Well today I went into hospital for my 6th chemo treatment out of 12.
I am still doing very well - despite having a cold and slight temperature last week for a few days. It could have been swine flu - who knows? I came into hospital for a blood test just to check that nothing serious was going on - all was fine.
Anyway I recovered well enough to shoot an 89 - my best ever golf score! I then shot a 92 and tomorrow I am due to play in the monthly village society golf day at Saffron Walden. I hope to play well and retain my bandit credentials as I will be playing off 24 in the stableford tournament. (Yawn, yawn say all the non-golfers.)
Jane is busy working doing supply teaching and a variety of other ad hoc jobs. I have been applying for interim management roles in the East Anglian region - but no joy yet. We hope to go out to Florida for a few months from early January - so I can only undertake short term assignments which is limiting the roles I can apply for.
Anna is about to move from Nottingham to Sutton Coldfield. She and her 7 year old boyfriend (you know what I mean) are renting a house for a year. Jon has been successful in finding a job. He starts on 5 October with OFFWAT (the government funded independent watchdog for the water industry) which has offices near to New Street Station in Birmingham. It is a really good job with excellent long term prospects.
Anna will continue to work 2 days a week in Nottingham and also complete her PHd studies before looking for a full-time job for herself.
Well that's all for now.

Hi Lawrie
ReplyDeleteIts good to see that you are progresing well. Retirement is usually what improves your golf, not a major illness but trust you to be different.
Business has improved over the last few months and will are now selling at least two houses a month. No it is better than that and I think things are on the upturn.
We are off to Turkey next week. There are 10 of us going on a gulet, a crewed sailing boat for a weeks trip along the coast. The others are Nickis boyfriends family so it will either mean we never want to meet again or get on well.
As I'm not too good on rough seas I hope that we have calm waters.
Hope to hear from you soon.
