T + 660 Thank You

As before if I have an email address for you then you have probably already seen this.....

I just wanted to write to say thank you to all those of you who bought a copy of my novel and/or donated to my Just Giving site.


I know there are lots of demands on people’s time and money so I really appreciate you making the effort to help the charity Cure Leukaemia.


I’m pleased to report I have to date raise £297.80 thanks to your generosity.


If you wanted to make a donation or buy a novel but haven’t yet got round to it you can still do so via the links below.

Thanks again.

T + 125 Sore Point

By -
I managed to cut the tip of the index finger of my left hand with the bread knife yesterday. After my initial exclamation of "Ooh I say, that stings a bit!" My next thought was "possible source of infection!" something I wouldn't have given much thought to 18 months ago. It wasn't a very deep cut but it was right on the fleshy tip so bled a fair bit and was in a place that would open up again easily. When your immune system is low your first line of defence is the physical barrier of  your skin. So I was a brave little soldier and rinsed it with a some alcohol gel, more "Ooh I say", and then stuck a plaster on it. I tried taking the plaster off this morning but that was a bit premature and it was back on by lunchtime as the cut had opened opened up  again, probably due to using a keyboard all morning. The current status is I've taken the plaster off and the wound is holding up ok. Now the foregoing might seem more information that you could pos...

T + 295 Irrational Pleasures

Well I finally got the automated system at City Hospital to understand me when I encountered it again today. When it says "Did you mean Eye Centre or Eye Department at City?" you have to say "Eye Centre" again not say "Yes". Not really intuitive particularly given the way the inflection is on the sentence. After that, when I got through, my referral from Vision Express is still not on the system despite supposedly having been posted two weeks ago and faxed 3 days ago. The woman at the eye centre said give until Friday and if not on the system by then get Vision Express to fax it again and she will walk it through the system. Meanwhile a non-medical item. Irrational Pleasures There are some things in life that give you far more pleasure than they really ought. Disproportionate to the significance of the item or act. I refer to these as irrational pleasures. As you will see below I have currently deprived myself of one my specific irrational pleasures and t...

T + 112 Thar She Blows! (PG)

By -
Well after dinner last night I got really quite bad stomach ache with a lot of trapped wind and acid indigestion. Some Remagel tablets sorted the acid but the trapped wind was a real problem and gave me a disturbed night sitting up in bed at times with a hot water bottle on my belly. I was feeling quite sorry for myself at times. The problem was confounded by having to be careful about releasing said wind when the opportunity arose because, due to the problems the day before, I couldn't be sure I wouldn't get more  than I bargained for, so to speak. So I was up and down to the loo a few times in the night as well though I didn't actually have any more diarrhoea. I still managed to get up at 07:00 and did a full day's work including some actual productive stuff with support calls. I've taken it very easy with the food today, just four cornish wafer water biscuit things so far and plenty of water. My stomach has settled down a lot and I'm hoping to manage a little...
