News from John Scott



Here is John's latest news—

Happy New year to one and all.

House in Acton still has a way to go. Hope to be in before the spring and resume cycling with you all.

Still working on and living in daughter's house in Wokingham.
Had heart monitor fitted for 48 hour run because of periodic increase in rate. Awaiting consultation in March.

After two attempts at root canalling lower RHS molar by previous dentist (the one that did a runner without even saying goodbye and taking enormous amounts of money from patients including yours truly) it has to come out, due to perforation of roots into jaw. Procedure will take about a year to finally fit me up with an implant. More cost. Hope the new guy is an improvement on the old one.

Daughter Olivia's baby "Alex" is absolutely enormous. I think she's stopping at one and I am not surprised.
Cycling non-existent due to disruption and bad weather. Hope to make a sortie in near future but will have to be train assisted. Hopelessly out of condition - not a lot of confidence in my current ability.

Touched base with Harold Fifield in Scotland. Found out his new contact details after receiving a Christmas card from him and his wife Veena. Good to establish contact again.

Keep in touch and good cycling to you all.
Kind regards,
John

John, I too have sent a note to Harold to wish him well. I am so glad that you are starting to get settled in but I'm sorry to hear about your setbacks. Keep up with that Northern Grit detemination that I know you have, you will be back on your bike very soon! Alex will help to ensure that.
