Yesterday was a good day, it began with recriminations of being stuck in a chair all the previous day but it got better. I did much exercise which ended with my physio saying that a family member of his knew who I was and that the work I have been doing down the years is very important and that people like me should be valued highly; that made my day. I am still suffering from pain in my spine but it does not stop me learning to walk with a zimmer frame. The day ended with my eldest son Robert taking me for a wheel chair ride around the hospital, old pictures on the wall revealed that we were on the site of the old West Park women’s hospital which was where my two boys were born. He also phoned my brother Sid on his mobile phone so that I could chat with him, so all in all a good day.

I keep up with current affairs through the newspapers that my good lady wife brings in every day, one of those papers being the Morning Star which is celebrating it’s 80th birthday this week, a fabulous achievement considering the trials and tribulations it has had to go through over the years. It does a very important job for the working man and long may it continue, it leads the fight against Gordon Brown and all the other nuclear maniacs who threaten us daily, I urge all of you to read it as often as you can. Until next time, keep the faith.
