Today Phil brought the Guardian and there are articles about Olympic tickets to be released later this year - you register first. 75% for public and not too expensive apparently.
The games are in 2012 and i am going to arrange a rota for family to use QQ and take lifetime opportunity to go to games .
You can catch ferry across from flat at Globe to main area and London will be buzzing.
I think it is likely people will like different events where the ticket's are easier such as horse events, gymnastics , swimming rather than the main arena and athletics. There is volleyball near Downing Street in St James parade.
The web site tells all so have a look later in year.
Phil is very helpful and was here at 10am but had to make do with toast - she has lost weight similar to ma . She went to GP to get prescriptions and then to Coop supermarket and chemist.
On leaving she was laden with Yorkshire tea for Italy plus satnav ,maps and readies! The phrasebook in Italian was ignored so James can swot up - this would have been Grandads duty.
Today was the first time out for nearly 3 weeks and we went to New Inn in Sowerwood on edge moors towards Outlane.
I sat in back as i cannot wear a seat belt until 6 weeks .
The food is great - we had 1/2 meals from Gammon to Lasagna and belly pork for Phil ! plus J2O for £27 - i couldn't manage even 1/2 pint as yet but time will pass although getting bored.!
We water tomato plants each evening in grow bags on patio and they are growing like triffids so should have a crop.
Your work Angela has been like Forth Bridge -make sure they finish this time or no further interim payments until completely finished and inspected . In UK they have this habit of taking on many jobs and flitting around although there is a recession here in building trade and good time for Phil to get her work done .
Ma
we have had a busy day with more thinking than doing although it has made a difference with a cleaner. Phil is very very helpful as we are housebound as i cannot drive the new car yet and Dad can't for 4 weeks when we will go to Kilham as garden flat to walk and village .
We go for a walk everyday a little further but it is very hilly. Dad is getting better every day and we are so pleased with his news.
In my absence James is looking into Burton Agnes weekend at Bluebell Hotel - it looks as though there will be over 20 from Wigan plus us lot so quite a gathering .
You will have worked out that i have nothing to do so filling in blog.
Ask Issie and then Anna to join in about summer experiences plus photos which are easy to insert. There are instructions on google blogger how to do .

Dad is going to live a little longer!
Well well ..
My surgeon Peter Holdsworth telephoned a few minutes with news there was no spread from colon to lymph glands and hence no need for chemotherapy .. really i am surprised as i was counting days .. not quite but you know what i mean.
One way or another i will get to Adams big uni graduation this time and this is a promise..
I don't need to see him for 3 months so your ma and i will arrange a cruise in October and we will go to Australia again for 3 months in winter after new year
We have multiple luxury exchange accommodation in Sydney so you will have to fly out as great place to visit at Easter .
I think Chris out to hire a car as it only costs £150 - you will need to place on insurance - although there will be 2 large cars.
I will send you a copy of Phil's hotel details just in case .. i bought a water polo ball and intended to carry out as know lads would love in large pool - i will see if Phil will carry out.
Chris - are you here for Wembly RL cup final - i think august 29th - we are coming down and not booking meal but £50 tickets for concourse. If you are not available then we may not go as we will be driving and you could help.
I have had another email from Seville - when are we going for exchange - i will ask Phil if she is interested .
James is booking Burton Agnes this week so it will be a great get together and a nice farewell party . I think Tim is also coming.
I am now going to have a glass of Guinness - the sun is out so we shall sit on patio
The Queens Canada trip apparently was a great success - surprised a royalist like you dd not take Adam and Issie to sample their British heritage ..
Love

hi from ottawa
Good idea about the sat nav, I don't have the address of the house but we can figure it out once we see pHil, I don't need a car in the UK as I have hired one for a week. It is nice news about Chris and Mairead, they will have their hands full. They are bringing Mairead's neice to Italy to help with the kids , Chris isn't getting a car so hopefully they will not be too housebound as i am not sure what type of car James is getting
Niagara on the lake was lovely, the gardens were spectacular, it is a hike from here, nearly 7 hours on friday but only 6 hours tonight. The baptism was lovely and afterwards we had a very nice lunch in the hotel, Celia and the kids are coming on tuesday for 3 days as celia's nanny is on vacation, Lucy isn't great with little kids.
Glad that you are getting better, Phil is very good, I am sure that she is looking forward to Italy as we all are
Anna is home in a weeks time , she is on safari for a few days and then she will be going to see some of the sights of Namibia, Issie loved being with the wolves.
love Angela

