I spent the morning at PC World assisting Ron Bingley to select a PC and printer.  We bought what I hope was a pretty good package for around  £450. Certainly the PC is 10 times the size of my laptop, i.e. 320 gigs, far more than he will  ever need.

I decided to walk no more than 15 holes with the geriatrics today in the hope that when it came to lunch I would not be too exhausted to feed myself. I did indeed manage without assistance. Whether that was due to the shorter walk  I know not.

I do know that I was surprised to learn from another MND sufferer recently that he has good days and bad days and if he is facing a fairly heavy day ahead he usually rests up the day before.

I have never really considered this before but I suppose the same could well apply to me and maybe that’s the reason why, last week at the golf lunch I had to be fed. My approach, on the whole has always been to ignore my disability and go flat out  as long as I am able. Maybe I should change my ways!

Time, I think, for some more irrelevant material.. To the Jokes section I have added:

The Thoughtful Husband: 23 really awful Oldies and If  we only knew for sure and to the Photo section Beautiful China: Nature in Splendid Colour and Spectacular !!  From Mars Lander!! – these last three are really something beautiful to behold.

My good friend Duncan (Rix) came out today and set up my new AbilityNet computer and tidied up the whole system for me. He did a great job. Obviously the new computer is faster and more up-to-date than my old Toshiba. I have been given the latest version of Dragon Naturally -which should enable me to do almost everything by voice activation. AbilityNet  have also kindly given me an excellent goose neck microphone which is far more sensitive than the one I used previously and as a result seems to be virtually 100% accurate.
