Merry Christmas

It’s David Garrett’s 74th birthday today.

Many years ago I was at St John’s College in Cambridge with David. We were both members of the choir and boarded at the school attached to the college on Grange road. David’s family lived in Papworth Everard. David and I were close and on the odd weekend when we had a day off DavidContinue reading “It’s David Garrett’s 74th birthday today.”

A day in London

Val has planned a short day. 12th December 2025 . An early start and an 8.00 am train from Norwich to London Liverpool Street. Our first stop is the 22 building. It has one of the highest observation platforms in London. It’s an amazing place. Well worth a visit. The views of the river areContinue reading “A day in London”

Val is in York, I’m here with Bob

Bob and I slept in the same bed last night. We both miss Val. Its a strange feeling being in the house alone. I feel quite lonely. That’s not a new emotion for me, I’ve been there before; I can handle it, I just don’t like it.

A very brief visit to Tate Britain

After Val and I had visited the houses of parliament we found a restaurant for lunch then walked to Tate Britain. The Tate is on the embankment and is very different to its partner Tate Modern. I took a few pictures. We had a good visit and will be back

We visited the Houses of Parliament

Today Val and I were in London to meet our local Member of Parliament (Ben Goldsborough). Neither of us had been before and so we really didn’t know what to expect. We had been given instruction from Ben’s personal secretary Cathy on what to do, where to go and what time to be there. WeContinue reading “We visited the Houses of Parliament”

Interesting fact

Interesting fact just revealed. Those of us who went through sugar rationing at the end of the second world war appear to have less health issues than those who have grown up with sugar. What does that tell you?. Sugar’s the problem

Zoe have been Testing my poo

I’ve been a member of the ZOE programme for quite a considerable time. In Dec last year I signed up to a programme where they test me on a 3 monthly basis. The initial test is for blood sugar and testing poo for microbes positive and negative. I had tests done in Dec 24, AprilContinue reading “Zoe have been Testing my poo”
