    Wheelchair Services wore me out but both p.a.s were on fine form even though one was in the throes of a lingering tonsillitis

    hydrotherapy very much appreciated as ever. Slow cooked casserole that couldn't be beat. Stomas both calmed down

    Catheter change was exceedingly painful and bloody, despite stoking up [sic] on pain killing drugs. Feeling battered, bruised and not a little sorry for myself

    Big thanks to my brother, sister-in-law and 2 young nieces (5 and 2) who ran 4 miles for MND Scotland, this weekend.
    Also to my sister, who ran the Manchester 10k today because I can't. Went to see her run then for a meal. Poor daughter stayed home revising for biology gcse tomorrow

    saw Fairport Convention with the amazing Chris Leslie tonight. I really enjoyed it but shed few tears when I couldn't join in. If there was ever a musician, whose style I tried to emulate, it was he.
