CENOTAPH

Sunday 10th November, I did my first

ever Cenotaph parade in London.

I was part of the HMS Ark Royal Association

platoon of 27.

Met some old faces.

Must admit there was a lot of standing around

in the cold.

0930 at Horse Guards, we didn't march till

gone 1130.

I made it on the I Player.

That's me bottom left.

ARTHUR UNWELL

Poor old Arth has been very poorly.

Spent 4 nights in the vets after his back

legs kept giving way.

Obviously age, at 13 1/2 is a factor, but

he had anaemia as well.

The vets did plenty of tests including

for a tick based disease called Leptosorosis.

Really thought his time was up.

But slowly after being allowed home, and on a course

of anti inflamatories, he is back to 90% of

his old self.
