Some detail on the youngest daughters broken finger… for those mildly interested. 🙂 Seems that she broke it before she even registered at class in the morning! She’d been playing with friends on the hill above the classrooms (the school is set in some quite attractive bushland) and had fallen. She’d put her hand to … More The littlest finger!

While the ex-family were here a few weeks ago the cat brought in a mouse… alive of course. She proceeded to drop it to the floor and then batted it around a bit, but before I could stop her or catch the thing, the mouse made its escape by breaking the world record for the … More I hates meeces to pieces!

Went to the gym… got weighed (again)… had my photo taken (again)… listened to the motivational talks (again)… and came home (again), and so here we go on the Hills Biggest Loser Competition (again). 🙂 The wife came along this time to give me a little ‘moral support’ which was really nice… especially as she’s … More And… we're off (again)!

Not the ‘D-Day’ of old… but a more personal one. Tomorrow is 29th March and tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. is the start of the latest ‘Hills Biggest Loser’ Competition, and I’m in it! Don’t expect to win… but I do hope to get most of this weight off. Had I continued the diet and exercise … More Almost 'D-Day'.

Back again? No not mine… still the wife’s. She seems a *lot* better today. She’s currently sitting at the computer ‘working from home’ albeit sitting in one of our upright solid wooden ‘dining’ chairs. Not sure if she’ll be travelling in to work tomorrow or not, but if this continues she’ll be pretty much back … More Back again!

In case you live outside Wales and wonder what the hell the subject is about… that expression is a part of Wenglish and means she’s following doctors orders about her back. He seems to think it’s nothing serious, a plain muscle spasm. He suggests she has a day or two on diazepam and anti-inflammatories and … More The wife's now under the doctor!

I’ve finally finished off the antibiotics… though am yet to see the doc to be assured all is at last well with the toe! The thing *seems* to be ok now, no nail of course and still a bit odd looking, but at least it looks as if it’s sorted. The back/hip/knee is still painful … More Swings and roundabouts.

Trouble is mine might be packing up slowly. Doctor says they are showing signs of being under stress. I was asking if this might be a result of the low carbohydrate diet but he seemed to think not… which is a bit more of a worry. He did tell me bits of my body are … More I like kidneys

Slowly but surely, one at a time I can feel switches clicking ‘off’ in my mind. Thinking at a tangent for a second, I remember the wife’s father came in for a lot of criticism, over the years from both his immediate family, and from myself because of his ‘cut and run’ attitude to his … More The switches are closing.
