Thank you all for your prayers. I took advice and decided to pay a visit to an ENT specialist who basically washed my ears out. I can now hear again. I now have a Japanese medical card.
I also appreciate all the private medical advice I received by private emails.
We will blog later, after dinner.
David.






Great, David. Glad the Japanese N.H.S came to the rescue! Thank God for answered prayer. Sue.
“Sounds” good…
glad it was just wax and not your age Dave
Praying for a good week at the chapel
Hi folks,
Just checking in again.
For the cyclists –
FIRST – Identify the correct side of the road to cycle on, and second – This mode of transport has no engine!
The melon bashing sounds like fun, but I’m sure that this would infringe the International Convention on Vegetable Rights. The EU would probably prosecute on the basis of not being the prescribed diameter of melon and there would be parity of esteem issues, no doubt.
Pete and Dave – Checked on the houses again. Sales of contents went well (but the articulated lorry collecting the books got stuck at the top of Bryan Street. The two owners at the top of the street were very understanding about the demolition of their houses to get the lorry free). Your houses haven’t sold yet, but got good prices for the cars.
Just joking, but hopefully it will give you a chuckle.
But seriously, we’re more concerned about team health and wellbeing. Glad Dave’s ear has improved, and we will contiue to pray for team health, sleep and stamina. Girls, we will be carefull to remember you as you cycle about, over the next few days. As for the children, you will leave an impression upon them that is far greater than you can ever imagine. Keep up the good work.
Team Dad
