Geriatric golf day. Sunny but bitterly cold wind. I gave up after 13 holes were found I was doing more riding in Griggsy’s buggy than walking. 110/150 yards seems to be my limit before I needed a rest.

A last-minute, but always welcome, invitation for Sunday lunch from the W-P’s. Judith is such a splendid cook that one can always anticipate something delicious and we were not disappointed . As I now have the assistance of my neighbour in updating this blog I am hopeful that from now on it will never be […]
May Day
I received, from HDTI, a CD beautifully illustrating the first of my inventions in a presentation form. Guy, the director, has already made contact with two major international firms with a view to setting up a presentation for me. Unfortunately he is on holiday for the next couple of weeks so nothing much is going […]

I had a lovely day out with son, Smiler. The idea, as much as anything, was to give a brief respite to carer Number one..We drove through the picturesque Lavenham to Sudbury in Suffolk to visit Gainsborough’s House. It has a very fine collection of his painting and as well some of the artists associated […]

Graham Smith very kindly came round this afternoon to get me started on WordPress so that I can eventually make all my own entries on this blog. According to Richard the text is no problem, it is what I choose to describe as the ‘ twiddly bits’ – the Anecdotes; Videos; Photos and Jokes which […]

Work continues on the wet room and  the path and the engineer came and fixed the chair -it turned out to be just a loose cable. I received an e-mail today from Patrick Joyce who has been selected by the MND Association as a serious face of MND. Patrick is an artist who was diagnosed […]

Son Smiler’s birthday. He went off on the day with Kimberly so I shall catch up with him later. It was the most beautiful day, really quite warm and the joy to join the geriatrics at the golf club. I confess I’ve probably rode in the buggy with Griggsy, a little more than I actually […]

the house seems to be swarming with workmen. Conversion of the downstairs bathroom into a wet from proceeds apace, albeit rather slowly than we would wished. Paul and Bill. Our faithful hound handymen started today relaying the entire front path, currently aged in oh handmade bricks filled in between pieces of broken paving slabs with […]

Suddenly the ban on flying was lifted. 15 hours earlier in Europe than in the UK. It seems that the risk was over stated. Now the writs begin to fly, for compensation! The application form for Election as a Trustee to the MND Association, came today. So now it’s crunch time. I must decide whether […]
20 April 2010
Another beautiful spring day for my walk with the geriatrics (or perhaps I should say walk and ride as I shared a buggy from time to time, with John Stevens). The sun shone and the cause may be that there was a bone chilling icy winter which took the edge of the outing.
