Tuesday – check-up time

I started back at work yesterday with a drive up to Corsham, and then drove back again for an early train trip to London, for both a haematology check up and a lung function test. There was a small problem in that the appointment was on the hospital system, however the clinic wasn’t that busy, […]

Saturday.. update time!

We are now back in UK – seems hard to believe that it is over a week since I last posted! The weekend in France proved a little damp, but by Monday the weather improved and we went on a trip to Perigeaux. We have been there before with Mark, but only as far as […]

Friday… Il pleut

And it is pleuting as I type, in fact this afternoon we have had a little lightning and quite a lot of thunder!

And also on the heating theme (in time for […]

Friday… a view across a sunny(ish) London

From the window in the dermatology day centre on the 12th floor at St Thomas’s where I am 20 minutes from finishing this session of ECP! The machine is humming as the little lymphocytes are being exposed to UV radiation to activate the drug! Some of the little jobs from last week are complete – […]

Tuesday… What a cold weekend!

Not in its entirety, but for late August it was pretty chilly! However it was an opportunity to catch up on some of the little jobs that have been accumulating – the first off being a recent fault on a shower pump, that keeps cutting in and out. I suspect it is a control board, […]
