Just to let you know that today marks the end of a personal era. My 32+ years of working in air traffic control at Shoreham Airport have finally drawn to a close. I wonβt be going into details as to why but it initially stemmed from my mini stroke back in June.Time to move on π
Hello my lovely Twitter friends I have some good news π I have had my consultation with my stroke specialist this morning and he is happy with all of my recent test results and discharged me from his care. Very happy π Have a great afternoon βοΈ
Regardless of viewers opinions of Nigel Farage that had to be the least professional tv interview I have ever seen! Susanna Reid made it all about her in such a personal manner. Her job is to ask questions and comment on the answers given not dominate the whole thing!

Hi everyone I was ambulanced to hospital earlier this morning after suffering some kind of mini stroke and I am being kept in overnight. Take care everyone and have a great day
Good afternoon from sunny West Sussex by the sea. I am currently listening to some music in the garden. Hope your day is going well and have a great evening ππ
Good morning. Today marks the 18th anniversary of this beautiful lady and I getting together. Despite both of us suffering personal loss, health issues and various obstacles we always manage to make each other laugh. Thanks so very much Lorraine. I am a very lucky guy β€οΈ
Morning everyone. Today marks the 20th anniversary of Lorraine and I first getting together. I still find it hard to believe that a short overweight bald bloke like myself ended up with such a beautiful lady! We are going out for lunch in lovely Arundel today. Have a great dayβοΈ
Good morning everyone πββοΈ Guess whoβs got balloons today? Itβs the big 60 and I donβt feel a day over 65 π Off out this morningβ¦ photos to come lol Take care and have a great day ππ
Evening all Itβs great news! My recent MRI scan didnβt reveal any new issues and I am no longer in need of the stroke care unit. This is a huge weight off my mind. Thank you for all of your messages of support after my morning tweet. I am so lucky to have such lovely followers
Good morning everyone. I have got balloons today! Heading off to Chichester for a posh breakfast π Take care and have a great day πββοΈβοΈ

This young guy with hair is actually me! Taken in 1981 during my Youth Training Scheme working in the control tower aged 18. This eventuality led to full time employment and I am still in the job to this day!

Thanks so very much to each and every one of you for your lovely get well messages. I feel totally overwhelmed by your kindness. I am sorry that I feel too tired to respond individually to you all.I do however have some good news. I will be allowed to go home this evening! π
Today marks the 19th anniversary of Lorraine and I getting together and not a day goes by without me wondering how a short tubby baldy guy like me ended up with such a beautiful lady! As the 3rd photo shows we are both a tad crazy lol. Thank you Rainy you are amazing!β€οΈβ€οΈ
Hi everyone. I have taken a bus into town (still not permitted to drive) itβs my first time out and about since my minor stroke so I expect I will feel tired later. It feels great to get some fresh air though. Take care and have a great Friday πββοΈβοΈβοΈ
This charming lady has blocked me. After describing my Sunday lunch photo as being grim and severely criticising the vegetable content on each plate I politely explained that it was made to our personal taste which is all that matters. You canβt please everyone all of the timeπ
I would like to say a massive thank you for all of your lovely Birthday messages today. We had a fantastic breakfast at The Ivy in Chichester and yummy Indian meal for two this evening. Itβs been quite overwhelming to get so many messages from all around the world π
Here are my lovely Mum and Dad very sadly both passed away many years ago but there will never be a day go by without them being hugely in my thoughts β€οΈ
Good morning πββοΈ Take care and have a great Wednesday. I have got the joys of an MRI brain scan this afternoon so fingers crossed for favourable results π€Take care βοΈ
Hi everyone. I am incredibly pleased to say that I have just spoken to my Brother and he sounds and is feeling much better though he is going to be kept in hospital until after Christmas. Hope you have a great afternoon π
Remembering my beautiful Mum on what would have been her 91st Birthday today. It feels like an absolute lifetime since we lost her nearly 29 years ago. β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈπππxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Today marks my beautiful Mumβs heavenly Birthday. She will have been gone 30 years this coming June and I still miss her every day β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
Morning everyone. Well as many you have already seen (Thanks so very much for your lovely messages) I move into the very last chapter of my 50s today! How time flies! Take care and have a great Wednesday π
Evening all. Happy to say that I had an appointment at the Worthing hospital stroke department this afternoon and I was reassured that none of my post stroke issues are either unusual or anything to worry about so itβs been a good day π Have a nice evening π
Evening everyone. I finally tested negative for Covid today and I also managed to have my scan at Worthing hospital. I am still struggling with massive fatigue issues which I guess is understandable. Onwards and upwards. Have a great evening π
Hope you are having a great Saturday. Today marks the 21st Anniversary of Lorraine and I getting together. Lorraine is beautiful inside and out and I am an exceptionally lucky guy! πβ€οΈβ€οΈ
I have been feeding this beautiful little Robin two or three times a day for several weeks now. I try to stick roughly to the same timings and he is usually waiting for me. Never fails to put a huge beaming smile on my face π
Afternoon everyone just to let you know that I am feeling extremely tired achey and somewhat drained but otherwise ok after my little episode yesterday. Covid might have something to do with those things too. Thanks again for all your kindness you are the best! ππ
Morning everyone. Today marks a year since I suffered my mini stroke so I am feeling especially thankful to be feeling ok having had no serious repercussions since that day. It has left me with one or two issues but I am well aware how lucky I am to have the life I have got π
Hi everyone. After feeling rubbish this morning and struggling to get out of bed which is very unusual for me I took a trip to my fav beach cafe this afternoon and after some fresh air and sea views I am feeling much better. Take care and have a great evening π
Finally home. The MRI scan was the loudest thing I have experienced since the last time I saw MotΓΆrhead in concert lol Fingers crossed now for decent results. Thanks very much for all your lovely tweets earlier. Take care and have a nice evening π
Good morning πββοΈ I thought I would combine a good morning tweet with a
#dund
photo. Hope seeing my face at this time of the morning doesnβt scare too many of you ππ Take care and have a great Wednesday βοΈπ°π
Good morning everyone sorry I have been a bit quiet on here this week. My Brother is currently seriously ill in hospital on The Isle of Wight and quite understandably causing much concern. Take care and have a great day π
Morning all. We have just docked in a rather gloomy looking Southampton at the end of a fantastic holiday which has left us with many happy memories. Heading for breakfast and then the drive back home to Worthing. Take care and have a great Friday πββοΈβοΈ
Today marks 29 years since I lost my kind loving and extremely beautiful Mum. She was only 62 at the time and has been hugely missed every day since β€οΈ

