Weather very warm today, Sue visited Ray’s wife Diane today also with friend Anne. It is nice that they have had some time together, plenty of stories about Ray, very early days yet but nice that Diane has friends to help her through this difficult time. I did a bit of gardening this morning then […]
Nothing much to report today, had a blood test and ECG for the bit of dizziness I’ve had lately. Heart seems OK await blood test results probably on Monday. Other than that a bit of gardening and started working on next year’s Rotary project. More on that in due course most likely. 74 Covid deaths […]
Sad news today, my cousin Stephen passed away after a long battle with cancer. His Dad, Eric is not at all well and has been going through cancer treatment for some time. Particularly difficult for Eric, Doreen and all their family especially as Stephen’s brother David died many years ago, also of cancer. I spoke […]
It was good to be back running with the club this evening, a very friendly and helpful group. One complete lap of the park just under 36 mins. Pace was just under 11 min/mile so proves it helps to run with someone else. Thank you Darren. As the clubhouse is still out bounds due to […]
Mike, James and Alex came today to collect a bike and some belongings left from last week and also brought a box of children books and puzzles. These are destined for Sierra Leone for the David School which our Rotary club has been supporting. Mike had some work to do so after lunch we took […]
Weather forecast was good for today so we decided to avoid the busy roads and beaches and potter doing a few jobs in the garden and a bit of quiet time. Well, to some degree that is what happened. It has been a nice day so as our post office is closed for refurbishment, we […]
A brighter and slightly warmer day and Sue was getting her haircut, so I decided to go for a ride with friend Mike. We headed North this time and reaching Offham we stopped at Spadework Cafe at Offham but found that the cafe would remain closed until October. We decided not to wait and continued […]
After my previous visit I was hoping that Mum might be more receptive today. Unfortunately, on my arrival she was once again overcome with distress and like before, said she had enough and wanted to “be gone”. For the next 5 minutes I tried to console her by giving her news of the family and […]
Today the Govt has given the go ahead to allow gyms/leisure centres to open from 25th July. We are all ready at Maidstone but there will be restrictions including bookings only, social distancing, time and lane spacing limits in the pool. We had an online Trust meeting this morning to update trustees on the situation […]
At last a group ride. Les organised the coffee and pub stops but not the weather. I decided to ride to Biddenden to meet Les who is forgiven for driving there to start the ride as he is 87. Early start for me in torrential rain but soon got used to it. Arrived at Biddenden […]
