    1. Where was your last holiday?

    Abroard: Sidari Corfu with GF
    Actual last holiday a long weekend in lake district in December with GF

    2: Where will your next holiday be?

    Maybe a caravan in UK? maybe some sun, dunno yet (with GF)

    3. What was your best break and why?

    Probably going to the States by Concord and the time I spent in Chicago.

    4. And the worst and why?

    Not sure, probably a family holiday in Suffolk, the accomodation was a diaster, we called it tumbledown cottage. All the furniture was ancient from several house clearances by the look of it. If you sat on one of the dodgy sofas too quickly dust would rise.

    A total mess, never cleaned in years apart from bathroom and kitchen surfaces. Sombody should have told them Mr. Hoover had invented the vacume!

    Place was subsiding fast, all floors uneven and door not fitting the frames.

    The telly broke and we were told we would have to pay for a new one. The thing was ancient It had valves and took a week to warm up and the picture disappeared into a white dot when switched off. Dad took care of that with a suitable strong word to the owner.

    Apparently they did not want kids staying there either but we were the only takers (we did not choose it either it was all that was available).

    Stuck in a village 10 miles from the coast.

    But the holiday was good.

    Typical family holiday.
    5. If money were no object, where would you go?

    Have to be about 6 weeks road trip in OZ with GF, whole camper van / motor home thing with weekends spent in hotels for a bit of luxary and a change.

    Flying first class of course.

    And I'd have mobile internet in the motorhome to buy bargins on ebay while I am away,

  • Worry Over

    Phone call from docs, test clear for blood clotting so nothing serious.

    Still swolen and sore, more painful today but no big worries.

  • A bit worried

    Hi all,

    Sorry my serial is on hold at the mo, not sure if I want to carry on with it and have not had the time anyway.

    So put that to one side today i am blogging about my health.

    Yesterday morning I woke up and my right calf was twice the size of the left and aching.

    A little while after getting up the swelling went down a lot and the pain subsided but did not go away.

    Same again this morning.

    I went to the Doc's and they have run an urgent blood test.

    I am worried about a thrombosis (spelling???) a blood clot in my leg.

    Particularly worried as my father died from such a thrombosis which traveled from his leg to his heart killing him pretty much instantly.

    He had just had a heart bypass a few weeks earlier and was a heavy smoker neither of which apply to me and I'm 16 years younger than he was but...

    So I guess I will get a phone call tomorrow from the docs letting me know one way or the other.

    Just worrying thinking you may have a bit of a time bomb ticking in your body and you don't know and therfore cannot treat it.

    Oh well.

    Best wishes to blog friends everywhere.
