I have been quiet on here for the last week or so as my father was rushed into hospital (at my insistence) with breathing problems.
After being admitted to Critical Care, he is now finally able to have his extra oxygen feed reduced without ill-effects.
He lives in Birmingham, England; I live South of London, so this is about a 2.5 to 3 hour journey for me each time I visit.
I'll be back up there for Christmas; hopefully he''ll be able to go home a week or two later given his improvement.

I visited my local store in Croydon today for only the second time. I opened the first Croydon store some 32 years ago. I was impressed that the manager remembered me from my first visit months ago.
Then again we did have a good chat and I doubt he gets many visitors dressed in tweeds. He remembered my chosen army too (World Eaters).
Great service.

I was in a Shop in Brighton, England yesterday (it sold , , stuff) and the woman running the shop remarked upon my Doctor Who hoody (well it was Doctor Who Day).
She said she was "old enough to remember the first Doctor.. the one with the scarf in the mid 70s"
I had to correct her somewhat.
She was shocked when I said it had been going since 1963.
Wrong person running the shop it seems.
