| Derek visiting from Singapore |
David
began the day at the doctors for a follow up on a small keratosis ( a
non malignant skin cancer) which Doc Wim had removed by freezing two
week ago. He got the all clear on this, had his blood pressure and
pulse checked; the good news is he has the heart of a twenty year old
(and the enthusiasm for life of a big puppy, a very big puppy :).
Doc Wim suggested he had a blood test as a regular maintenance check
so we walked in to the City to a pathology lab where a delightful
Korean nurse took some phials of his blood. We should have the
results early next week.
Apart
from the doctors, we did some more boat jobs and in the evening, the
lovely Derek Venn came for dinner. Lovely Derek is married to one of
my friends from London days. They and their young family live in
Singapore where Derek is a COO for ANZ bank. This week he had to
come to Sydney on business and came to see us. We last saw him two
years ago in Whangerai, NZ when the family Venn were visiting
Rachie's family in Tauranga. It was a wonderful evening.
We've
been so lucky to see so many of our friends here in Sydney, either
friends from home who've emigrated (Bob & Neil), others returned
from London to their home city (Cathy & Paul) and like Derek,
passing through on business.
