Prof latest result
Hmmm, I thought that the 'come and have a blood test every month from now on' annoyance was just that – a blood test annoyance. But no – it also seems to come with a bonus surprise screening for the Paraprotein, so I was a bit taken aback today when the result came in and…

The Puddle Hunter
So – you know how the weather's finally perked up, the sun's out and it's actually warm? And how the park has suddenly been transformed from a freezing muddy wasteland mostly under water, to a place you can almost – almost – imagine people coming and lying in on their blankets with a picnic? Well…

Prof yesterday
Well, it was better than it could have been but also worse in some ways.. Confused? Well join the crappy club. On the upside, my full body skeletal survey provided the very helpful summary that I am undergoing 'stable change'. Well, is it just me or are the two words 'stable' and 'change' not mutually…

Off to the BVIs
Hurrah, hurrah – only 'two more sleeps' as Hawksey puts it, and we will be heading off for 2 lovely weeks in the BVIs. Spanking boat awaits and hopefully slightly better weather than when we last went on our honeymoon nearly 3 years ago. Mum has just been dropped back here by Richard, and Cathy…

Meeting Reeve
Yesterday was a first in several ways – most importantly it was the first time for me to meet Hawksey's nephew (Tim's son) – Reeve. Now aged 25 and living in Gloucester we chose possibly the worst wekeend weather-wise to winkle poor Reeve off his nice dry hilltop in the Vale of Dean and lure…

Biting the Bullet
So – got an email from Prof's PA earlier, asking me to come for my apointment on 3rd March rather than the 11th. Given that they have my recent blood results already, my immediate thoughts were all around 'is something uregntly wrong or is it just his diary that's moved or are they calling me as…

Scrumpy, meet Oliver. Oliver, meet Scrumpy
So – had a rather successful introduction of younger godson, Oliver to mad dogbeast yesterday in the park. Oliver and his twin little sisters Abbie and Emma, all donned their mini wellies and came out with Mum, Dad and 3 scooters and various helmets for protection for a park walk with us and the four…
