Peter’s Hospital Diary

I hope you all remembered to advance your clocks one hour this morning, heralding the start of British Summer Time, light evenings and (I hope) the promise of Summer! I had another module of my Postgraduate course last week, culminating in the usual exam, which I think went well. There is some coursework to complete, […]

Not only my Birthday, but also Richard’s (Happy Birthday Richard) and as I discovered this morning, also the Birthday of Alan Sugar – those of us of a certain age will remember Alan Michael Sugar Trading (Amstrad) amplifiers of our youth!
