40th Birthday!! (Danny, not me)

July 17th, 2009 No comments

After doing a good 4 hours at work, I was fairly tired… Danny popped in on his way home from his morning / early afternoons sporting events (disc golf, adventure golf, boule(?) and pool). He thanked everyone for their presents and cards, and then he went back home to change, and Mum and Dad went to Sainsburys.

Fracture Clinic

July 16th, 2009 No comments

I did not go to work today, as I was going to the hospital. My check in time was 1:55pm, but Mum and Dad were busy this morning at the field, so I did not want them to come and fetch me from work.

Quiz Time

July 15th, 2009 No comments

I got back from work at 5:45pm, and got changed. Gina picked me up at 5:55pm, and we went off to the Thai Elephant in Warwick for a meal. It is Danny’s birthday on Friday, and his mum came along, as well as a friend of Gina’s.

Nearly there.

July 14th, 2009 No comments

It is nearly time for the X-Ray at Warwick Hospital. I am now thinking that they will find something wrong, and not allow me to start putting proper weight on my leg. Hopefully, that is just a bit of negative thinking on my behalf. At the weekend, I stood on the scales with my right leg, and on the floor with my left. I made the scales read 5 stone (32Kg), and there was no pain whatsoever. That, I hope, is a good indication. We will see in a couple of days. Apart from that, it was the same old stuff today.

A Monday

Alan picked me up at 6:50am. Went to work. Came back again. Went to bed.

Sometimes, there is nothing to say about a day…

Webber’s Day

July 12th, 2009 No comments

It was a bit of a disappointing race for English supporters. 18th for Hamilton was not the comeback that was promised yesterday, and 5th for Button was not so good either. However, for Webber, it was a fantastic day, and weekend! He has been plugging away for 8 years, threatening the top spot. I remember him coming 5th for Minardi in 2002 at the Australian GP in his first ever race.

Tyres seemed to be a problem for the Brawn team, and one can only hope that Hungary is much hotter than Germany, and they can get some heat in the tyres.

Jenny and Joe were out with Mum and Dad during the GP, and they came back later for some food. I also spoke to Alan. He is back and is going to give me a lift. However, he has had his hours reduced to 40 per week, so it looks like I will be doing the same. It does mean I get an extra 30 minutes in bed in the morning though.

First Saturday

July 11th, 2009 No comments

My first Saturday since starting work, and I woke up at 6:30am. I checked the weather forecast, and it said it was raining. Not good, as Dad was moving the Ferguson 35 to the tractor shed at the field. A friend was going to bring his trailer over, and wasn’t going to do it in the rain.

Half Day Friday

July 10th, 2009 No comments

This morning I was very tired when I woke up. Probably because it is the first week I have done at work. Anyway, Dad picked my up at 12:00pm, and I was glad that it was not 5:00pm again.

1 week to go…

July 9th, 2009 No comments

It is one week until my return to Warwick Hospital for the fracture clinic. I am hoping that all is going well, and that I will be given the all clear to start putting weight on my leg. Read more…

7 Weeks ago…

July 8th, 2009 No comments

It is 7 weeks since my operation on my leg. It seems to be ok, even after 3 days in the office, and I get more of a workout there than at Mum and Dad’s. Things at work are ok, and there is plenty to be getting on with. Again, more comments about my hair today, including the comedy nickname of “Rapunzel”.

The Kozi Quiz was done, and with the help of Mum, Dad, Gina and Brian, we came second to the Shiraz Sisters. This time was a bit closer. We got 60 points, and they got 64. Danny only came in at the end, and missed all of the quiz. With his help we might have got enough to win, but who knows.
