Peter’s Hospital Diary

This morning dawned bright but cool (although not quite as cold as the previous two days). The first task of the day (after Mark lit the fire) was to investigate the damage to the wiring. It was slightly worse than we thought, because although no conductors had been severed, the insulation on three (out of […]

Yesterday started with a cold morning, and a slightly more extensive frost, but the main event of the day was the expected arrival of Sue and Mark in the late afternoon. We went to do a little shopping in the morning, where we discovered a bitterly cold wind, so it was back to the house […]

We were rather surprised to see a ‘Cold and Frosty Morning’ this morning, although it was only a ground frost, and a glance at the weather stats showed that the air temperature had only dropped to 0.9C. The frost soon melted in the bright sun, and we went off to Sarlat – a pretty town […]

Which pretty much sums up the contrast bwtween day and night. However we are nice and toasty round the wood burner. To see how toasty you can visit this link which will give near real time weather info. (One of the items I brought out for Mark was a method of interfacing the weather sensor […]

We are back in France, staying in Mark and Sues house in the Dordogne – this time on our own, although Sue and Mark will be coming out at the end of the week. Our job is to get the house nice and tasty for when they arrive! But it has been a busy few […]

It has been a bit of a medical week! I went to see my GP for the prescription for the Clexane (to combat the DVT) on Tuesday and came away with 14 boxes of 10 injections (I thought I had finished the self injection bit with the last lot of GCSF last year) and yesterday […]

I was looking back through recent posts and I realised that I haven’t posted anything of Olivia for a while, so I have updated the gallery with some new photos taken today when Vicki and Tom came over for Sunday lunch. Other than that, it was a quiet day – Rachael did a bit more […]

It was a very intensive course, although the last week wasn’t quite as intensive as the first, but it did end with a written exam on Thursday and a practical exam on Friday. The formal results won’t be out for a couple of months, but I should get an informal indication in about 4 weeks. […]

It was a very good evening with eleven people from my year, some friends from other years and some of my old teachers – one I hadn’t seen since leaving school. The photograph shows me at the dinner with Paul on my right and Jack on my left. There are some other photographs that will […]

Sorry I haven’t posted during the last week, however internet access has been patchy (although I have checked for comments) and the course has been VERY intensive, stating at about 8:30 and not ending much before 6pm each day, with revision and reading in the evening. However it has been very interesting. The second week […]
