  1. Blinking Ada Phil, I now know how you feel about going up the loft!

     

    fired with enthusiasm, after elevenses,  I decided to go upstairs and have a sort out, but was so knackered with the effort of getting up there, I must have spent best part of an hour just sitting in my chair  before I could summon the energy to actually do anything. 
     

    I achieved  the square Root of eff all, and thought ‘poor Phil, this is how he’s been feeling for ages, but he still goes on, so stop feeling sorry for yourself and get a grip’
     

    anyway, just a thank you for your unintentional inspiration !

      Yo. Bloody CV19; knackers you I have been told from some people I know that have had the damn thing. You be careful.  If you go up there, spend half an hour recovering and looking at some books, then do half an hour activity or a bit more if you feel fine, then haver a ponder for ten minutes before you come back down, that might be a start?

      Sad thing is that if I had loads of dosh I would have been examined from top to toe and given every test you can think of, 'diagnosed' and maybe sorted years back. As it is, the poor old NHS are super but really only fire fighting, especially GPs!  OK if I had a busted limb or some sort of 'common' condition like (say) Diabetes, then I would have been dealt with. LIke my Arthritic Hip, I had MRI and all the works, then told to wait until I couln't sleep for discomfort and tyhey they would consider a hip op. Fair enough.

      As it is the NHS doesn't seem great at exploring mystery sort of things that could be happening. I am finding out more myself every so often but it is taking years!

      So, what was CV19 like if I may ask? I don't think I've had it but who bloody knows eh?

  2. I always enjoy your alternative musings - just wondered if you'd ever fancied adding a Southern 2-8-0?

      Hi, Sorry not to have visited my page and replied to your note, I will have a look at what might have been done. I wonder who of the constituents would have wanted a 2-8-0, but I'm presuming a small class for the Kent coalfields, so a modified N class?
