the home. I wonder if she has spent it, I am visiting on Thursday I’ll find out? […]
I returned to Leybourne Lake today. A pleasant day, so as Sue’s blood donor session had been cancelled due to the Virus she came with me. Sue walked, I swam! This was the first time that I had used my new watch in open water, it marked a good course, but I needed another 5 […]
For the first time since last year I managed a bike ride followed by a decent run. Not so hot as yesterday, but very pleasant. I cycled to join friend Mike at Brenchley then off we went to Cranbrook. Found the cafe called Food for Thought. We were made very welcome and I even managed […]

Sue went on her 6 mthly visit to Robertsbridge to have lunch with her dear friend Rosemary, whose husband died last year. She is […]
I’ve spent the last 2 days doing nothing much because of the tooth. Taking regular painkillers and antibiotics has kept me drowsy and lethargic. Tuesday night I up most of the night in a lot of pain. Last night however, was somewhat better by timing the drug intake and sleeping in the spare room. Same […]
I have had a toothache for 3 days but it it got much worse today. Spoke to Dentist, probably an infection so I started antibiotics this evening. I have been alternating between paracetamol and ibuprofen today, which helps a bit. I am not good at pain and even worse as a patient. Sue has looked […]
