Not one of my better days. Firstly, my electric UpEasy cushion failed and will need to go back to the manufacturer’s for repair and heaven knows how long that take. In the meantime we will have to cope with the manual one.. Thank heavens I bought two. On top of that I found out, by […]

I arrived at the golf club today, having been driven by Kit, and need to find that ‘my lovely’ had forgotten to include my bag of tricks this for eating and drinking. She discovered before I did and poor old thing went to enormous expense in sending them by taxi as she knew how much […]

My 2 mnthly check out at Papworth Hospital today after sleeping, last night attached to the Oximeter which, I understand, is designed to measure the amount of saturated oxygen in the lungs whilst one is asleep. On the whole the results were fairly predictable. A general deterioration all round with a rather more serious drop, […]

As my computer has decided to behave itself again I am attempting another entry. There has been a complete shambles over the election of trustees to the MND Association. I submitted my application form, supported by two trustees, well before the closing date of 11th. of June. I completed the form online and then pressing […]

Utter frustration, there is a 30 sec. delay between me dictating  and the text appearing on the screen. For this reason I shall await the return of my newer laptop, hopefully, on Monday, before making any further entries. In the meantime, I thoroughly recommend reading the account of the Swedish trip – 1Aug-14 Aug

Not a very auspicious start to my 77th. year. I managed to fall off the bed, at 5 a.m., banging my head heavily on the floor. It ‘my lovely’ almost 1 hour to get me up and back into bed, using a series of low chairs and the rising mechanism on the NHS bed No […]

Another milestone. I made it !! It Is my 76 birthday today. The sun is shining and the weather is fine, unlike yesterday when I went to the geriatric golf day and spent much of the time sheltering, from the drizzle,.in Griggs’ buggy. Today, however was to be entirely different – a sunshine day. Both […]

I spent a very busy day catching up on all the things that had built-up whilst I had been away. I also contacted AbilityNet who have arranged for the tea soaked laptop to be picked up tomorrow and repaired. The most exciting event today was booking my flights, and those of the good doctor, to Bangkok for […]

Although it is Sunday, and his mother-in-law’s 30th wedding anniversary, my good friend Duncan Rix, came around to sort out my computer for me. Although he managed to get the picture the right way up there is undoubtedly damage to the keyboard so it will have to go back to Toshiba. In the meantime I […]

After the good doctor had gone to the airport to fly back to Sweden, I spent the morning struggling with my upside down, tea encrusted, laptop. It was all very exhausting and in the end I abandoned the task. I think this of an appropriate point at which to mention my current physical state at […]