Sunday 18th july
Sunday has been a non day as time appears eternal, when you are essentially housebound and progress slow. Still your ma and i managed to walk about 1/2 mile today and not tired so i will increase daily . I watched the open golf for many hours.
Niagara on Lake brings back memories - we stopped there when living at Mississauga and took C&M with us to the falls.
I was reminded by your ma, when you Angela did the emergency honours - ma was recovering from her accident and i was in Nuffield - you were with Issie and Kate . Ma says you were good company also and i remember the close examination of my drips etc when you all visited.
James came yesterday with all family including Sara and he had called at M&S for £40 of groceries - the food is top quality as we had steak today for lunch.
He borrowed 3 suitcases for Italy and we gave him a tomato plant.
I have an electronic organ and i offered to Chris but he thought better and similarly with James - i think they both have enough noise at home.
I presume you know Mairead is preggers again -what a surprise! 12 weeks . Chris told Ma when i was in hospital.
William apparently is having speech therapy and i hope there is some improvement . It didn't stop them all jumping and fighting on the couch.
Angela can you give me the precise address of the house - I am sending over my Garmin satnav with Phil, which works in Italy - i will setup main places - Pisa airport / Phil's hotel etc - i have booked a hotel in central Pisa for her and anyone can use .
Phil has a full day here on Tuesday - ma has to go to hospital anticoagulant clinic plus prescriptions from GP and then to chemist . She has bought new summer duvet for us as we are sweltering .
Also James is bringing my 3 chip video camera - all use in turn for a day and i will edit a communal film for all - i will send 2 tapes of 90 mins.
I still haven't heard about histology so do not know if chemo is required - over 6 months.
Mike A emailed and says when up and about we are going to Nont Sarah's for lunch.
We are hoping to get to Kilham sometime to rest and recuperate - Angela do you wish to use any car _ ma and i can take jag and 4x4 down.

hi
We are off to Niagara on the lake this morning, issie and adam are coming under duress as last time we were away adam's friends moved in. We decided at the last minute that they should come with us and they are not very happy about it.
Toronto was great, we stayed at the Royal York which is downtown and the 2 girls could go off by themselves and I walked all over, I enjoyed lady gaga although it was in a hockey arena and the view wasn't that good
Anna called last weekend, she is on the Namibia and Angola border and she had seen a herd of elephants, she has now left the village and they are going on safarii and she will be home in 10 days, I am sure that she has had a great time
I will get Issie to post a picture of herself being licked by a wolf, Issie loved Colorado. She really liked all the conservation stuff and next year wants to go to the Florida keys to do conservation work there
I am glad that you are getting better, I haven't booked PHil a hotel for the 7th, we are going to be in Pisa on the 31st
the weather here is lovely but very warm, the air conditioning is going all the time
remind phil to print out her jet2 reservation
love Angela

Friday 18th
holed up in my office as cleaner is finishing and have to get out of way.
i had to lie down with shock as Adam sent an email to make me envious when he described the location and weather in Santa Barbara - never mind studies but Pacific beckons and hedonistic lifestyle ...
I wonder if Phil has booked hotel for 7th August in Pisa as i would book - you haven't booked one Angela have you . We have stayed in Pisa before an know where to stay for airport and to see sights. There are modest price hotels on expedia - reduced. She has given her order for a few euros!
I will give James tourist books and my Garmin - it has Italy and you can all use when needed. I will offer video camera - very compact but he is always reluctant to take - space etc .
Phil is coming around next week and we have given her our food order plus some bedding to buy . She has had the corolla touched up and looks like new apparently.
The weather is shocking raining bucketfuls - although we need for gardens etc
I have belly ache self inflicted - told to eat non residue food -ok but made a home wholemeal loaf rather solid and after boiled egg for brek pus bread have given me symptoms - pity as nice tasting .
I received an email from Mike A - he wants to ocme around to visit so probaly next week .
Plus we had a call from cleaner at Kilham to say electric had tripped out again and we have lost loads from freezer for 3rd time. An electrician is going to check plus we are having a new extractor fan in kitchen and an FM aerial on roof as reception rubbish.
Ma
I can't keep Dad still as impossible but he is much better when you consider only 2 weeks today and 5 days since he was transfused .
Going to watch open golf again in rain of Scotland - have played at St Andrews and took your Ma just after she finished at All Saints . Rotary job.

