Sheila and I got back from our “Along The South Coast” trip on Wednesday pretty tired but happy that it went so well meeting up with all the people we had to see. We both thought that it went really well and hope that the relations we met are all happy having seen us together.
We had a wonderful time on the Saturday in glorious sunshine in Old Portsmouth with Robyn , Tony and Annie. Later we heard that Tony has got an all clear from the conditions from which they thought he was suffering which in the end turned out to be nothing. It’s just a pity that the medical profession nowadays has to tell you the worst to avoid being accused later of not warning you of the worst possibility. It caused so much heartache for Tony and Robyn but it’s all resolved now, thank goodness.
On Sunday we met up with Sheila’s daughter, Jane, and her husband, Russell, at a lovely quiet pub just outside Midhurst and on Monday we drove over to Brighton to revisit places we both remembered from earlier years and to meet up with her elder brother, David, at their home in Ovingdean.
We went to London by train on Tuesday and went to see a wonderful exhibition of Royal manuscripts at the British library and ended up in a tapas bar near Waterloo to have another lovely, but unbelievably noisy meal with Jane and Russell before getting the train back to Petersfield. We drove back to Bentham on Wednesday and yesterday Sheila drove home to Leitholm.
Today, I went to see the nurse to have the tests done for my annual check. Blood pressure absolutely normal and the other results come through later.
Brindley has been staying in kennels while we were away and luckily for her I do not see her being put in again for some time; she doesn’t know that yet – I wish there was some way to tell her but then she is only a dog!!!
Loads of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ from Robert.
This blog is still being posted every Friday around tea time.

Not quite nothing.... Tony has had sarcoidosis which is a moderately rare condition affecting 19 / 100,000 people and can be chronic. Tony has luckily had the minor version which has lasted about 3 years and can now explain all manner of things that were never explained properly before. Follow up in 4 months and we see how he is then...
