Toast and coffee for breakfast and discharged from hospital following the ward round at nine o’clock. The staff on Ward 7 at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital are really nice.
It’s nice to be back home, a quiet day spent catching up on emails.
David and Hannah visited this evening.
I spent quite an uncomfortable night and when the district nurse visited this morning she referred me back to the hospital where they put me on another course of antibiotics to see if it will clear up the infection that I’ve developed. 🙁 Other than the trip to the hospital a fairly quiet day.
I’m keeping up to date with all the album and print orders that are continuing to come in but I can only work on the computer for short stints, luckily I’m not the sort of person who lets work build up into a backlog.
Lunch at John and Ida’s and shopping at Sainsbury’s in Thornhill. A fairly quiet day.
A fairly quiet day processing print orders. No Welsh class this evening as Julie has the flu. Paul called in this evening and finally remembered to give me my birthday card. 🙂
The antibiotics are so far working well so I’m managing to avoid an immediate visit back to the hospital for more traumatic treatment options. Sent more print orders off to the lab this morning. A visit to the bank to pay in another batch of cheques then on to Piccadilly Photographic in Cardiff to replenish my stock of folders followed by some shopping at Morrisons in Llanishen.
A quiet evening relaxing.
The daily visit from the district nurses to start my day. David called in this morning, ordered some new tyres for the Nissan Patrol, they’ll be ready tomorrow. A fairly quiet day relaxing.
My daily visit from the district nurse. I went out for lunch to John and Ida’s in Pontypridd, it’s nice to get out of the house. 🙂 A quiet day relaxing.
A quiet day at home today. I installed Norton Internet Security 2006 on the desktop pc today, for a few years I stopped using Symantec products as I found they were often a serious resource eater on my computers, however the latest versions seem to perform very well. I’ve now removed AVG anti-virus, Agnitum Outpost Firewall and Spamweed and we’ll see how the more integrated approach in Norton works, so far so good.
I received the Pontypridd Boys Grammar School Old Boys’ Association newsletter in the post this morning from John Kelland which reminded me that I took some photographs last July when the school was open to visitors before it closed. It was quite strange being back there after so many years. There used to be a strong smell of polish throughout the school when I was a pupil there but unfortunately the buildings are now in a rather sad state with a strong smell of damp and dust. Here’s a small selection from the photographs of that visit.
War memorial plaques in the assembly hall.
The Art Room (pretty much unchanged from the 60s/70s).
Rear view of the ‘new’ building.
A mural of the school badges.
The benches from what was the Chemistry Lecture Theatre.
The front of the old building.
Rainfall was once measured daily.
This house was used for sixth form teaching, in the summer croquet was played on the lawn using a rather fine croquet set from Jaques.
A fairly quiet day today, we were invited to Linda’s for an evening meal.
A fairly quiet day doing a few more updates to my web site. A very cold evening with quite a lot of ice on the car.
