Gordon Brown's Child Has CF

READ THE TITLE

Wow....this will announced be on the news tonight. I heard it this afternoon.

This is FANTASTIC as Gordon Brown will now push for funding for gene therapy which could lead to a cure. WOW...WOW...

It does mean I will be probably be snowed under with TV and radio appearances in the next few days...

So if I don't get back to any of you...you know why! But although a shock for the family....this is excellent for CF patients everywhere....

On to other news....I went up to Warrington (86 miles each way in the rain!) for a medical for my new job in a former soldiers hospital and had a very pleasant afternoon in Widnes...

I met up with Claire and had a wander around the town. It seems everything is in walking distance from the office - good thing.......

I was going to pop into Halton Council to say hi but I wanted to get home before the rush hour. I hope they don't think I was being rude....

I think someone from the office passed me in the town but I didn't realise it was them til they had gone.....damn me for being a half-wit!

I didn't realise how close Warrington is to Widnes. People advise against living in Runcorn as the bridge in the mornings is a nightmare apparently...

I took some details of estate agents. I think what I am going to do is when I have a start date amd can commit I will spend a whole day looking round places...

In the evening a group of us went to Sutton to see Casino Royale....A case of James Blond!

Today has been same old really. I went to the gym but wasn't in the mood for it and then went to do some IT practice for my exam ON MONDAY...

Oh some good news OLA, my Canadandnandanian friend who I knew in Korean is coming over for the weekend. She is up in Hull (not an euphemism) at the moment (poor girl!)

Tomorrow I am selling CF charity cards in Sutton and then playing badminton. No rest for the wicked....

I am going to have to start thinking about the new issue of Transplant Support News as I doubt if I will have the time when I am up in Widnes.....too much to see/do!
