Just back from a few days in Germany ...visiting relatives ..we stayed at a Hotel in Konigslutter which was like something from "the shining "... It was huge,yet empty(of guests) the corridors went on forever it had all the usual refinements ...pool, gym,sauna...also 4 lanes for 10 pin bowling, 4 indoor full sized tennis courts , a weird 2 lane uphill bowling game and table tennis.....with all this entertainment things couldn't get much better...until I get into the lift ....the company responsible was "Schindler "..." Schindler's lifts"....genius that's all I can say .... Made me smile everytime I got in it

Hope all is well Dad is doing well thanks ....he's still receiving chemo ..but all seems to be progressing well ..he's still playing golf which is the main thing as fa as he's Concerned ...it's always fun going on holiday with mum and dad.. these days you seem to have to repeat the same conversations with them ..a bit Like Groundhog Day ....dads still very competitive and takes all leisure activities very seriously...bowling , pool ...even playing cards.... Part of the visit is where he was based for his national service after the war ...he recalled a story about playing football for England in East Germany Which I'd never heard before but we visited the checkpoint crossing at Marienborn (which is now redundant ) and it triggered the memory ..

I came home with a few trinkets...lest said the better ....snigger ( a new bridle ) ...and some other things ...( dad didn't see all of them ) But his credit card did .. ...

Hannover very busy compared to Konigslutter ....good job we can entertain ourselves ...(the hotel was enough)...you could get lost in it for days ....

Shes registered blind but, insists on telling me daily I'm losing too much weight shes almost deaf so, the constant repeats of jezza Kyle are always on on full blast shes had a stint of radio therapy at christies for lung cancer for a while now and the other day the dr mentioned her cancer and she replied ......oh have I? And burst out laughing Nan off Catherine Tate anyway, nice to hear your dad is doing well all the best
