I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
I miss the smells and sights of an autumn walk though the woods, especially after a shower. The colours of amber and gold blinking in the light as the sun alternately shines through the leaves and sparkles in water droplets hanging from bare twigs is a sight I’ve not seen here in Australia. The ubiquitous … More I miss…
Maybe not in every way but I did feel I was getting back to normal this morning. Then I changed the dressing… which stunk. The nail looks like it’s hanging off and it really isn’t looking as good as I’d hoped it might. In an effort to ward off any *more* problems, I’m off to … More Every day in every way…
Lying in bed last night and I started to think… I do occasionally… honest! Anyway, I started thinking about ‘the last time’ for doing, seeing, saying (etc.) things and whether we would have done whatever it was differently had we been aware it *was* to be the last time… for whatever it was. 🙂 This … More So there I am lying in bed…
I’m sure lots of you know how addicted I am to books with complex story lines and highly developed characterisation. The two most obvious I’ve been ‘hooked’ by have been the ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy (and the associated supplementary texts), and of course The Harry Potter series. Well for the past few nights I’ve … More Inheritance: Eragon's saga
Lowering the tone slightly from the last post… .. the wife called me in to the ‘study’ this morning and told me to see what the ‘white thing’ was on the top of a set of cupboards. Thinking it was something the kids had left behind when they left for school I reached up. Then … More Spot the cat.
I was reading an article on http://www.news.com today written by Bob Hart who is a staff writer for the Herald Sun. The article described his attempts to live without the accoutrement’s of the hi-tech world to which he’d become accustomed. I’ve never met Bob, nor am I ever likely to, we live in different worlds. … More Life without hi-tech?
The toe hurts, as you’d expect, but I’ve been ‘back on my feet’ most of the day (on and off) so am a bit weary. Though I’ve done a bit of clearing up and tidying, I’m still not making any attempt to drive, and don’t intend to until either I’m sure the toe bone has … More Back on my feet again.
Rellies brought the daughter home. She seems ok really though is still wearing an ice-pack and bandage. I don’t think she needs a doctor, but we’ll wait awhile before finally deciding… but it isn’t as bad as it sounded when the nurse described it – luckily. 🙂
I was just completing the previous post when I received a call from the nurse running the Sick Bay at the daughter’s school. The youngest had fallen in the playground playing ‘tip’ and had badly twisted her ankle. She was given some treatment consisting of ‘elevation’ and an ice-pack and sent back to class. However, … More My life is a soap opera.
Over the weeks and months this blog has changed slowly from being ‘news oriented’ to being virtually a virtual online diary. I suppose circumstances made it so and I can’t see it changing much in the near future with things as they are. C’est la vie. The current focus is still of course the injury … More Opinion? Hardly.
