Promised myself I would complete the PAYE returns just as soon as I finished. Noticed Adele looking distracted. “Footie?” “I’m listening.” Over the years I’ve learned to hold a conversation and read a book at the same time. Funny [...]

Food was fantastic. They may not smoke or drink but they certainly know how to put the food away. Had to be really quick to get seconds on the chocolate log.

The next patient to say “I can’t sleep Dr Foote.” is going to get a real surprise. Went to church with Adele and the kids. Kept [...]

Well not exactly alone, just me , three kids, 2 cats, a rabbit, several lizards, six goldfish, two rats and a cage full of mice. Of course I can manage perfectly well.
