I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
I’m hoping the pains will have gone by the morning. It’s quite probable that I just did too much today, at least that’s what I’m hoping anyway, Assuming it *is* better… and even if it isn’t… I’m off to the gym!! I need to get this weight off and if it comes off maybe… just … More And tomorrow… ?
Feeling a little more alive and alert than in recent days I decided today was going to be the ‘cleaning day’. Ok… *a* cleaning day. Didn’t do too badly all in all. The wife got loads of washing sorted, and mowed the lawns front and back. She also did a bit of tidying and sorting … More Busy day today!
Don’t ask how this arrived on my desk, but on the heels of Andrew Symonds demolishing of a streaker at the cricket finals the other week, I heard that even the sacred turf of that most boring and docile of sports… Indoor Lawn Bowls… has had it’s moment of fame… or infamy (and here I … More Whooosh… they call her the streak!
As part of an ongoing thread in another place someone brought up the question “What do adult cuckoo’s do while their young are being raised by others?”. I had to admit I had *no* idea. Of course not all cuckoos act by dumping their eggs in another birds nest and fly off. Most actually look … More What do adult cuckoo's do?
Can’t say any more.
As said, I’m back on my feet and walking again. Tomorrow I intend to go back to the gym and stretch the tired old muscles once again, but obviously I really needed to do something before that to avoid over reaching myself and causing more damage than I ‘cure’. I mentioned I took the dogs … More Ouch – a nice quiet family outing!
Ok… I’m more or less mobile again so it’s time to take stock and see where I’ve got to… physically at least. I’m 61, got three collapsed vertebrae, a ‘dickey knee’ and ‘trick hip’, and of course a broken toe. I also have those pesky allergies to consider… both the life threatening allergy to stings … More The State of Play.
A couple of people asked where their recent comments had gone. All I’m saying is that comments relating to the ‘Major Whinge’ post have been ‘unapproved’ so they can’t be accessed. They *have* been safely stored tho!! 🙂 The remainder are as they were but if I’ve ‘unapproved’ one you think should be available… let … More Missing comments.
The ‘Major Whinge’ thread was getting boring so I’ve taken the post ‘offline’… pro tem. The way to ensure the situation doesn’t occur again is quite simple and involves wielding a pair of metaphorical scissors. This might upset a couple of people along the way but hard luck. We’ve enough stress from ‘without’, we don’t … More Whinge revisited.
Australia has had it’s share of hospital horror stories recently, but the death of 5 year old Mason Jones was easily on a par with ours. Despite frantic efforts by his parents to get doctors to take his infection with eColi seriously he was three times refused a house call and was in fact sent … More Sad story from Wales.
