 For those readers who are not cricket lovers they will be delighted to learn that today is the last of the international cricket season, at least so far as the UK is concerned -the fifth, and deciding game in the One-Day Internationals against Pakistan. England won the toss and decided to bat however they […]

A glorious late summer’s day for the geriatric golf today. I had my usual ride around with Griggsy accompanied by a lot of ragging and laughter, which, no doubt, did me the power of good. Between times getting me out of the car and in and out of the club house, good old Scott, the […]

Another week has gone by and I am still on my feet. At least I am tottering about using my gutter frame but would not feel very confident in going any great distance with it. The longest journey I do at the moment is from the house to the office and back. Regular readers will […]

Had a very pleasant weekend. A quiet Saturday and then the drinks party on Sunday with the Olivier’s saying goodbye to the Curtis’, the erstwhile neighbours.in the Arkesden Road. Alice wheeled me around in the wheelchair as the house was any a couple of hundred yards away. We didn’t stay too long at the party […]

A rare London day (I don’t count going. To Lords). In fact, I’ve not been up since I fell off the train on 8 June and broke my leg. The train is now not an option. Of course, it would be possible to get by wheelchair but that will require some organization which we have […]

A good day. My electric UpEasy cushion is working; my laptop has been returned and after two visits from Duncan, sorting out one or two minor problems the laptop seems to be working reasonably well except for my voice activation programme, Dragon, which has slowed to a snail pace, in what it describes as a […]

The. second of the One-Day Internationals, between England and Pakistan, turned out to be a nail-biter, primary due to England’s poor performance in the field. Pakistan batted first and knocked up a respectable 294 for 8 with Broad taking 4 for 81. England started well enough with captain, Strauss scoring 126, supported partway by Trott […]

Yesterday, was the ninth anniversary of the unforgettable tragedy the 9/11 destruction of the twin towers in New York with the appalling loss offer life. It might be considered apposite that it coincided with the last night of the Proms, which, ‘my lovely’ and I, listened to and watched with a great deal of pleasure, […]

I wonder how many of my readers noticed the nonsense included in yesterday’s entry? One young man, Tony, in China did and sent me a rather cryptic, if slightly cheeky, message ‘Happy Teachers Day !!!’ which, at first, foxed me but then led me to review the latest entry. What had happened was that the […]
