This time last year I was up to see my dad on and off and of course, it was the end of the business too and all very distressing. We went to the Hotel for the meal and I think I may have gone off just after that. It is coming up a year in July when Dad passed away and I'm really very pleased that mum has got on with things and she is getting out and about and tomorrow she comes down to stay with us for a few days and will come with me to the dinner at the Spa Hotel. Needless to say, it will be her first experience of anything like this and I've been in Freemasonry for 30 years. My dad never travelled well and wasn't a great socialiser and didn't particularly enjoy dressing for dinner or any of that fuss.
It will be nice to have mum for a few days and we have the Bank Holiday too so it will make a nice weekend which is just long enough (for both of us). I pick her up tomorrow from the Ebbslfeet International Station - it is great as she can get off at Kings Cross and walk to the next station and get on a train that takes a less time than it does for me to drive there from London. Amazing High Speed 1 Javelin Trains.
I may write less with her around as her room is opposite my office :-) I'm feeling a little sore today around my middle - I guess internal bruising and readjustments going on. At least it isn't painful more uncomfortable I guess. I printed off the first week's blood glucose tests and will probably do a few more over the coming days. They appear to be in the right order. My Blood pressure is a different matter altogether as it isn't as low as it has been but it still isn't bad. It compares to last year's readings and things haven't got worse but I was expecting a lowering with this diet I'm on. Perhaps I just need to bring in some more exercise. If I get this job I'll certainly be able to do plenty of exercise in walking to and from the stations and the work and home locations - around 3 to 4 miles a day I think.
