Thursday 6th May

Well another bloody weird week. I have had to cancel the holiday once again. My wife has fallen down and broken a bone in her knee again. The same knee as the last one two years ago and once again she is in hospital. This time it will be for another two or three months again. I feel for her and she has gone through a bloody awful time, but on a personal note I am sick of hospitals!

Today is Election day over here. The chances of the present government getting back in are very slim I think. I have voted for them but then I have been a Labour voter all my life. But they have had a lot of bad press and the chances are we will have either a Conservative government or a hanged parliament with no party getting overall power. How that will work out who knows.

I am going to try and get out this morning to take some photos. I have a lovely brand new camera and I have not used it at all. I need to take photos!

Thursday 7th April

Yesterday we drove to Bristol to see ' Deal or no Deal'. If you have never seen the show click on the link. It was a lot of fun and we might go again to see it. The old guy who was there walked away with over £30,000 so he did alright. He went further than I would have though. I would have been happy with half of that.

Today with a bit of luck and if the wife is OK I will go into town to get a new camera. The incredible amount given to me by the staff of Cardiff Bus has been given in the form of a voucher from a camera shop. I want to get a Nikon D3000 SLR. I have been missing my SLR camera since it was stolen two years ago and although my Nikon P80 bridge camera is good it cannot compare to the SLR.

And this afternoon just for fun we are going to the hospital to see about Mary's foot. This is a long standing problem and she has to see the podiatrist about it today.

More snow in Wales

Well the forecast said so but luckily in Cardiff so far at least it has stayed away. Just rain and cold but at least we can get out in that. We both have appointments today in the same hospital, luckily two hours apart so hopefully mine which is the first will be well over before my wife's and we can get there on time.

I have a lump in my stomach called a lymphoma which is just a fatty lump really. I have had plenty of them over the years and not bothered with them. This one however is quite big and annoying me so I am going to see about getting it out. That should be only a day job and I will be home by the night.

My wife has had a massive sore on her foot for over three years now with no sign of healing up. She has regular appointments to see about it but today it is more urgent as the wound is very painful and I think infected again.

Work again

Well it is 5.00 in the morning and another day of fun is about to start. At least for a change we have not got the bloody snow to contend with at the moment. We have had more than our fair share of that this year that is for sure and winter is nowhere near over yet.

Today I must get on to the C.A.B. to get that appointment about the benefits check. I could not go last week and I want to get it sorted and see what if anything I can claim if and when I retire this year. I have already made my mind up really to get out, but I have to get all the details before making that final plunge.

On Wednesday I have an appointment with a Miss S Hill to see about the small operation that I have to have on my stomach. I have this lymphoma that has grown quite large and uncomfortable and want to get rid of it.

Well that is it as I have to get off to work.
