Feb 2026

Its February month of cold wet damp and certainly started off accordingly. Hospital appointments again this month more scans, life is on hold. Should I book flights to Alcudia or not, would not be insured if a medical condition related to my current health issues crops up. At least I've booked apartment for June, 3 weeks again.

Had a endoscopy late in January, now have the results including images taken by camera. Can now see me from the inside not good viewing, but at least no issues.

Latest scan from Addenbrookes shows no new cancer issues good news but did show issues with liver so waiting for appointment for that. Yet another stress inducing problem. Also now has a 24 hour ECG, waiting for results on that.

February weather is normally not good but this year it's so damp wet cold, you wake up look out the window and think what's the point, stay in bed keep warm and cozy, it's not like I have much to do at present.

The Rx8 has it's MOT coming up, still has engine management light on, car drives as it should, local garage uncertain as what to do next. Also now has a problem on one of the front wings with the varnish becoming delaminated so need respray.

Have now started planning for this year's poppy appeal. 2 of my supporters have now stood down and need replacing but whom. Do need my foot troops now as my own ability to get around is limited.

I see new growth on the garden trees maybe spring is around the corner, but first three garden need a tidy up. But even before that I need some dryer warmer weather so can get out, it's just too brrrrr.

It's amazing how simple things make you happy like water flowing down the plug hole especially when yours blocked. Luckily plumber was able to unblock. Phew...

One plus point is that there are signs of spring, snowdrops are flowering daffodils are appearing, life is being renewed. Can I have some.
