Days 457 to 472

The gap in postings is mainly down to BT. We spent a couple of weeks at our static caravan in North Yorkshire. We thought we had a BT line to enable us to use a lap top there. However the park has changed hands. On the day this happened (just before we arrived) BT discontinued the line even though asked not to. Apparently they can cut a line at anytime but it takes them nigh on 4 weeks to restore it.

So where was I? Oh yes first and foremost congratulations to two family memebers. First of all Jack got his GCSE results. He took 13 exams and achieved passes at Grade C and above in all of them. Included in that total were 2 A stars and 7 Grade As. All good stuff. Well done also to Andrew who is off to the University of Hertfordshire to study Psychology.

Usually the waether in the South of the country is better than the North. This year we were lucky to have dry and often sunny days in Yorkshire. In contrast the Island has had rain, rain and more rain.

On the health front, I have only had two acid attacks since my last post. One of those can be traced to salted peanuts. I now know better than to try them again. My weight has stabisided at 13 stone. I have yet to hear when my next appointment with the Oncologist so shall ring the Hospital in the morning.
