Month: July 2012

News from the last few days

Posted on July 26, 2012 By admin

Katy’s operation on Monday went well and so far, so good. It got rid of a deep-tissue infection that’s been plaguing her since after Bean was born, so yeah, good riddance!

She was discharged on the day and has been feeling fairly well since, with only the occasional bouts of discomfort. Hopefully that’ll be the end of that! She needs to get the suture clips taken out next week.

The oldies were a big help with Bean. They went on a massive cleaning spree on Monday and installed new shelves in Bean’s room, then Mel and I spent the whole of Tuesday replacing the kitchen sink. Of course, this being our house, it fought us all the way. I swear the man who did most of the work a couple of owners ago was an idiot, or a cowboy bodger, or a mix of both. In the end, we ended up ripping out a large section of the drain pipe and redoing the work ourselves instead of trying to make everything fit with the loony-tunes installation that was there before. Wednesday was a chill day, with a side trip to Scottsdales. With the sunny weather we’ve been having all week, we had BBQs and chimenea fires all week.

  

Bean’s in nursery today and tomorrow, so the oldies have gone back home for a well-earned bit of peace and quiet.

So much innuendo possibility…

Posted on July 26, 2012 By admin

Found this online this morning. Sooo many possibilities for crass innuendo, I don’t know where to begin :) For now, I’ll just say, “you’re doing it wrong”.

Chillin’ in the waiting room

Posted on July 23, 2012 By admin

Katy went in at noon. I went down to the concourse to have a bite to eat as it should be a couple of hours for her to have the op and get out of post-op observation. I firmly believe that the first person to design a comfy waiting room chair that the NHS can afford should get a knighthood.

Liveblogging Katy’s op

Posted on July 23, 2012 By admin

9:15 At Addenbrookes. Katy had her BP checked. Bit high. If it doesn’t come down, they’ll give her some drugs cause atm it’s too high to operate.

9:45 katy just had her BP checked again. Just having me around lowered her pressure by more than 10 points. Just goes to show what a bit of laughter and a quick grope can do :-)  good to know that my years of being a letch came in handy (hur hur!) I keep telling Katy that it’s cause she’s relaxing cause she’s feeling well known emotions (happy anger, frustration and exasperation).

Apparently, the BBC has been reporting on a bumper crop of slugs due to all the rain we’ve been getting. Found this guy on a brick wall on the way to the corner shop.

The universe wants me to get a Jack Russell

Posted on July 20, 2012 By admin

I’ve had 4 encounters with Jack Russells in the last week. First off, we met our neighbour’s new dog. Then, there was the one at the pub during Antony’s leaving lunch. Then we saw one at Scottsdales on Wednesday, and last night, we saw a listing for JRT puppies going for £90 in the local newspaper.

DAGNABBIT!

Now is not the right time.

But soon. Soon…

Oh Google, is there anything you can’t do?

Posted on July 20, 2012July 20, 2012 By admin

One of the little tasks I’m always finding myself doing is unit conversion. What’s 350oF in Celsius? How many ounces is 3/4 of a pound (Katy just asked me that one now)? I generally just google it and use the first link that comes up. Google just make it easier:
