Up early again, to the sound of a very raucous, Dawn Chorus!! They really are happy little fellas' now, compared to this time last week.

My wife, managed to get a GPs apt, for around 9, this morning. Knee still swollen. Will the diagnosis be a "Bakers' Cyst". Spoke to my big sis, last night. She used to work as a , Radiography Secretary, and says she has written up, dozens ( seriously no bakery pun, intended this time, honest ), of Ultrasound scan reports, involving "Bakers' Cysts". Not long to find out.

My wife has a hospital apt, late next week, reviewing her Psoriatic Arthritis and severe joint pain and swelling is common, with this condition. We're not a very lucky family, health wise!! What with Colette and her problems, my two children ( by my first wife ), both inheriting, Huntingdons' Disease, from their mother, my son Antony, has become very ill, with HD, now and my daughter, Hayley, who will go on to develop the illness, in a while. I myself, having had a Haemorrhagic Stroke, two years ago, we really have had a bad run, of it lately. But my children, manage to brush it off and refer to themselves as , "Raspberry Ripples":D

They truly are an inspiration to me!!

In weather news, overnight model runs, still hinting at a colder spell, possibly developing, towards next weekend.

Until then, low pressure very much bossing the synoptic pattern, in the Eastern Atlantic.

Would be nice to see the Cotswolds, blanketed in snow next week, at the Cheltenham Festival.

It certain,y does sound like a Bakers Cyst. I had to have all the tests as my knee swelled up recently. No idea why. Still don’t know why! Best of luck.

Still some snow hanging around here, no idea how when it feels so much milder. 

Looks like we have a week or two of rain, maybe the odd interesting storm then a possible cold patch. Spring on hold.

Wife's  GP, thinks it probably is a " Bakers Cyst" but Colette will know more, when she sees her Rheumatologist, at the end of next week.

We then had a fair walk, up to Downham Way, to take bus to Sainsburys Saver Centre. During the walk, I managed to tweak, a muscle, in my left calf, for about the fourth  time, in  six months. Very painful!.

Colette got talking to a woman, on the bus. She asked Colette, " How long have you been looking after your Dad?", meaning me!!:D 

Now I am, ten years older than Colette and after my stroke, probably look older than 62 and Colette has recently had her coloured and looks younger, than 52 but that comment was a bit of a "kick in the teeth!!" i always joke that, in our wedding photos, I do look as if, I'm her Dad, giving her away! :D

We've spent some of the afternoon, watching McMafia, on catch-up tv. A brilliant series, if you havn't seen it!

In weather news, 12z runs show lows dumb belling, around each other, in the NE Atlantic, reluctant to clear east, to allow a colder flow, to enter the UK. Shame, as we have decent heights, to our NW and NE but too far away, to influence our weather.

Reading the Met. O. outlook, they seem to want to restrict any colder, outbreak, to the north of the UK.

Regards,

Tom.

Went yesterday to check out my mother's house in Southwold. She is now 102 and now living in a home that annoys her.

Lot of drifts melting back from A12 near Blythburgh on way up from Essex

Southwold still suffering from stroppy gulls. Nice to see a falconer there scaring them away from Adnams brewery and Swan hotel.  Nice Adnam's doing something that helps the surrounding residents even if not intended. I was fed up with obnoxious guys dumping on my mother's house.

Tom, Southernman was 20 years older than me but looked older than his years (and i look younger than i am) and he was always being mistaken for my dad and one day i left my keys at home so he dropped them at work for me, the security man brought them over to me and said !your grandad brought your keys in!" We always had a good laugh about it.

Well if you think it is doing well I hope your mother (and you and your family) do not have to go though it.

My mother was very independent and use to visit the old people in a local home in her late 80's. She said on numerous occasion. God if I ever end up sitting in a chair in a room with several others not knowing what is happening please shoot me. Well mother you are and I can't. 

When I regularly call to see her she thinks I am my elder brother who died last October.

At least the Home is good. Costs £1,000 a week. So any prudent savings will soon be used up. 

So sad and a real strain on the family.

I meant she was doing well to have reached the age of 102.My own mother and father have been dead for years.
