I am sitting in a chair by the window in QA Hospital. I like to sit here while the nurses put the ward back into daytime mode. The sun is shining full pelt today,and I am enjoying watching the people coming and going in the road beneath the window. This tells me that out there,…

I wonder what this week will bring? For a start, I will see if I can go a whole week without complaining, as I seem to have done a lot of that lately. I cannot do it indoors, so why do I think it’s okay here? Of course, I shouldn’t moan about anything, as my…

I thought that posting about my difficulties in the post, The Snowball Effect, would help my perspective, and it did, up to a point. My mind is still hunting for a way to do everything, even though you and I know this is impossible. Not without a lot of tweaks, anyway. I read another post…

What a week this has been! At the beginning of the week and fed up to my back teeth with feeling so sick and giddy all the time, secretly wondering if a stroke might be imminent as my head felt both awful and wrong at the same time, I bit the bullet and rang my…

Linda… Friday/Saturday I am working from home today. My boss rang twice to remind me about Saturday. No surprise there, he knows how I feel. I worked until lunch. I took my bike out for a ride and stopped at a greasy spoon, had the most amazing lunch. Spent an hour talking with an elderly…

Sorry that we missed a day yesterday! I wonder what you think of Linda… I found the Rose and Crown too smoky. Pushing open the door, I remembered Brian had thick, blond hair, a crew cut back then, dark blue eyes. Making my way to the bar, trying to look without swivelling my head too…

Stop the World – I want to get Off! Life simply isn’t getting any better, and in some respects, it’s getting worse. Tensions are running very high in our house, very much due, I’m afraid, to the slow-moving mechanism that drives the NHS these days. And before anyone jumps all over me, I will add…

It is 7.30 in the morning. The air is still, and cool compared to yesterday, and the only sound I can hear is the repeated and annoying call of a wood pigeon. I counted twelve that time. It is 20 degrees already and we have been promised another hot day. Parts of the UK have…

Another week of waiting for news, and the lines of communication were strangely silent, right up until yesterday afternoon. I had tried to convince myself that this could be a good sign, and in a way, it was. The letter that arrived, was a copy of the formal (and very technical) notification that was sent…

Yesterday afternoon I had planned on writing and working on a trailer for one of Anita’s books, but the sun was shining, and I couldn’t be asked. We sat outside, drinking coffee, surrounded by all the jobs I have been neglecting so far this year. Not really my fault, for the weather hasn’t exactly been…
