Week 314 – March 12th – Back training
This evening, I went back to the trainer Andy, for the 1st time since I fractured my collarbone and Claire also trained for the 1st time since 2024.
We both OK, though my knee was hurting afterwards.
As they say, no pain, no gain. Lets see if that is true.

Week 311 – February 16th – SVT
Well, this was a fun journey, Sidcup to Kings Collage Hospital, as there is no direct train route. I was going to change at Lewisham, but as we left Sidcup, I decided not to, instead I went to London Bridge.
Then went down to the underground and took the Jubilee line to Westminster and changed to the District and Circle line to Victoria, where I then took a train out to Denmark Hill, before walking down to the hospital.
The only good thing today, was that I saw the consultant early, as after looking at my leg, said I will get you to have another scan. Why not do this before the appointment?
The other question is how long will I have to wait and will it more local for the scan or up to Kings Collage Hospital again?

Week 303 – December 25th – Christmas Day
Christmas Day was different this year. First time I haven’t been with Claire, as she went down to her dads, whilst I stay at home, until one of my sisters came and picked me up, so that I spent it with my sisters and mum.
After the lovely Christmas dinner, we drove over to the cemetery and went down to my dad’s grave.
Our plant was still there, and my sisters lay one as well.
We gave a pray and then went home.
Left by my mum on Christmas Day. RIP Dad.

A plant in remembrance for Dad. RIP
