Very sad about your sister.

I hope the medics can sort her out this time as well.

Thanks, that's really appreciated. I know that my sister has a hospital appointment next week. Just have to wait and see.

Sorry to read about your sister, hope the treatment works, but don't forget to look after yourself as well.

I'm very sorry to read about your Sister. Hope the medication works well. Take care of yourself buddy.

By the way, I love cornwall. I've spent summer holidays in Cornwall last year. Went to Penzance, Saint Michaels mount, Lands End, Saint Ives, Polperro, etc. etc. We stayed in Looe. Lovely place on earth!

As David says, Looe is a cracking place.

I used to visit some friends there in the 60s, and Vic ran a company that took rod fisherman out to various bays in the area and collected them later in the day. I used to drive some of his boats and those fishermen were always in a hurry. GREAT fun.

Thanks for your kind words and wishes, I will pass them along.
I 've just got back from the Princess Pavilion in Falmouth, it's run by the council. There's a bar, bandstand, loads of benches, sunken gardens and various plants. Even flowers that are supposed to bloom in August are out. There's a Mediterranean feel about the place. Right down the end of the grounds is the sea with panoramic views of Falmouth Harbour and Swanpool beaches.
They had a local band playing sea-shanties, some of the people got up and danced, it's free entry although parking is very limited but there's plenty of buses that stop outside
My arms and face are turning brown, sleeping isn't a problem and the birdsong is amusing.

I didn't get much sleep last night my bladder had other ideas probably from all the tea that I have been drinking during the day.
I have to admit that the Cornish pasties taste better than the ones up in London and so does the ice cream although the prices are about the same.
The castle has had most of the guns removed and its really a barracks,  one day I will visit it but not this time.
Just taking things easy.

Monday 19th May 2025

The morning was spent assembling a 'Gift in a Tin', something vaguely resembling a twin engined propeller fighter made out of materials resembling Meccano with a screwdriver plus spanner.
The instructions weren't very useful but four hours later it was built. After lunch I walked with my mum to Kimberly Park which is off Kimberly Park Road. The gardens are pleasant with a lily pond at one end, bandstand and a children's climbing/playground area. Plenty of different trees, the tea hut was closed.
On our return I was given the task of putting together a metal peacock for my mum's garden and setting up the solar powered fountain.
I'm now listening to Sara Cox on BBC radio 2,dinner is being prepared.
