Last day of May 2009

I wen to Connect Church in the morning. I cannot remember the sermon, as I dozed off! Either it was boring or I was still tired? These pills that I have started taking for my blood pressure make me a bit drowsy. I went to the Anglican Church again in the evening.. it was good as usual.

First update in a while

I have not updated this blog for a little while. I must be getting forgetful! Lets see, what has happened recently? I saw the new "Star Trek" movie last Saturday and it was great. I look forward to the next one. At church on Sunday morning, pastor Russell preached on "authority". It was a good service. Other than that, it has been quiet. I have been taking pills to help my blood pressure. They have made me feel a little drowsy. I am told that that is not unusual for the first week.

A full on Wednesday

Today was a really relaxing Wednesday. I got through Chapter 12 of my Adobe Illustrator Tutorial. I have only three chapters to go, then I start again, to consolidate what i have learned. 

In the evening, the Shiraz club was on again. We met at Rod Geri's house in Junortoun. Peter Fox attended as did Simon Moten. We had a night sitting around the brazier, which was fun. I got the job of providing the wines for next Shiraz night.

Updating after a week

I have been forgetting to update this blog for the past week. About the only thing that was interesting was my visit to the Doctor last wednesday. He told me that my glucose levels were ok but my urine test showed that some protein has been leaking into my urine. That is probably because of the high blood pressure. He told me to have a kidney scan done, which I will have to arrange this week. He also got upset at me for not taking the blood pressure pills.

On thursday morning I ran into Russell Treloar on the street and we stopped and had a nice chat. It was good to see him again.

A disappointing wednesday

I went back to the Doctors today. I was very disappointed to find out that I have not lost any weight and my blood pressure did not improve at all. I felt very angry, especially after all the exercise i have put in lately. It seems i need to do more or I will not lose any weight.

We had the Shiraz group once again at Trevor's house. We just sat around the fire and talked. It was a good night although Kevin Furness was not there. Peter Fox came for the first time. At least the day ended better than it started.

Funeral of an old friend

This week, my good friend Colin Pilcher passed away after a fall at his home. I have known Colin for more than 40 years and it was sad to se...
