Still rolling along

Just a quick update to assure the readers of this blog that I have happily passed my two year check ups and am still all clear of the dreaded cancer!

Life is pottering along pretty smoothly and at a slower pace than the frenetic tendencies I had before the rude interruption of my disease. Phisically I am in moderate shape, still right on my target weight helped by long walks with our new dog Herclues a dalmation who drags me around the part two or more times each day. My work is going well, the economic recession hits all of us to some extent and we are not immune but compared to the average we are doing well and winning market share so its enough to keep me busy but not enough to cause real worry and stress which is helped by working in a very friendly and competent team. I do spend about one day a week working from home and two or three days each week in Munich or other European cities so I have a good variaty in my job.

Holly and Poppy are growing up quickly now at 14 and nearly 11 they are becoming independant, confident and capable day by day, and they still talk to us which is a bonus! In fact this week we heard that Poppy has won a writing contest for under 18 year old kids in Scotland with a piece about how my illness affected her and changed her view on life, it was a really nice piece so we are going to the prizegiving this week in the scottish parliment.

Lee is busy as usual but not as bad as she has been, some new help in her team has helped spread the load and her little spin out company is going well, my next computer task is to run her accounts for the month. My car collection is stabilised now with the Aston and the MG getting regular use, we did the dream rides thing again this year and raised 2500 pounds for various charities last week alone.

So I hope you all are keeping as well as can be, enjoying the days when we are still here and keeping your friends and family high up the priority list as we all should.

Cheers

Gerry
