My mum got her meds reduced by her family doctor, which I hope is the right move as the hospital prescribed higher dosages for her heart condition. Such switching around with the meds is rarely good. I found a Google app that allows free unlimited photo storage so this is greatly speeding up my photo editing processes but there is still a lot to do yet. The evening involved going out with my science fiction group friends. The Bank pub was running its own little beer festival with extra guest ales and it was a sombre opportunity for us to raise our glasses to a science fiction hero we all loved, Gareth Thomas, who played Blake in TV’s Blake’s 7, who died earlier this week. Many of us there had met him. lovely chap who could drink a bar dry of cider on his own. RIP Gareth Thomas All the episodes of Blake's 7 are currently on Youtube Arthur Chappell

Not seen Blake’s 7 in years, remember seeing it when it was on TV in the 80's was it or was it later 70's?

If your family doctor reduced the meds, I think your Mom is better. Let's hope she continues to get better.

@LadyDuck she was struggling with having to take so many - it was almost a full breakfast serial in itself

@LadyDuck I hope so yes, as it is not a regime I would like for myself either

@arthurchappell I know that it's never funny to be obliged to take too many pills. I think she feels better now that she has less to take.

Your mothers doctor should know if her meds need to be reduced or not. Sounds like a good deal with the free unlimited storage for your photos. RIP Gareth Thomas even though I never heard of Blake 7.

@celticeagle Blake's 7 was a popular science fiction series that ran for four years about a handful of resistance fighters taking on a fascist galactic empire run from Earth - Blake got hold of an alien fighter ship called the Liberator and led his resistance with that - it had a great theme tune and a very sexy lady villain called Servalan who ran the evil federation

yes, I hope so too, it is very dangerous to get the balance of mixed meds wrong

With so many musicians passing away this year, a lot of us have kind of forgotten that other celebrities are leaving us as well. Glad you got to raise a pint to your guy.
