Al. and I were in fits of giggles this morning trying on my ‘skirt’ (kilt). It looked very weird until we to took the tacking out of the pleats. Unfortunately the 38 inch waist may prove to be too big certainly if I lose any weight, which is my intention. Kilts are not easy to […]

A red letter day in more than one sense. Most important of all I picked up the third prototype of my feeding frame. My larger elastic waistband trousers arrived and so did my kilt. I collected the feeding frame late afternoon and therefore I’ve had no time to examine in it detail. The larger elasticated […]

Great excitement today my BioBidet was wired in by the electrician. It works wonderfully well and I can operate the remote control with my toe. The only drawback, I suppose, is having to sit there for around three minutes for the warm air nozzle to do its drying job. I have been giving some thought […]

Walked around golf club again today. I drive myself to my friend’s house, 3 or 4 miles away and he takes me to the club from there. I can manage to steer the car quite safely as I can still care of my fingers around the steering wheel and a car, being automatic, I then […]

The first thing I have to say is that the miracle concerning my artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) continues. In other words, I can urinate naturally without squeezing me control […]

Al. drove me up to Church Stretton to see my 92-year-old mother, who was in good form, if a little forgetful. We had a lovely trip stopping at some nice pubs on the way up and on the way back. On our homeward journey we stopped off at Whitley Court, Great Whitley – a fabulous […]

Went to Worlington. Walked around the golf course and lunched with my old mates. They were all very kind and welcoming and said how nice it was to see me there. No problem with my legs at this stage doing a three and a half hour walk, resting from time to time on my shooting […]

Great excitement. My wash and dry lavatory is being fitted today.

Received the following e-mail from the Washington professor today: “Mark, Sorry to take forever to get back. I totally understand and wish we can take this opportunity. If I had more resources/time on my hand, I would. I think your idea is wonderful and you should not give up on pursuing it with some British […]
