Hello everybody

I hope you are all enjoying this wonderful summer weather, I think it is even better than last year. As you can see from the picture that Ted posted we are making the most of it. Peter declined a day out as he felt that he might have problems making the transition from the dingy onto the boat (he is getting on a bit now i suppose). Anyway Ted did’nt have any problems, did you big brother? Ha Ha!  Lets just say it was fortunate that i had some spare clothes on board.

Every one in this family of the Talbot tribe is OK apart from Janette who has been suffering with a form of dizziness for about six months now. She had a stay in hospital for about five days but they never got to the root of the problem. She has an ear problem since a cold last Christmas and they suspected that it had affected the vestibular system to but no treatment has done any good. She is due to go for an op to fit a grommet next week. Our doctor on the other hand suspected that there was compression of the spinal cord due to spondylosis in her neck but this was eliminated after an MRI scan. She is also due to have another MRI on the lumber region soon. (Don’t ask why they could not have done it in one go, but thats the NHS for you!!) Personally I think this is the problem as she also has funny (not Ha Ha) feelings and unsteadyness in her legs and as the brain takes balance info from pressure sensors in the feet and muscles of the legs any interference of these signals (spinal cord compression) might be confusing the brain (as if Janettes brain is’nt confused enough - ouch! - sorry dearest).

 Anyway thats enough about Janette, its ME i want to talk about - only kidding. I hope everybody else is in good health and enjoying life. You can work your life away and make lot’s of money and buy lot’s of things but when it comes to the crunch if you have not got good health and contentment then it is all pointless.

I wish you all every blessing.

Lots and lots of love from us lot.

Andrew
