I've been in bed for a week (almost) and saw the Doc yesterday. Still feel like shite but have too much to do to stay in bed any longer so have decided to get up and go for it.

The new signature just about sums it up actually.

I thought you had been quiet, get well soon.

My sister just called with a report. "I had my hysterectomy but still have a catheter in." Thanks.

I think I was meant to know about it! rubschin:

Thank you for your kind thoughts. I was tempted to 'phone you and ask to be cheered up but I was fearful that you might appear with a water propelled gadget of some sort ;).
It is, of course, the old ticker again but what the hell ~ at least I don't have a catheter in.
Do wish your sister well and KEEP OUT OF HER WAY! I learned the lesson when Mrs Snoopy #1 had that operation. If she was a dragon before she became a Kraken after.   scared2: scared2:

She lives in Hampshire, so I see here rarely, fortunately.

Someone in SPain asked after my "family". I said I didn't have one. Well, I don't. I just have relatives.

You may call if you wish. I am up to my ears and need diversion!

I am determined to stick to my last this week and get this fvckin' magazine out to the printer on time. Contributors to be chased, articles to be written, research to be done, MPs and Assembly members to be spoken to and so it goes on.
Like you I need but dare not give way to diversion (he said sitting here in the bar). Next week perhaps once I've put the thing to bed.
Oh Sh*t ~ gotta go for a flu jab tomorrow and that will give me a stiff arm making typing painful ~ 'praps I should ask the nurse to stick it in my d***. That could do with a stiffener.  whistle:

He had a lurk around a couple of evenings ago but left without saying anything.
I noticed him pass the kennel a couple of times. Thought at first he was a burglar but realised there is sod all worth stealing here ~ then spotted that it was the bear on the prowl.

You forgot the balloons. I saw a grave in a  Liverpool cemetery festooned with balloons and beer cans and birthday cards. If he had lived he would have been 21, apparently. noooo:
