Peter’s Hospital Diary

The snow was pretty much washed away by the rain on Friday night and Saturday morning, but Sunday was quite a pleasant dry day – time to get out and do a bit of outside stuff. However Monday brought a trip up to London for another round of ECP, which went well, and the bonus […]

It did seem as if the cold weather heralded the end of the world – local shops ran out of milk, bread and vegetables – fortunately I was OK as I had stocked up earlier! (Only joking 🙂 ) But the snow was quite pretty, and the children built this large snowman in the back […]

The snow fell, although not in the same quantities as other parts of the country, but enough to cause panic buying of milk and bread at the local supermarket, and getting to work a little tricky. If anything, this morning was harder as the temperature was -7 when I eventually got into the car, and […]

I an back at work again after a couple of check-ups at St Thomas’s yesterday. The opthalmologists diagnosed dry eyes (and a very low level infection) so I have to artificila tears for use when needed. The dermatologists are very pleased with my progress, and I will carry on with the ECP at six weekly […]

And a very Happy New Year to you all! We have had a relaxing day today (well, this afternoon) after a party last night. We had a small gathering (about 26) to see in 2010, finishing at about 1:30, and had a little clearing up to do this morning – returning sound systems (Thank you […]

A little late, I know, but better late than never! I travelled back home on Wednesday, after most of the snow and ice had melted, and launched into the festivities. The last minute Christmas presents had arrived, and were wrapped, and there was a final flurry of shopping on Thursday morning. Unfortunately I seemed to […]

Today is the shortest day as we run up towards Christmas! And it looks like being a white one as I drove back last night to find a dusting of snow, and a little more in the car park outside the flat this morning! The last two weeks have continued to be busy both at […]

The ECP passed uneventfully – the Friday morning session seemed to take a long time on the photo-activation stage, but a quick dash to Waterloo, and a stop at M “this is not just food” & S for a sandwich and I was on the train home. It was a computing weekend. I have just […]

This blog is getting like a bus service – nothing for ages, then two posts arrive at once! I am sitting in the dermatology day centre at St Thomas’s connected to the ECP machine, so typing one handed is a bit slow (and error prone!) Good news is that the browser has a spell check […]

In fact I am very glad that I live near the top of a hill, and above the road level as the rainwater has been streaming past the drive this morning! Not as bad as Wiltshire where we have had quite a lot of road flooding, and of course nowhere near as bad as Cumbria. […]
