After 7 or 8 months of scans, X-rays, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, I had an appointment with the oncologist today to discuss the progress so far.
I was expecting a favourable result and the reduction of appointments to a...

A few months ago I had a new fence built to separate the front and rear gardens. However, it did not take long for the bolt to become damaged, thus making it impossible to keep closed.
Despite being a very simple job, I am unable...

This rather bizarre sounding name is the title given to the latest release of Ubuntu operating system. Each new version has been given a name along with the version release number.

In days gone by I could perform a complete reinstall and load programs in a fairly short period of time, although that has changed vastly over the years. Now that I am using Windows 10 it takes longer and also utilises a greater...

Wherever I go there is always a great deal of people begging for money and claiming to be homeless. I know for a fact that the majority of them are not homeless and this really annoys me.
I can fully understand a genuinely...

Once again New Year has arrived
And Auld Lang Syne is revived
There is no way to know
What next year will bestow
Of such knowledge we are deprived
At midnight a new year descends
As the present one finally ends
I have one thing...

Occasionally operas are transmitted on British television, which suits me because I do like opera. However, I do have a pet hate concerning the actual timing. For most of the year it would not matter, but during periods such as...

Like most people I receive my share of unsolicited telephone calls. These days the majority are questionnaires, which I never agree to and always answer “No” then immediately hang up the telephone.
Today I received the most...

For the past week several members have been posting about heavy snowfalls. This did not matter to me because it seems a long while since we had any real snow over here, which suits me fine.
However, someone appears to have got...

Yesterday I received a text message from my Doctor’s surgery reminding me about my appointment tomorrow at 11-45 AM. It seemed strange because I have no prior knowledge of any appointment.
Naturally I telephoned the surgery to ask...

My experience has usually been that companies will offer a variety of payment options in order to get your cash.
My home insurance is due to expire this month and rather than simply renew I considered changing my insurer. Earlier...

As usual the Royal Mail has issued a series of Christmas postage stamps this year. I have a few Christmas cards to main overseas, so I decided to purchase the Christmas issue stamps for this purpose.
I was aware that they were...

Today proved to be rather interesting. It began with being invited into a cubicle where the nurse explained in detail what would happen during the treatment. This seemed a little superfluous since I had previously been told what...

No, I have not finally taken the advice to wear a mask for the protection of the public, this is a mask designed for my forthcoming radiotherapy treatment.
As part of my appointment at Oldham hospital today, they warmed a plastic...

Christie hospital lived up to their reputation today by making me wait as usual. I arrived at 1-45 PM and gave a blood sample at 2-15 PM, quite good so far. Of course I then had to wait until shortly after 5 PM to see the...

Over recent years I have managed to travel quite regularly, both here in the United Kingdom and overseas. This provided me with the opportunity to find postcards in many places last year, which I sent to a few friends here at...
