We are all only too aware of the current state of our economy and the need for every one of us to play our part not only to save money but also not to waste it. Hospitals have been commissioned and have brand new wards left empty, for one reason or another that the hospital […]

Two things I meant to mention yesterday for other MND sufferers and their carers. One, is that the fasciculations in both arms and legs ceased some considerable time ago. maybe even up to 12 months. When I stopped to think about this I wondered whether it meant that all the damage that was going to […]

Enough about me, (yesterday’s entry) what is happening in the wider world.? Sadly most of it is bad news. Yesterday confirmation came that all four of the miners trapped in the goldmine in South Wales have died. This was one of the small private coal mines that is still running. As I understand it, it […]

I‘m glad to say that my seriously runny nose was back to normal this morning when I removed the respirator. ‘My lovely ‘seems convinced that it was the result of an allergic reaction to the amount of alcohol that I consumed at Lord’s, however much I tried to convince her that it was a very […]

The forth of the cricket ODI’s against India. This was the last of the fixtures at Lord’s for which I had tickets and had invited two guess. However, at the beginning of the week the weather forecast was absolutely appalling, the one for Sunday was for heavy showers, on and off all day. Well, that […]

A truly sporting weekend. At least the for armchair type such as me. We had the excitement of the Walker Cup – which for the uninitiated is a golf match between two teams , Great Britain and Ireland against America. We need 13 ½. points to win the cup, against the Americans 13 points to […]
