I had gone downstairs to see something on Grant's PC and as I exited the room, in front of him, Tinkerbell suddenly got underfoot. Evading … Continue reading Handling things
1742/6th October 2021 Time seems to be eluding me of late. Days are slipping by and I accomplish nothing. Except maybe take a few daft photographs.

In the meantime I had developed intense thirst but had to make do with ice chips. … Continue reading Surgery…
