Being a Tuesday I had every intention of going to golf. I had been watching the weather very carefully and today’s forecast was 14° and overcast with light winds. Just about as good as I could get at this time of year. My carers got me all ready to go, my lovely packed my bag […]

I had a pretty lazy day yesterday the weather was bright but extremely cold so it was a question of staying in on keeping warm I did my usual work publishing the blog, answering e-mails, writing the odd e-mail thank you – for example to Martin and Winifred Potter, the secretary and treasurer of The […]

Son Miles came home last night. For supper en route to his friend George Courtauld who has kindly invited him for a day shooting. It was a fleeting visit and he left early this morning as the carers were attending to me but it was nice to see him as his next visit will not […]

I meant to say yesterday, when I was discussing having published an entry without checking it through, that if any entry does not make sense then it must have been published before I checked it through and I would be very grateful if the reader could bring it to my attention. It takes a matter […]

I‘m glad to say that the nifedipine tablets had done their stuff on my feet. They are no longer a ghastly mottled purply colour but are now pink and look a lot healthier. I was in contact with one of my readers who is caring for a husband who has recently been diagnosed with MND […]

‘My lovely’ left early this morning to catch the train to London. She had organised everything in advance like a military exercise, so much so that I asked how many weeks she was going to be away! As soon as the two carers appeared at 7.25 she was off. First stop was Olympia, Earls Court […]

As I sit here as I sit here looking out of my study window I see a beautiful blue sky and the sunny autumn day. I feel cheated as today is Tuesday, my geriatric golf day. I did a five-day weather forecast last evening specifically for the postal address of the golf club and it […]

Jane’ the sheep’ was still indisposed today so Paul’ the computer’ stood in once more for her. Of course, as much as I like Jane, at this stage of cleaning up my computer, it suits my book to have Paul here. As usual we spent three happy hours tinkering with the computer and I think […]

Today, being Remembrance Sunday (As opposed to Remembrance Day-11 November) Many of the programmes on the television had some sort of wartime connection. Firstly, there was the magnificent ceremony at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, laying of wreaths by the Queen and other members of the Royal family; the heads of armed services; the clergy and […]

Barton (W-P) came round for a chat at 2.30. From my point of view this is a good time for such visits. I will have finished my blog entry and dealt with my e-mails, had my lunch and still feeling a little perky. Much later in the afternoon I will begin to feel a little […]
