  • Week 206 – Feb 24th – Pot of gold

    We went down to Claire’s dad today, not long after we got back to his home, the heavens open and it poured down.

    Shortly after it stopped, we were able to capture this rainbow, looking out from the garden.

    Amazing colour.

  • Week 205 – Feb 15th – High blood count

    This morning I found out not good news and short live too.

    My dad blood count was high, so next week they are going to start him again on chemotherapy.

    So that good news didn’t last long, but dad said he felt OK in himself.

  • Week 205 – Feb 14th – Covid19 test

    Today I did my monthly winter Covid19 test and after what happened on Monday, I was pleased to see this come back negative.

  • Week 205 – Feb12th – Not a pleasant way to start the week

    No it wasn’t.

    Not sure what caused it, but I was hit by the Norovirus.

    Never had it before and never want it again.

    Completely knocked me for six.

  • Week 204 – Feb 10th – Tunbridge Wells Garden Centre

    Today we took a drive out to Tunbridge Wells Garden Centre, we decided to have something to eat here. The food had always been good, but today it seemed on a different level.

    I gave feedback via their website and this was the respond I got back.

    “Good afternoon Michael,

    Thank you for taking the time and sharing your feedback about your most recent visit to our store.

    I will be sure to pass on your feedback and positivity with the garden centre restaurant team.

    Have a lovely day and we hope to see you again soon!

    Many Thanks

    Ollie Muggeridge

    Customer service manager”

    I must admit, I wasn’t expecting a response this quick. I always like to give feedback, whether good or bad, especially as most people only like to give bad feedback.

  • Week 204 – Feb 6th – Good news

    Found out this evening that my dad was in remission from his myeloma cancer. Which was fantastic news.

    They will continue to monitor him, but this is brilliant.

  • Week 204 – Feb 6th – ONS standard of living survey

    This morning I did my yearly ONS standard of living survey via a telephone call.

    I think it’s good to do these things as it as an input to what’s happening in country, especially the last 18 months with the crazy cost of living.

    It helped I had a good rapport with the person doing the survey.

    Some of the questions are weird, but as I have done this for a few years now, they have some of the answers already.
