Gib

..or is it a pig? Approaching this stump from the other side, the first thing thought that came to mind today for some reason was Gibraltar. We've enjoyed a few fabulous trips over there hosted superbly by our friends, who always refer to it as Gib (as termed by expats).

Family
Visited the village playground, cum, cricket club, cum child nursery with my daughter and grandson today. Star attractions included walking past a few diggers n tractors, and for the first time today we ventured through the orchard enjoying not one but two coups of chickens, and a walk along a very short boardwalk over a mini dyke!

Wellness
Good news!

Escalated my benefits issue after 3 months of problems (as anticipated) to my local MP Robert Jenrick (also a senior government minister) yesterday late afternoon. Amazed when when one of his local support team called me offering to escalate it within the government. She very warmly enquired if my condition was similar to her husband's in order to show her understanding. Different "label" to mine but strongly overlapping group of symptoms.
