A Romantic Birthday Treat

Its Anna’s birthday tomorrow. So, what romantic treats do I have in store for her? A candlelit dinner for two? A sunset walk along the beach? No, too clichéd, I can do better than that. I have an appointment at the hospital for an echocardiogram and i’m going to take Anna with me. She’ll be...

The flu I had at SITS kept coming and going and then I had some chest pains so went to the doctors expecting to get some antibiotics for a chest infection. He did an ECG in the surgery and then sent me up to A&E for some blood tests. At A&E a very strange, but...

The flu I had at the weekend has been coming and going and was probably at its worst yesterday. Was it Swine Flu? who knows, maybe, but last night most of the flu like symptoms went away and I was left with a bit of a sniffle, a nasty cough and a sore chest. The...

Canoeing in West Wales

I can’t believe this weather. Yet another beautiful sunny day yesterday. In a way we had hoped for some wind as it was the Boardwise Windsurf Demo weekend in Aberdyfi, but as there wasn’t a breath we decided against driving all the way around just to look at some expensive boards that we can’t afford....