Hi everyone. I slept for around 5 hours longer than usual last night and my temperature has come down into the amber but I still have a terrible headache so itβs not going to be the wildest of NYEs here lol. Take care and have a great last day of 2023 π
Evening everyone. Hope you are having a good day. I am heading into town tonight to meet up with some of my old mates for the first time since suffering my stroke last June. I have known some of these guys for over 40 years and we always have a laugh ππ
Good morning everyone hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Itβs blood day for me today both at my doctors surgery and local hospital plus an ecg too. Fingers crossed for favourable results π€Take care and have a great day πββοΈβοΈπ
Meet our new little friend. This lovely Robin regularly sits on our fence and calls out until one of us appears and supplies suet pellets π So lovely to have something special to put smiles on our faces in this current dreadful world we live in.
Good morning. Sadly both Lorraine and I have tested positive for Covid and currently feel extremely rough! Take care and have a great Saturday πββοΈ
Good afternoon everyone. Still playing the waiting game but a bit of fresh air in the garden never did anyone any harm. Hope you are having a great day πβοΈ
Morning everyone . I have received some very bad news that my Uncle Bill passed away yesterday (non Covid) He was a fantastic character and set a big example to me as he raised the bar in terms of positive mental attitude. Another Clarets fan gone. RIP Bill π
Social media quite rightly regularly comes in for criticism but I genuinely feel like I am incredibly lucky to have such wonderful friendly supportive and fun followers on here and I would like to wish you all the very best for 2024 ππ₯
Good morning Twitter. Today marks 17 years since the very beautiful
@Rainybobs

Good morning everyone. Here I am photographed with my sister Angela who along with her partner Graham I spent a lovely afternoon strolling around Arundel yesterday which inevitably involved cake π° π. Take care and have a great Tuesday π
Not sure anyone could question the extreme levels of physique and athleticism demonstrated my myself in this all action video filmed earlier today! ππππ Have a great evening π
First vaccination done π I am pleased to report that I was a brave little soldier but as with all injections/blood tests I just had to wear my Dadβs Army Donβt Panic tee shirt ππ
Good morning πββοΈ I am pleased to say that I have now lost over half a stone since my recent health scare forced me into eating a bit more sensibly. Hardly record breaking progress I know but progress nonetheless. Take care and have a great day βοΈβοΈπ
