Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark , wet and windy here in brackley this morning.
I will do my usual trip to Bicester this morning, as I have now got to do a blood test at my local surgery tomorrow which suits me , it will be interesting to see when they at the Churchill in Oxford decide to do the surgery on me as it could be a day one ,and depending on how I recover when its done , released on the day or kept in for one night when?
Take Care,
Mick

What I didn't add was that my friend wasn't at the station in Granada, when we arrived. No mobile phones in those days.
We waited for ages, but no sign of him. Panic set in, but knew he lived near the bullring, so we got ourselves there and kept walking around it, in the hope of seeing him. We did! We were so naive in those days.
Years later, now a head teacher, he was visiting the high school, where I had been decanted with a number of pupils.
I saw him coming towards me with the school's head teacher, he recognised me first.
My first words were, I can't believe, it's so many years since I slept in your bed in Granada! 😱( He had given up his room for me)
The two men burst out laughing! After all, I was supposed to a pillar of the community! 😚

I will gloss over being taken away at Gatwick to be searched. His mother had given me a shoebox; tied with string; stuffed with tablet and Tunnock's caramel wafers.
There had been a number of bomb scares in the previous days.

Much distracted by the idea of exploding Tunnock's wafers.

Very late on parade today. I had a much welcomed long sleep then got caught up on a thread elsewhere on is there such a thing as scientific truth. Will spare GN's the details.

Heavy rain here in South Yorks yesterdays meet with GNetter was delightful, and I had a busy day, hence the long sleep.

I've read right through and want to send love and hugs to all suffering or waiting for treatments especially Meg today. May your day come soon Mick. About getting older and not being able to do what we could, illness part of it, I THINK I am managing to let go a bit of the "I oughts". As I live on my own it means more dependant on others - so be it and just glad to have the means.

Sympathies for disappearance of cleaners, I have a lovely young women who is the best ever and feel so grateful. She doesn't come cheap but my goodness they deserve it.

Its horrible outside so I think I'll try to do yoga from a TV download I used in Covid times: it's just much harder to do it than at the gym where others are doing this and that around me. Zoom counselling later.

Atm I'm grateful to not have to join long queues booking supermarket slots - there is a pleasant big Sainsburys just down the road and I like to choose from what is "in", and sometimes pick up yellow sticker stuff.

(But it's all car dependent where I live. That may change next year or 18 months, I want to use my car less)

Take care

I think Megs posted late yesterday her appointment has been moved to Saturday, seems harsh.
