The rule over one nominated visitor to Barty House is causing a lot of frustration. I haven’t received the letter yet, I have only had a phone call telling me that it is policy. I will be calling the manager tomorrow to at least get the reasoning behind the decision but I don’t hold great […]
Good that I am on my last day of anti-biotics and the pain has diminished somewhat, although it still feels uncomfortable. Good that Garmin is back up and running after a ransom cyber attack turned it off for several days. Good that I had my first swim in the pool today. I managed 1500 metres […]
UK Govt Foreign Office have now advised no non-essential travel to Spain. In effect that means, travel insurance will be invalid and not a good idea to go against that advice. We will make a decision on 22 Aug whether on not to cancel. If it stays the same advice which is highly likely with […]
From tomorrow people arriving back in UK from Spain have to quarantine for 14 days. That in itself would not stop us going on holiday as we can lockdown at home quite easily. However, the virus has raised it’s ugly head again in Spain and France. Catalonia is in lockdown and it has spiked in […]
Today was cousin Stephen’s funeral. Sue and I watched it online. A very moving and well presented occasion. Stephen was only 59, a very sad loss especially for all the family. Sue went on her 6 mthly visit to Robertsbridge to have lunch with her dear friend Rosemary, whose husband died last year. She is […]
I’ve spent the last 2 days doing nothing much because of the tooth. Taking regular painkillers and antibiotics has kept me drowsy and lethargic. Tuesday night I up most of the night in a lot of pain. Last night however, was somewhat better by timing the drug intake and sleeping in the spare room. Same […]
I have had a toothache for 3 days but it it got much worse today. Spoke to Dentist, probably an infection so I started antibiotics this evening. I have been alternating between paracetamol and ibuprofen today, which helps a bit. I am not good at pain and even worse as a patient. Sue has looked […]
A lovely warm sunny day but I have had a worsening tooth ache over the past few days so tomorrow I’ll need to phone the dentist, unwelcome action is needed. I bought a new inner tube and sorted out young Jasper’s bike, he is the eldest son of our lovely next door neighbours. It was […]
I did a short bike ride to the shops for Sue’s paper this morning to test the bike function on my new watch. Seemed to work fine. Bigger test this afternoon to try the running mode. I intended to run 5k, the watch records each km or so I thought. After 3 km I was […]
Sue’s turn today. Mum’s reaction was much as I received my welcome. Very hot day today (28 degrees) so she was dizzy and uncooperative for about 10 mins then settled down and conversation was a reasonable 50 minutes. Mum seems happy with the home, she is just not happy being 95 and who can blame […]
