Having installed solar panels years ago and more recently getting a second hand electric car, I’m expanding my renewable energy journey with a heat pump. The solar panels have been the best investment I ever made and I love my electric car too, so cheap to run and I will never go back to polluting …
This might be my last Christmas selling. I’ve really enjoyed my glass painting business but all the changes with social media, constant updates etc, I find it hard to keep up. Everything takes me longer too and with my health challenges, I’m ready to wind down the business or at least have a long pause. …
It’s that time of year when my local art group has their exhibition in Topsham school. There are a large variety of paintings to see and buy, with regular comments on the high standard. So if you’re in the Devon area I’d recommend a visit. It’s on every day 10-5pm, until midday Saturday 24th Aug, …
I’m excited to say I have an art exhibition in The Cafe in Topsham for the month of June. It’s a lovely Cafe on Fore Street and each month they have a different artist displaying their work. Such a great idea for both artists and customers who get to see and buy a variety of …
Thank you if you’ve been following my 30 day challenge in April, to write up my teenage diary and raise awareness of Pituitary conditions. I can’t believe it’s the last day of April already and I’m relieved that I didn’t miss a day! The Pituitary Foundation will also be very grateful for any donations, being a …
Ke and I had a little wander around the hospital, as we were both feeling a bit restless, so I pushed her in her wheelchair. I remember the next days well now, which is good, as I’m looking through dad’s notes a month later. I had a good lunch again, which I certainly appreciated! I …
Mum arrived at Great Ormond Street Hospital at 8.30am this morning (she was good wasn’t she, as mum usually gets up an hour later, if that). Dad’s written that I had a new head bandage. He and my brother arrived at 2.30pm, after a large meal at ‘My Old Dutch’ the pancake place. Dad very …
I had a head scan at the National Hospital this morning and we arrived a bit late, so there was a mixup, as someone else had taken our turn. The problem was my nurse J was expected back quite soon, but we now had to wait. I was extremely thirsty and luckily could have a …
Written up 24th May 1984 using dad’s notes. I had a bath this morning, which I remember quite well and it was nice at the time but I felt so tired afterwards. It drained me, even though it wasn’t that hot. Mum pushed me around the nearby park in a wheelchair and it was very …
Writing this up on 24th May 1984. I’m feeling much better (so dad’s written) and I had my stitches out, hurray! I still had to wear a bandage though but in a way I felt better with one on, especially when going outside, as I was afraid of bits getting in my hair. S came …
