Diary Summary for April 2025
« on: Tuesday 01 April 25 08:25 BST (UK) »
I'll start a new thread for April, even though it looks like people prefer the weekly!

Haven't spotted any April Fools stories so far - but then I haven't been looking.
Anybody else spot any?

Found one!

IOM Airport to be renamed?

A snip:
Some of the other features will include a dedicated gold-plated parking space for Sir Mark to use, as well as a cycle lane through security.

My dealings with the Health Service continue . . . .

Monday I have an appointment to see the "Elderly Persons" Clinic. What used to be called the Geriatric Clinic!

Next up is a Pre-Anaesthetic Check.
Then later in the month a visit to Urology, to deal with bladder stones.

This getting old lark is a bundle of laughs, eh?

Unfortunately we can't do much about it, old age just creeps up, the worst bit of getting old I find is the sleepless nights,  becoming monotonous to be honest, most nights up for at least 2 hours, ah well,

Even a greater danger on the roads are the POTHOLES. I agree an exercise bike is safer.

I spent last week volunteering at the Isle of Man Beer & Cider Festival; where I am the Cider/Perry Bar Manager.
Monday to Wednesday was spent setting up.
Festival ran Thursday, Friday and Saturday. 12 hour days!
Sunday was Take-Down.

I get to be a barman/manager for 3 days per year, and realise why I couldn't do it as a full-time job! :D