Dad day 2!
I know only the Queen has daily updates on medical condition but you know what Dad is like .....
Phil has just been on telephone and told me she is on a "power walk" with her neighbour's tonight finishing up in a boozer for drinks and meal. The mind boggles at the thought . She is going to Manchester on Sunday to meet Sandra and do a little shopping.
Generally well - eating better diet even a little liver - your ma's favourite. Plus we have a huge delivery of ready made meals and i am in process of baking bread as have a machine.
We went for a walk this afternoon down Buckden to the corner but i was cautioned by nursing advise on discharge to remember not to walk until tired as you have to return . Good advise
My Hb is only 10.3G ( normal 15.5G) so pretty anaemic and this will compromise energy but Guinness and steak will soon turn around.
Angela telephoned from Toronto airport - she was accompanying Issie to a concert by Lady Gaga - i did not ask how much she enjoyed . There was a photo of her in weekend paper and it looked as though she was in a woollen mop and likened to Doogle from Magic roundabout .
Our cleaner started today and was excellent - immediately the house is better and she is coming in 6 days a week pro tem. I have not enjoyed answering telephone as there has been over 50 replies and some desperate for the money - £120 a week cash is some incentive .
Ma
the lady seems suitable and has a large house of her own and will wash and iron also. I forget her name as she only started today . Phil is coming around next week and will collect our prescriptions from GP surgery and take to chemists . We have asked her to buy a summer weight duvet as we are sleeping downstairs at present and short .
Chris - the old computer is P111 2004 and will not load new dragon voice recognition and my new editing video software - can make HD/Blue Ray . I cannot give away as great e machine .
I have appointment at Queens Square in mid august so we may travel down by train and stay at QQ - about 6 weeks post op so told should be back to normality and can the can start driving.
Must get back to tv as showing open golf and a drop of flat Guinness.
Anna and Issie will have to add photos to blog - i will when I get time as i would like you to see beautiful flowers from Wigan as Proteus as opening .
Plus the tomato plants on patio as growing like Triffids - also Phil's plus her herb garden .
Don't be bored folks yet...!
Love Mum and Dad

Dad Home - a Family to be proud of !
My first day at home
- not too bad - your ma now has a duty in life looking after me and very happy at that .
I think she enjoys the role - we are both sleeping downstairs but go upstairs once a day to have a shower - James has put a plastic chair in shower for me to sit on if get tired etc. I am very anaemic so supplementing with flat Guinness!
I ordered 34 meals from Wiltshire - look on web - they have great reputation and recommended by hospital. They are being delivered tomorrow.
Yesterday - Judge James should have been on duty in Sheffield but fortuitous for me he was free - i telephoned for him at home at 10am and he was in bed - it transpired he had been at HRI with Ma and Phil for 6 hours the previous night and didn't get home until 2am. Your Ma's warfarin was causing bleeding and has been reduced but no further DVT.
He came into ward to help pack and maneuvered my wheelchair expertly from the ward to the entrance -some distance so i could not walk
- it was like a scene from Little England BBC series - he parked me in HRI front portico in such a position that the rain blew over me , whilst he went for his wagon. I had to stand up and move .
Philippa has been the perfect daughter in a crisis and unbelievably capable looking after Ma and house and remaining cheerful. I never doubted she had qualities but even surprised me - i hope she gets a job soon but not at any price as she told me she lies on couch after lunch to listen to play of day on radio 4 and often has a zizz. Quite.
James and Phil disappeared to town centre for 4 hours - a quiet lunch in Shabab and then they did some shopping at M&S for us of superb ready meals - we are having one tonight . Phil returned home that night and spoke today - gym and weight watchers.
I have never been so impressed by a hospital - it was spotless and cleaned all time = plus now we have joined with Halifax - 400,000 catchment - there is a new generation of young Consultants doing the most complex surgery - previously only in teaching hospitals . We are obviously financed and have critical mass to sub specialise . The contrast with Bart's in London was profound - i would never go in for surgery if avoidable as agency nurses and change very night -many do not speak English.
I had every complication but survived and onwards - looks like 6 months of chemotherapy but you do not loose hair ! at least if i look like Yul Brynner can you tell the kids to pretend not to notice and not laugh! Particularly Issie! I may need a transplant! as we have a posse of grand kids with excess hair as i tease.
Dick came into hospital 3 times to see me - the last only 5 mins as i was vomiting so he did a runner.
Tim telephoned this evening from Marbella - like Ottawa 30 today and they were sitting in terrace with drinks - knowing Deidre - why not champagne- she has a glass a day.
Plus interesting Paul H has telephoned a couple of times and says when convenient he wants to come over to see me.
As my title says what a family above the call of duty
Angela
started ball rolling in Ottawa taking us at short notice to airport - the only occasion when my facade nearly slipped when Adam asked me to hold his hand and Issie came down to play Grandad a farewell tune on guitar. I shall have to send a short email to say survived! Let me know news.
Chris came up with Aiden
- a treat for ma in many ways , as she loved teaching Aiden and he soon picked up. I may have mentioned new Suzuki - he drove and they has splendid meal at pub on moors - apparently waitress bent over backwards to get Aiden suitable food ,which impressed Chris . He only had to drive to Birmingham as they were spending weekend with Edinburgh friends . used to examine and great a city centre .
Phil loves the Corolla and is having touched up tomorrow so pristine. A daughter in million - when better i am going to get her kitchen done - it will cost 30k - she can put on mortgage as small and interest rates low. I will help with fittings etc .
James also - he has never been away - poor Sara - he is bringing kids on Saturday for lunch and going to park afterwards.
The Wigan crowd sent me a beautiful box of lowers from M&S - Proteus etc and would have been very expensive - they never forget.. The dinner in Burton Agnes is going ahead - it is 6 week for me so should be able to join in hopefully particularly after missing Italy!
Doing fine - love to everyone
