Peter’s Hospital Diary

Well, another year older – but an excellent weekend and a Birthday to remember!

My parents came down on Thursday night – the evening before the day which kicked things off to a good start, but having been out the Saturday before, I wasn’t expecting much more in the way of celebrations. However on Friday we went out “for a drive” and ended up at a lovely Hotel near Sparshalt (details) just outside of Winchester. My sister and brother-in law joined us and we had a very long and enjoyable lunch!

On Saturday I went out with ‘The Boys’ (including Blogmaster Mark) to the pub for a couple of pints for lunch (funny how drinking 3 litres of water in a day is an effort, but a couple of pints at lunchtime is no bother at all… one of life’s great mysteries) and a curry. Yesterday (Mothering Sunday) was spent relaxing after a trip to Church in the morning! (Hope you all remembered to advance the clocks!)

On the health side, I have received the appointment for April 4th to discuss the radiotherapy plan, so that is entered in the diary on the PDA I had for my birthday!

So a big thank you to family, parents and friends for a very memorable week-end!

Today I have been fixing number 2 daughter’s car – which has an irritating tendency not to start when it rains, so we (I!) have changed the plugs and ignition leads, and finally got it going, although I am not convinced the problem is fixed.

I have also fixed a couple of minor errors in the blog – the photos that were in earlier posts have now been re-instated – and leading on from that, I note from the comments that there is some interest in Conservatory progress – so here is a photo of progress so far – note the super thin glazing bars and the super transparent glazing! (The superstructure should be fitted in the week of 10 April – more photos then perhaps!)
