Ironically, it was 4 years to the day I left hospital following my 4 month stay, that I moved into my new bungalow. Yes, the move was stressful, but the removal team where great and I was in (with all my boxes) by 1pm. It was a startling contrast to that day 4 years agoContinue reading “5th September 2023”

As I write this, surrounded by a sea of boxes, I fully understand why people say moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do. As much as I had built plenty of contingency into my plans, I didn’t expect what has gone wrong, and the subsequent delays, which sent my bloodContinue reading “August 2023”

I’m delighted that the ramp is now in place so I can easily get in without any help! There’s quite a bit of work already taken place: Plugs installed at a better height for me (just in the lounge and main bedroom). Wall lamps in the lounge installed, so I can change the bulbs! TheContinue reading “July 2023”

Sorry for the radio silence, there has been lots going on behind the scenes. Firstly, let me introduce Dougal. I got Dougal for a rescue, he is 2 years old and he is such a sweetheart- spends his evening curled up asleep on my knee. Let the works begin! I’ve bought a bungalow! Sadly, I’veContinue reading “June 2023”

The COVID rates seem to be dropping again which is good news (the cynic in me thinks this is probably connected to the schools breaking up). July was a stressful month, starting with a hospital visit, followed by a leak in the bathroom, then of course the heatwave. NHS Inefficiencies I think the NHS isContinue reading “July 2022”

There’s been some increases in the COVID numbers this week, Cambridge are in first place with a 41% increase. Second place goes to the Isle of Wight with an 80% increase – interesting that has happened just after the Isle of Wight Festival… Meanwhile in America they’re going backwards by banning abortion! Which seems incrediblyContinue reading “June 2022”

As COVID has become less newsworthy, Monkeypox has arrived, the word is it can be contained. Remember someone saying “we’ll send this virus packing in 12 weeks!” about COVID? I won’t hold my breathe on that one. As more findings come out of the Sue Gray report, it’s hard not to feel anger that DowningContinue reading “May 2022”

This was the day my Dad passed away. He collapsed in the early hours of New Years Eve (my birthday), was taken to hospital and it was about 7pm before we got a phone call to say he’d got pneumonia. We were initially told he was responding well and just needed some physio to buildContinue reading “1st May 2022”

The Covid figures are falling, North Tyneside currently in pole position with a rate of 225 per 100,000! No sense, no feeling One of the obvious issues with having no sensation in my legs, is not knowing if you have hurt yourself. Just before Easter, I was making a cup of tea, but the teaContinue reading “April 2022”

Tewkesbury are currently top of the Covid table with a rate of 567 per 100,000, but Covid has well and truly been wiped off the news following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The terrible human cost of this is abhorrent. I heard on the news that there was a 40 mile convoy of Russian troopsContinue reading “February 2022”
