Friday… On the road again!

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 […]

Tuesday… Post ECP

A good few days since the last post! After the chilly trip home, I spent Saturday doing some of my coursework, and then out to “The Anvil” Theatre in Basingstoke for a Concert given by the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra – excellent. Sunday saw the conclusion of the coursework module, and that was submitted on Sunday […]

Wednesday… Post ECP

I am back at work (a silly o’clock start this morning) after my two days of ECP, and a not particularly brilliant weekend suffering from snuffles, headaches etc – which thankfully seem to be getting better! However Felicity did sterling work in getting the Christmas tree up and decorated. ECP itself was uneventful in the […]

Wednesday

I can’t believe another week has gone by, however the time has flown by. Felicity went off to Uganda on Friday, and her mother completed her move into her new house on Monday. I went up to St Thomas’s for my next session of ECP on Monday, and also had a check up at the […]

Thursday… More Hospital Visits!

Hot on the heels of Vicki’s Birthday last Sunday, youngest daughter, Rachael, celebrated her 18th Birthday yesterday! However before that I was up in London for another two days of ECP. A slight change in procedure on the second day because as my weight is creeping up (10st 4lb) I have a greater blood volume, […]

Friday… More ECP

A quick update on the week, most of which was spent up at St Thomas’s, having the next course of ECP. However the monotony was broken as Felicity and Rachael came up for the afternoon and we went out for a pizza in the evening – with my ‘Joe Cool’ 🙂 sunglasses on, which made […]

Saturday… Two steps forward…one back

There are some significant changes in my life happening soon, including a job change, but as part of the completion of my current occupation, I needed a medical examination! Actually a formal review of my medical history over the last few years. However, while I was doing that, I applied to retake my diving medical […]

Sunday.. warm and sunny!

Hard to believe that this time last week I was 7,000 miles away, looking at snow covered hills! I have pretty much got over the time zone change – I always find travelling forwards across time zones more tiring, but I have had a few fairly restful days. I am back at work tomorrow, although […]

Thursday… more ECP

I have just arrived home from another two sessions of ECP – all uneventful, apart from the fact that I got the timings right on an M&S curry, which was a distinct improvement on last time. The highlight of the sessions though was a visit by Simon (ex BT) with all his news – the […]

Sunday… New experiences

Yet again it has been a week since I last posted – and another busy one! Firstly I am sorry the blog hasn’t been updated, but I have had little opportunity to connect to the internet – and when I have, the server has been unavailable because of the ongoing network snags. I have now […]
