Well my dad had a bowel scan a couple of weeks ago and he was called back for an appointment yesterday and well we feared the worst. On a plus point he was told not to worry he did not have bowel cancer but he had an enlarged vain or artery in his stomach. After he got home he got a call to get a blood thinning injection at his local doctors.

Today he was taken to ARI in a community bus for another scan. In the afternoon he was told he does not require injections over the weekend and he is back into ARI on Monday again.

In a way I'm pleased but still a wee bit concerned for him since well we don't really know what to expect next.

Anyway onward and upward life must go on...

Tomorrow I need to go and clear out a shed of his "junk" which has been stored in a shed at a friend of his and mine at Skene. Snow has brought down a silage pit roof and this shed will need to be disposed of..heaven knows what treasures I will find in there :-\

Traci was well impressed with your veg Mark. I have to say, once I got your onions in my hands I was quite taken aback by the size of them too. . . . ! :D:P

:D :D .. I missed this post... thanks Tris... Mrs F says... and I quote... "Whilst his onions may be impressive.. his Courgette better fits the description of midget gherkin"  >:(

Seeing Two Sisters Farm and meeting its creator, Peter.  It is better "in the flesh" as there is so much tiny detail that cannot be seen in photos and I am still entranced by the tree.

Drove to Newbury yesterday (all of 24 minutes) to visit the Model Railway exhibition at the Park House School.  Spent an enjoyable few hours viewing the layouts and [mostly] gossiping with Pete and his friend.  What was better still; I was allowed to drive it!  Now that was really great fun as, despite being a sexagenarian, I am a child at heart! 

Thanks Peter!
