Latest Update

Good Afternoon All,
Managed to get out on Wednesday evening and got Lynn persuaded to take me to Johns funeral in Boston , early on Thursday. As expected, the chapel was full to overflowing, so I didn't hang about after the service, went back to the Petwood and found a quiet corner to put my leg up - just giving me a bit if jip at the moment. Bill , Johns son,had asked me, before I went into QE on the second occasion, if I would like to deliver a short Eulogy. I thought my speech capabilities had improved enough to do it, and I know that John would have wanted it, so I agreed . I had drafted a skeleton while I was in Hospital and, despite a poor start whilst I got my public speaking voice into gear, it went well and was very well received by those present. However, I had had a lot of attention from mutual friends and was well shot by the time I got home. Slept for a good portion of the night and didn't do a lot on the Friday. I didn't realise how tired I get, but I've taken out the dumbbells and I'm working on getting the strength and lung capacity back up to speed.
Had a pretty good weekend, let loose on Saturday night but severe restrictions on alcohol intake due to 'the boss ' reading the blurb on the anti - biotics. It doesn't say  'none ' but it doesn't say ' 3 pints of Guinness is good for you ' so I had to stick to one. which ,over 2 and a half hours takes some doing. Nevertheless, I had a good night catching up with friends and acquaintances, and, as I'd promised not to stay all night, left 5 minutes before the end. No reactions on Sunday, just a long deep sleep, which is something I've needed for some time.
Another good night and I'm beginning to feel  like doing something, so I'll have a steady day and do a few catch up jobs, write a few Christmas cards and sort the week out.
Bye for now - next blog on Friday ( after the office Christmas lunch - cant manage Turkey yet but I've found things I can eat )
