Thank you to Mojo
… for charmingly puking on my feet last night at 4am. A veritable gift of love that was heralded with that special 'urf-urf-urf' noise that cats make as they start to heave, and finished with a perfectly formed pile of semi-digested nuggies on my side of the bed. All of which was ignored by Mr…

3 year Anniversary
Yes, it's a weird happy aniversary to me – three years today since I was diagnosed with the joys of MM. Still remember incredibly clearly, walking from one Parkside building to the other for some random test that I still thought was to do with my dodgy ribs (underactive thyroid / some muscular issue that…

Drilling delight
Sitting in our upstairs living room, listening to major drilling downstairs and starting to think I'm going to have to go a lot more on my non-working days than I had thought! Mojo is cowering in the corner looking very unimpressed and I'd like a cup of tea but it involves emerging into the dust…

Last weekend before house chaos
Poo…. final couple of days before the dust billows, the walls come tumbling down, the kettle takes a 20-boils-a-day battering and the inevitable skidmarks attach themselves inexorably to the inside of the downstairs toilet on a daily joyous, builders-bum basis. Yes the kitchen extension start is just 36 hours away… We have a shower curtain covering the…

Gross
So, I'm sitting in our nearly bare kitchen trying to write a proposal that will hopefully take me to New York to run some training in October – and far more importantly, be able to stock up on some nice American winterwear before coming home in my plush Club seat. Unfortunately, my eye keeps being drawn…

August photos
This means photos taken in the month of August, rather than being a set of augustly stern and sensible pix… although given the shite weather quite frankly it's an easy one to get confused over…. I'm scanning these in as I sit knackered on our sofa, which has just been relocated to the front bedroom,…

Back from a week’s UK-trotting
Hello hello! Phew-ee, finally back at home after what feels like quite a long 7 days, most of it in a good way. We had 5 nights away on the boat which: – was lovely, as we were in Fowey down in Cornwall, so a nice change from the Solent-once-more-with-feeling usual routine – and had…

Off for the next week
So, its meant to be high summer, scorchio August and I appear to be heading to Cornwall tomorrow to face a weasly 17 degrees and 40% chance of 'precipitation' (why don't they just say pissing drizzly annoying rain?) every day. Still, have got 5 nights on the lovely Magus to look forward to, and I will…

Good news!
Hurrah hurrah – having shat myself for the past 24 hours since seeing Prof yesterday, today's result was…. da da da da – stable. OK, not as good as 'its gone back down' but a shed load better than 'it's up'. So – a score of two and have managed to persuade him not to…
