STARTING WITH
Jess Daisy White MPharm:
Best news of late was that our granddaughter, Jess White, has obtained a Master of Pharmacy degree: a First, too. Currently she is set on a tour of Europe (couple of days Copenhagen etc. etc.) Needless to say we are delighted for her and immensely proud of her. Richly deserved, my lovely, very well done.
So, whilst we are embracing nepotism, let's mention Neil W. Barnden:
The Computer Lifeboat Captain, immersed as he constantly is in a demanding work schedule (don't be fooled, producing computer games is not a doddle), once more turned out the lifeboat to pull me off the treacherous rocks of technology.
In the process he valiantly attempted to impart
a smidgin of computer sense (some hopes) into his father's IT
resistant brain. Glad to say I did pick up on a bit of it, including
the advice that Google would not be bothered by the pictures I print
so long as they are not pornographic. Well, they never are. And to
quote the late Hylda Baker: “I say that without fear of
contraception.”
Whatever, we have never lived in each other's pockets, so it was good to see our Neil again.
It was good, too, to welcome dear friend
Anne Wilkening for a short stay.
(If I could find a picture I'd publish it)
She came from Cornwall last weekend: sang in Portsmouth Cathedral on the Saturday, lunched out with us on the Sunday, visited Pompey's Mary Rose Museum with us on Monday and, before I could so much as open another bottle, had gone back home. The Mary Rose is a splendidly presented, truly moving, experience and Anne's brief company was, as always, a delight.
Last but by no means least, Roz Barnden:
Our Roz has put her house up for sale. It is a nice three-bedroomed semi with off road parking for two vehicles and a long back garden at the end of which stands a fine summerhouse. Should sell easily enough, but this is the Island. Enough said. We can only hope for her. The dog Buddy will be back with us tomorrow.
And that's it from the
personal home front.
The usual mixed bag next time.
