Some eminent scientists are saying that Covid19 could be with us forever and regular vaccinations would be necessary globally. The number of cases in Spain is rising dramatically and the UK are imposing quarantine on everyone returning from several more countries than before. I am sure we made the right decision to cancel our trip […]
My turn to visit Mum in hospital today but in the morning I had a call from the hospital that she will be discharged tomorrow. They have got her to stand with helpers on either side, so not bad for 95 yr old. Having said that she is very confused and is looking very old […]
Viv’s Gary visited Mum today. She has changed rooms and is nearer the nurses station. No further news on Mum’s progress but great concern over missing items. Various staff have searched but Mum’s right hearing aid,, dentures and glasses are all missing. Tomorrow I will be seeking higher authority as the hearing aids were extremely […]
Mum is being very positive but her confusion and memory is worse. It seems she doesn’t know she has had fall and we don’t think she knows she is in hospital, she thinks it’s a nice home, with friendly people! Sue said that Mum is blue with bruising all over her head and arms but […]

As if I am not tired already I promised James a tandem ride to Headcorn Airfield. He is a good little stoker but doesn’t stop talking whilst I am trying to catch a breath! Apart from a bit of misty rain we avoided the downpour they had in Maidstone, Sue and Alex got soaked just […]
Home day with the boys. I slept in the tent again but just with James. Alex preferred a bed indoors. Seemed to work well with a reasonably good night’s sleep but I am feeling the strain somewhat, looking after lively grandchildren for 6 days now, is quite hard. Just tonight and tomorrow night then back […]
Thanks to friend Chris for providing a new (old) keyboard and to Mike for sorting out my email issue the computer is up and running again. Hopefully it will last a little longer before I need a new machine! My minor injury from the ladder fall is on the mend so things are looking a […]
