Well we have arrived home from Weymouth the weather had turned nasty (drizzle & Fog) not good so we left at 7.30 and made good time home it was very quiet for a Bank holiday.

This is Benji Joanna's naughty little cat in Weymouth( Jo lives with Stuart in Wymouth and Rhiannon the eldest has her own flat in Southborough with Ashley), we all love him but he is very good at scratching and clawing being a Kitten he cannot help himself 'that's the cat not Ashley' by the way .

Jo and Stuart are both hoping to buy a House next year 2010 they are saving hard and we as parents think quite rightly it would be a good thing, with any luck it will not be in Weymouth as it is not the nicest of seaside towns away from the tourist side of things it is a bit rough and run down. still you can only hope for the best for your off spring. theit flat is nice and airy though with 2 Bedrooms Kitchen & Large living room.

last bank holiday of the year now Autumn is in the air and everyone back to work tommorrow, I have to go for a medical in Croydon on Wednesday to see if I am legible to receive benefits while awaiting the Heart Bypass, not looking forward to going up there much but its not that far. quiet evening today bit of TV and not much else , tired from the journney and driving still need to get a early night.

I am now writing this Blog from our eldest daughters Flat that she shares with Stuart in Weymouth, I have Finally got to grips with her laptop and have been surfing to wile away a couple of hours as the weather is overcast and chilly, typical August Bank Holiday weather.

Jo and Stuart have gone to Tonbridge and we have come done here for a few days as a kind of house swop thing, we have Benji with us who is Jo's cat and at only 2 months old is full of mischief and into everything but we all love him to bits, its the same through all the family we all love animals and maybe more than humans, my Dad stopped working with cattle and sheep because he could not no longer see them born nurture them and then see them off to the Abattoir.

Myself and Judy have been a bit edgy towards each other especially yesterday, I think waiting for this op and spending a lot of time together is not doing us much good. still its a break and we are off home tomorrow (bank hol Monday)

Well here we are ! creating a kind of Diary which I hope is something I can keep too as my track record of staying with one subject is pretty thin, but I think this one is worth it.

At this moment in time in my 53rd year I am at home awaiting a Heart Bypass, I have been to Hospital ( Kent & Sussex ) 8 weeks ago now due to a suspected 2nd heart attack, had the first one in April 2001, this all runs in the family on my Mothers side and there has been known of relatives to fall over at the Kitchen table dead in the past, so it is not by any coincidence that my Mothers brother and sister have had a triple bypass of their own,them both being some what older than myself, I feel to young to go through all this , to some 52 may seem old but when you get here it is not, especially in the good health service we have today.

So today I have been to my GP who is in charge of the 'out patient ' side of things while awaiting a date to be admitted to St Thomas Hospital in London , He has given me another 4 weeks off of work. I will say collecting benefits does not sit well being the old school type but I am looking upon it as 6 months off of work and seeing as I have been working since I was sixteen , got married ,bought up a family, had two nervous breakdowns and two heart attacks as mentioned I Think I am owed some time off cautiously of Mrs Windsors government and the contributions I have paid.
