Private Eye :: home We used to subscribe then we lapsed. Occaisioned about a copy in Tesco. Doing the rounds - the column about the NHS can often bring a smile. This week they refer to the Health Secretary as John "oh F*** not Health " Reid. That makes me chuckle.
Meanwhile playing with mozilla and having fun.

Better after a kip
Still aint right but feeling better. Grab a couple of hours and feel better. Get a wash.
Jean and I laff reminiscing about 60's ice creams. Which may lead to some mad googling later.
Off to Mothers and cheer her up she don't like bank holidays.

11a and the DN aint been yet. 1145 and she's away - nice lady. Wound by my belly button looks well strange, my perspective dont help. Jean who has a clearer view says instead of just going deep it goes up ( as in towards my head) nice..... She packs a lot of gubbins in there.

Fell sick and cant be bothered to get washed. Avoiding doing things I know need doing. - not good.
Ally off to see Harry Potter thing this pm.
The rest of Sunday
Have the sleep and feel better - sort a sense of sick boy duty done. Must admit I am getting heartily sick of food. Just feel a bit stuffed and not like much. I wonder how much is down to the antibiotics.
John Mary and Mum show up about 6.30 nice visit mum looking better and has lost a bit of weight. She is ill really but I suspect she hasn't had time to be really sick whilst looking after her mum. Mary signs our postal vote papers - I shall refrain from moanin about that fiasco here. After they leave a casual walk for Jean and I - we reach number 70 tonight - not far I know but I am trying to be restrained. Still planning to do 5k in September (probably unrealistically).
Colin arrives and he helps by witnessing mums signature on the probate form so all should be moving well in that direction. I still have paperwork to sort on that front - next week.
We confirm a green light on us goin to Normandy - that is Jean, Me Ally, Hannah and Colin. Dover Calais then somewhere in Normandie. Thats all we know. Eat our evening meal far too late.
Not much on telly and guts feel a bit wrecked in the evening. Sit and read poopy fiction quietly.

mozilla.org - home of mozilla, firefox, thunderbird, and camino Becoming a true geek a download Thunderbird a news reader which allows me to plumb the depths of usenet beyond the sanitised offerings on Google groups - which is all very nice but a bit too squeaky clean.
Sunday gets interesting.
I rise about 8.20 I chill downstairs, two cups of tea and the digestion is sorted. Ally is up before Jean, District Nurse is a bit later than yesterday. I get a call from a cousin who has been talking to me mum. About Tuesday and the ashes, she says me mum is upset. District nurse arrives Bernie from Central covering. Sound lady uses my new tielle plus absorbent dressing covered with tegaderm. This allows me to have a shower which is most welcome. We scoot to Tesco bit of a shop I retire early to the car with private eye. We pick up some cakes for the old ladies next door. They are made up, they have lots to tell me and Ally has to come and rescue me.
Bacon and mushroom sandwich for lunch - top stuff. Unfortunately some sot of east enders omnibus fest is on. A kip for me I think, followed by a visit from me mum.

Saturday Afternoon
A medicatory adjustement - tweaking the depakote allows me to settle and get a good kip - no suppositries required and wake feeling dazed and confused but definitely better for a good rest.
A bit of a lazy day for me - which is what I need. Deep Impact on the telly later after fish and a few chips for tea. Bowels settling, in fact their lack of activity is an issue. Doing a little research into google interfaces sad of course but you know what I am like.
Need to sort paperwork, letters etc but to be onest can't be bothered.

Friday Mornin
Wake up with thoughts that all is not well with the graphics card in my PC. Hmmm. What to do aint certain.
Come down stairs and listen to radio 4 on the telly. find the heath select committee report at The stationery office and the evidence next door here some interesting stuff - and a few peeps I know in there.
Install mozilla firefox from these boys and I have to admit it looks good clean and feels well built.
So load up with antibiotics and sodium ( one antibiotic has to be taken two hours away from calium and zinc). Tea and juice, gonna review the JS stuff from the Grauniad.
Black Viper provides some excellent tweaks.

Thursday already
Awake after an hour or so but having read and relaxed feel better. Get out of the pit and head downstairs Jean has been guarding the couch. Mooch round cyberspace and eat a little cheese cake. This having to eat business is extraordinary. I must admit I aint as hungry as I was. Undertaker rings back yeah the section number we have given them helps but there are no records of anyone with those names in there. Poop - only hope is tonight there will be some more papers in Nannies house deeds from Mums. To be onest - not holding out much hope....................
Visitor before snooze
Kieran comes a calling in his hawaiin blue car. I apologise to his missus for my fearsome behaviour during my recent spell in ITU. Good to see the lad he scoots I voltarol then sleep.
