Remember that blocked drain yesterday, which was so bravely tackled by Sol? (The bottle of Scotch and the case of beer with which we thanked him was but a small token of our undying gratitude for a task that was above and beyond the call of duty!) Well, without wishing to get too gory, but [...]

Yay! Remember my office desk that I bought on e-bay, and the seller sent the wrong one, and only half at that? Well I ended up initiating a dispute because they wouldn’t reply to my mails,a nd then they didn’t respond to the messages I sent them through the dispute console. Eventually, they did arrange [...]

Well this had come to a halt for the Christmas period, but started again a couple of weeks ago with Emmy removing the doors to the shower room and the cupboard under the stairs, and replacing them properly. He also built the cupboard around the existing gas meter, as it would have cost us £400 [...]

A few weeks ago, I was stuck, trying to write a news release for my new clinic. I posted on the CPFC message board for help and advice, and one member volunteered to help. Firesign was absolutely wonderful and he actually wrote the whole release for me, taking the boring facts and putting them into [...]

Billy invited me along to watch this game and as I haven’t been to see the Toon for a bit, I accepted. I met Billya nd Paul at the train station and it was also nice to see the rest of the Hotty Mags again. The match wasn’t a thriller, but then we didn’t expect [...]

I’m back! My main site is now hosted by DivisionX along with my blog. I was absolutely sick of host servers crashing and taking all my hard work with them, so, knowing how reliable DivisionX are, from the four+ years they’ve hosted my professional site, I decided to move my personal site to their servers [...]

Again! Sorry! Hopefully things will start settling into some sort of routine so that I know where I am (or even, who I am!) On Monday, after a hard day at the hospital, (complete with a double clinic), I came home to find an e-mail from the school, saying that Stephen had circumnavigated the school’s [...]

Talk about chasing your tail! Here goes for a quick summary of the last week: Friday – Darts – we were away to the Tynedale Sports Club, and naturally, we lost. However, Emmy was in form and won his singles game, and Paul and Billy won their doubles, so we avoided a whitewash. I do [...]

It’s been all work this week, so rather than bore you with that, I’ll bore you with some random musings. Belgian Danish – Whilst setting up my clinic, I needed lunch in town one day, and popped to the bakers for a pasty and a cake. I asked for my favourite cake, a Belgian bun. [...]
