Another day, another outing, this one to the golf club for the geriatric golf day. SMonday this week instead of Tuesday due to some other match having been arranged for tomorrow. Anyway, it’s probably just as well because today it was fine and sunny, in fact, it was rather too hot (27°C), and tomorrow rain […]

I spent the day at Lord’s watching the third One-Day International (ODI) against Sri Lanka which ended with a comprehensive win, for Sri Lanka by six wickets, putting them to do one up in this series of five. Apart from centuries by Cook for us and a very creditable 107 from Chandamal, that young newcomer […]

Men’s semi-final day at Wimbledon, fortunately a beautifully bright dry sunny day so there was no interruption from rain. However, these two matches did not start until the afternoon and in the meantime, early-morning I had an appointment for another remote assist session with the Dragon voice activation people as this latest version is simply […]

The first of the two-day national strike of public sector workers went off rather like squib only four out of the 28 public sector trade unions took part and it was mainly the schools which reflect so thousands of parents were inconvenienced and the children lost today’s education, for what effect? I suppose we should […]

The thundery rain has now passed over and we awoke this morning to a beautiful bright sunny day. Perfect for the men’s quarter-finals and the Murray match this afternoon. First thing this morning, my lovely sewing lady, Janet, came to measure up for making me another custom-made under sheet with a satin centre. I think […]

Being Tuesday it was meant to be a golf day for me, but the weather forecast was unclear and following the very hot weather there was high chance of some short heavy thundery showers. I really felt I could not risk it in my electric wheelchair. I think I will ask the wheelchair people’s permission […]

27 June 2011

A pretty hectic day for a Monday. First thing, I had a real problem trying to publish my blog entry. I tried for around three hours and could not resolve the problem so called on the services of that ever willing Paul, who fortunately was working just across the road. It even took him about […]

As forecast today was a real heat wave. I went into the garden in my electric wheelchair wearing my shorts and even sat in the sun for half an hour without my shirt. I cannot overdo the sun these days as I find I have far less tolerance for it than I did when I […]

Another weekend and one that the weather forecast people had promised would be a heat wave. It is also the day of Gillian Cook’s memorial service at a Clavering village church. Unfortunately, I cannot go but Alice will be representing us while Paul -Jaynes lodger -the computer geek, baby sits me. (Apparently, Gillian had a […]
