that week

Saturday a gentle start to the to the day and we relax together, mental note made to take things easier have clearly been overdoing it. Which is never a good idea. Off to Borders and Argos to get a laminator and then lunch in Damons we act like a chilled family. Fall asleep in the afternoon then send Jean to pick Nanna up. Very tired

Friday
Doesn't start well and gets worse, feeling very sick send myself home very ropey. An awful lot of vomiting and then feeling goosed a s a result.
Thursday.
Off to see the trainers at Newhall in the offices of North PCT – their boardroom no less. A good conversion but Newhall is still one strange gaff. Very odd place a row of cottages facing each other a variety of uses through the years but it still retains its institutional feel. I feel strangely at home there after my extensive training at the now demolished Winwick Hospital.
Back to the works and it’s a cheerful gig with informatics meets prescribing. We get on well with Clare Lisa Sharon and the rest of the gang, at least now we understand better what they are about.
I stand Stella and Ann up (sorry mates) but needs must when the paperwork is piling. Meet with Robin Ireland from Herart of mersey an allround good guy who gives me a few things to think about.
Then its off to Hammy NCP treat, costing me a fortune.
Home inevitable lasagna and chill.


Wednesday.
Have to dip out of a meeting with Fran and Veronica to take part in the payroll review group. After that it’s the Richmond tavern with Keith an auditor who is surprising good company for an auditor. Sorry to diss an entire profession but speak as you find I say.
Then its off to Hammy House for a demo of a training database software package, still it runs on .net and I understand that a bit.
Home and chill.


Tuesday.
In the office for most of the day , turgid experience catching up but getting on top of a few things at last. Caught up with Christine about the Desktop roll out she truly has done a sterling job and got us on target in the end. Top stuff, she has really shown an excellent skill set and it has been a pleasure to be part of her development.
Then its off to see Jon Consultant Physician and Lecturer at the university. Cool dude and we hit it off straight away. He helps John Wilding run the obesity management clinic at Walton where I was treated for 2 and a bit years. We talk for ages but the time passes real quick. Heaps of stuff is covered he and I are off the the same National Obesity Forum gig next week so it cool to catch up before the conference.
What did we cover well easier to say what we didn’t cover.
Academic research into obesity surgery and the lack of quality work.
On being fat and being treated and recovering.
The Trial that he wants me to be on the steering committee of.
All sorts of stuff really enjoyable and the time just flies.
Then its off home via Sainsbury Walton, I only have time for a pasta salad as at 8 it’s the first meeting of the cell. A good group of geezers, with a good sense of humour and a deeply spiritual focus. We meet at Franks surgery and after a discussion we wander round praying in many rooms. Seems a bit odd but most refreshing spiritually
