A lovely warm sunny day but I have had a worsening tooth ache over the past few days so tomorrow I’ll need to phone the dentist, unwelcome action is needed. I bought a new inner tube and sorted out young Jasper’s bike, he is the eldest son of our lovely next door neighbours. It was […]
I did a short bike ride to the shops for Sue’s paper this morning to test the bike function on my new watch. Seemed to work fine. Bigger test this afternoon to try the running mode. I intended to run 5k, the watch records each km or so I thought. After 3 km I was […]
Sue’s turn today. Mum’s reaction was much as I received my welcome. Very hot day today (28 degrees) so she was dizzy and uncooperative for about 10 mins then settled down and conversation was a reasonable 50 minutes. Mum seems happy with the home, she is just not happy being 95 and who can blame […]
Weather very warm today, Sue visited Ray’s wife Diane today also with friend Anne. It is nice that they have had some time together, plenty of stories about Ray, very early days yet but nice that Diane has friends to help her through this difficult time. I did a bit of gardening this morning then […]
Nothing much to report today, had a blood test and ECG for the bit of dizziness I’ve had lately. Heart seems OK await blood test results probably on Monday. Other than that a bit of gardening and started working on next year’s Rotary project. More on that in due course most likely. 74 Covid deaths […]
Sad news today, my cousin Stephen passed away after a long battle with cancer. His Dad, Eric is not at all well and has been going through cancer treatment for some time. Particularly difficult for Eric, Doreen and all their family especially as Stephen’s brother David died many years ago, also of cancer. I spoke […]
It was good to be back running with the club this evening, a very friendly and helpful group. One complete lap of the park just under 36 mins. Pace was just under 11 min/mile so proves it helps to run with someone else. Thank you Darren. As the clubhouse is still out bounds due to […]
Mike, James and Alex came today to collect a bike and some belongings left from last week and also brought a box of children books and puzzles. These are destined for Sierra Leone for the David School which our Rotary club has been supporting. Mike had some work to do so after lunch we took […]
Weather forecast was good for today so we decided to avoid the busy roads and beaches and potter doing a few jobs in the garden and a bit of quiet time. Well, to some degree that is what happened. It has been a nice day so as our post office is closed for refurbishment, we […]
A brighter and slightly warmer day and Sue was getting her haircut, so I decided to go for a ride with friend Mike. We headed North this time and reaching Offham we stopped at Spadework Cafe at Offham but found that the cafe would remain closed until October. We decided not to wait and continued […]
