| Latticed Stinkhorn, Clathrus ruber |
On September 1 I had my prostate removed. Two days later I
was released with a catheter from Eastbourne District General Hospital and had
my first decent night’s sleep for two days. I had been looking forward to this morning’s
appointment for some time – the catheter was removed at Southlands Hospital and
I have now reverted to nappy training…
I can only speak highly of all the NHS staff who have dealt
with me throughout the whole procedure. The NHS has its failings, but my recent
experience has shown me the highest standards – thank you to everyone involved
for your professionalism in all fields.
We had lunch at home then visited Arundel WWT for my first
photographic outing this month. We met Terry and found some Common Darters on
the reedbed walk. When we dropped Terry off at home he kindly showed us
something new – Latticed Stinkhorns, very interesting and well named fungi.
