To those very few other than me who follow my blogs, I apologise but today’s subject is Mum again. We hope that the Panel met today and hope we will hear something on Monday. Yesterday I did go and visit the home that Viv found. The staff were very nice and helpful and there is […]

Nearly a week so my last blog. Unfortunately, my mind has been very focussed on the problem with Mum’s future. No word from social services so yesterday we contacted a senior person. It appears our contact has been off sick for a week and nobody picked up on her work. So, no report done, and […]

This week we pay Barty House the last invoice that Mum’s finances can afford. After 14 months in the Home the money that dear Auntie Edna left Mum has now been used up. On August 22nd social services will take over responsibility for her so in the next few days we should hear the decision […]

Unexpectedly, cases have fallen slightly over the past five days. This sounds good but too early even to speculate. Unfortunately, hospital cases continue to rise although deaths stay consistently low. It looks like the vaccines are working but we have yet to see the impact from “Freedom Day” a week ago. It usually takes a […]

So Mum’s assessment went ahead on Wednesday and now Social Services will do a report deciding what will be best for Mum once the money runs out in a few weeks time. We hope we made a good enough case to keep her at Barty House but whatever happens it is going to mean a […]

I went with Les and the wobblers to a part of Kent I have never cycled in before. As a kid I remember going to watch bike hill climbing on Yorks Hill and I have driven up Ide Hill and Toys Hill. Yesterday Les lead us from Pembury to Four Elms via another well known […]

Suffice to say that after extra time it was inevitable that we would lose on penalties, which we did. No need to go into detail there is enough written about the game and the crowd and racist problems afterwards. England want to host the World Cup in 2030?! I don’t think so! I did my […]

Yes, forget the fact that we have 37, 000 new Covid cases per day and it’s doubling every week, the country has gone mad as a result of England beating Denmark on Thursday. The final against Italy is tomorrow, but I remember the World Cup in 1966 and we were somewhat calmer. However, my cynicism […]

I am behind again with my blogs but the end is getting closer, even though cases are rising fast the Govt think that July 19th will see the easing of most restrictions. Their argument is that the vaccines are keeping deaths very low and the slow rise in hospital cases is manageable. They feel that […]
