Another geriatric golf day and ride around in the buggy with Griggsy. Still using my gutter from the car to the clubhouse and back, thanks to the ‘hug’ lifts given to me by our splendid  club secretary. Scott. He really is the only one I trust to manoeuvre me over the steps etc However well-meaning […]

It’s amazing to think it’s only 11 days now until the good Dr comes to pick me up to go to Thailand. I think I will still be able to manage struggling along on my gutter frame the short distances although even this morning I noticed it was becoming a real struggle getting up the […]

I spent the best part of yesterday watching the Ryder Cup which was terribly exciting. There’s something special about two nations battling it out together, in a sporting event, played purely for the honour of the country they represent. This is particularly so when you have the quality of sportsmanship and skill that is brought […]

Apart from catching up on my e-mails, dealing with the draft of my statement before the General Dental Association; checking over the examination papers for this year’s lectures in China and writing up my blog, I happily spent part of the day watching the opening of the Ryder Cup. Typical Welsh weather, bucketing down with […]

 This turned out to be a crunch day for considering the future. The problem being that we do not know precisely how long that future is and when changes to our present routine will be necessary. The two matters that we gave some considerable consideration to today, were how we would cope when I […]

My complaint to the General Dental Association is being dealt with swiftly. I received a call from an administrator from the complaints department who took an oral statement from me over the telephone which he will send in word form so that I can make any necessary amendments in order to satisfy myself that it […]

A chaotic day. First of all the hoist men arrived to fit a horizontal hoist at ceiling level in our bathroom, which I had hoped would overcome the problem of lifting me off the loo. Sadly the construction of our bathroom was such that it was not possible to fit that particular hoist. So is […]

Although it is Monday I am supposed to be at the (Tuesday) geriatric golf day, it being switched due to a society playing tomorrow. However, both Griggsy and I decided that the weather was too miserable to make the effort so no riding round the golf course this week. Yesterday, my darling daughter Chloe came […]

25 September 2010 Â Yesterday turned out be what, I suspect, the last reasonably warm day of the summer, or should I say the autumn, which came in a couple of days ago. We went to a ‘drinks and eats’ party put on by David and Madeline Young, who, like our friends the Curtis’ were […]

The big day has arrived. Tonight saw the  20th anniversary dinner of the Arbitration Club at Drapers Hall, in the city of London. Keith Kirkwood, despite his fortnight away in New Zealand (returning three days ago to especially to tidy up the details) did a splendid job. His ‘running order’ as he calls it, had […]
