Peter’s Hospital Diary

Phew, where to start? It has been a couple of weeks since I last “blogged” so there is quite a bit of catching up to do! The biggest adventure was a 12 day trip out to France with friend Mark, to his house for a working party. We drove over on Monday the fourth via […]

It has been a few days since I updated this – perhaps the most notable occurrence was waking up one morning to find this outside the house! The road was in need of some major repair work, various roadworks and the effects of last winter’s cold weather had taken its toll, and I was pleased […]

In this case being a dinner in the mess at Corsham to celebrate the 70th anniversary of The Battle of Britain and to remember the sacrifice made by “The Few”. I had travelled up to Corsham the day before to finish emptying my flat and then clean it out in preparation for handing back to […]

It seems ages since I was last at the clinic – probably because it is! All went well, with nothing abnormal found apart from a single liver enzyme taken from my ECP blood test that is 20 times normal value! No explanation especially as everything else was fine. So it is either a false reading […]

A busy bank holiday weekend! I was at a BBQ organised by someone from the Dive Club on Sunday (thank you Dave) an excellent afternoon, finished with a round of croquet). On Monday I went up to Corsham to start clearing out my flat. I have moved most of the things, but I’ll be going […]

Sorry for the delay in posting, but after my return from France (which now has an edited headline after my ‘Franglais’ was remarked upon by friend Julia!) I had a busy few days doing some work for a client locally, and then I went back to the Dive Club after a longish absence to discover […]

A bit of a posting gap I’m afraid, but it was ten days of much needed chilling – well, working with Mark on his house. It was also an opportunity to try out a new camera, and I will upload some more photos to the gallery in due course. In fact the whole blog software […]

It has been a busy and poignant week. The main ‘events’ have been the funerals of Simon (from BT) and Jane, a friend from University days. It was an early start on Thursday for the drive down to Faversham from Southampton, but it was a good journey and I arrived at the Church in plenty […]

Seems to be no end to sad news, as I am sorry to tell you that Simon died on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning after his long battle with lung cancer. I had spoken to him only a few days earlier, and although he sounded frail, he was quite cheerful, and I misread just how far down […]

The lovely weather continues! I was in Wales over the weekend, a very pleasant drive across the second Severn Crossing. The weather was perfect – although I had to be careful not to overdo the exposure to the sun. My contract ends tomorrow. Although there have been actions to try to renew it again, they […]
