Sadly, a second friend of mine has just learned that her baby has cystic fibrosis. THis time, neither knew but both she and her husband tested positive as carriers, though neither is aware of anyone in previous generations having had the disease or demonstrating similar heath problems. I have no idea about my husband's or my status but if we thought about another baby, I would probably get one of us checked. (YOu both have to carry the gene so if one tests clear, it's fine. Cf sufferers, like many diseases, can just be unlucky and suffer a totally new mutation but that cause would be very very rare.)


Tests are simple - blood tests at Harley St, not on NHS.


Posting in case anyone else wants to set their mind at rest.

    • Some of the replies to you have been unnecessarily rude. It's not unreasonable for wheelchair users and everyone else to expect to have access to the footpath. But instead of criticising the council for not already knowing about the problem and casting pre-emptive aspersions on their responsiveness...maybe you should actually take the step of letting the Council know about your concern? When I had a similar-ish complaint, the Highways team responded very quickly.
    • "The tables outside the Blue Brick were in fact mostly within the cafe's curtilage." All the tables were placed on the pavement, not part of the cafe's curtillage any more than the pavement outside my house is a part of my curtillage. There are no signs of demarcation like studs or different paving which is usual. I believe though many cafe's were awarded licenses by the council during the pandemic allowing tables to be placed on the pavement. "Yes, Jenijenjen [your 'real name', obvs], I have posted over a number of years. Say what you intend clearly about these previous posts, so that other readers can judge, rather than alluding to them obscurely as if they somehow invalidate the matter I raise here. Good grief."  Blimey, you're reading something into this post that really isn't there and was not intended.  No hidden agenda, merely an observation.    
    • They do that in Chelsea. Bars and cafes can buy the parking space in front of their shop to put tables in.  We should be more like Chelsea.
    • I like seeing everyone out enjoying themselves.  I'd prefer Lordship Lane to be car free and all the cafes etc have tables outside.
