Peter’s Hospital Diary

And it is a lovely sunny day down here in Hampshire! We are just about to go out for lunch with friends David and Frances (David I have known since I was about 4) but I thought I’d just do a quick update. I have now taken over the tenancy of a small but quite […]

And nothing untoward to report – the ECP on Monday and Tuesday went smoothly and that was followed by a haemotology check up. Again uneventful, although I did give up another 5 tubes of blood – on top of the little bit that gets lost after each ECP treatment session! After the trip over to […]

Tomorrow is ECP time again, so it will be off to London in the morning for the first session, followed by the second on Tuesday and a check-up at the haematology clinic, before going back to work on Wednesday. A few changes there – my contract has been extended for a further six months and […]

And that is probably enough of the Mamas and the Papas (1966)although it was very pleasant driving up to work this morning, listening to Depeche Mode (from around 15 years later) as the sun rose just as I crossed the border into Wiltshire. In fact the sky was getting light as I left, and the […]

And so it seemed as I left the house early this morning, birds starting to sing, and sunrise at 7:10 as I was travelling up the A303! Definitely a feeling of Spring on its way! Last week seemed to whizz by, busy at work, and then home again on Friday for the weekend. I finally […]

It has been another busy week and weekend! I arrived home safely on Friday – most of the snow had disappeared and the roads were clear and there were no adverse effects because of the date! We were out on Saturday evening at a Valentine’s day party (thank you Caroline and Stephen) and then on […]

Well not quite, but I will be setting off for home again soon. I drove home on Monday afternoon ready to travel to London for my check up and ECP on Tuesday and Wednesday, but before that we had a trip to the Ringwood brewery as part of a birthday present for friend Ian. The […]

The snow has gone from home, the geraniums that are outside look very sad (or dead) and I drove up to work this morning. I wasn’t sure about the route to take, but in the end I had no choice as the A34 was blocked in both directions just north of the A303 (an overturned […]

Home again after an interesting couple of days! Driving back to the hotel last night was fine, the snow was melting, the roads clear, and then it started to snow again so that this morning we had another four or five inches. The drive in was trickier, the gritters hadn’t been out, and the weather […]

And the snow continues to make life interesting! I went over to see my sister, Anne, last night (good curry!) and left just before 10. Roads were clear, no snow. By the time I had driven to the M4 the snow was just starting and I drove past a recovery van pulling a car (on […]
