Hazy days
The last few days have passed in a bit of a haze. Ed's kidney stone is on the move, but it's a slow process and unless he keeps sedated up to the eyeballs, is excruciatingly painful. Consequently, he's been dosing up daily and nightly, and the days have passed in a soporific haze. For him, at any...

A good day out
Ed has been very off colour for the last couple of days. His back is quite a lot better, but he seems to have yet another kidney stone hovering, with attendant agonising pain and gut problems. Still, yesterday he took some massively strong painkillers which knocked him out for the day, then he slept...

The saga continues
Yes, you guessed right. Come Monday morning and Ed said, "Hm. My back feels a lot better today. I think I'll just give it another day and see how it goes..." So no visit to the doctor, and he played golf in the rain yesterday. Tweaking a bit last night - surprise,surprise. Still, he had a good...

Going Japanese
Ed has had a bad back for weeks now, but naturally, does nothing about it since it's always going to get better after a rest. It doesn't. Some days it's easier, but others it's worse. Yesterday, he could hardly get out of bed, he was in such pain. We were due to meet our son and our youngest...

Rain...
My cousin came over on Tuesday, together with her daughter and the daughter's partner. My cousin lives in Wales, and about a month ago we went to Wales and stayed the night with my cousin, in order to play golf with her next morning. It rained. We didn't play. My cousin is staying with her daughter,...

God intentions...
Had a busy weekend with the family over since it was Al's birthday (I made him a cake - this is a first!) Granddaughter was angelic (which made a pleasant change) and we all enjoyed meeting up. I had every intention of blogging yesterday, but felt somewhat low and couldn't raise the energy. The day...

A great day out
We had friends from the rectory area over for the day. "Have you been to Strumpshaw Fen?" they asked. "No, where's that?" "Just round the corner from you. It's an RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) reserve. We'll take you." So we went there for the day, and it was terrific. We took a...

A good day
A good day today in which Ed and I went to church and enjoyed it. Beginning to get to know people and feel quite comfortable in our new church. We came home after church and read the Sunday paper, always something I look forward to. Not because the peper is particularly good (there are loads of...

Nigel the curate
Had a couple of phone calls from Nigel the curate. They're the first contact I've had with him since I retired, and they flung me right back into working mode. The first was asking me to remind him which parishioners had shown interest in confirmation (which is a Church of England event where people...

We're home!
Thank you all for your good wishes and kind comments. We had a great holiday in Wales with good weather until the day we were due to play golf with my cousin, when the heavens opened. Since my cousin and I are definitely fair-weather golfers, we had lunch out in a delightful craft gallery-cum-tea...
