		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;last night.  The phone rang, the display showing a mobile number.  I picked it up and a mechanical voice started reading out gobbleygook.  It sounded like random characters, no recognisable words (apart from what sounded like &#8216;troll&#8217;), with a great many &#8220;semi-colon&#8221;s and &#8220;zero&#8221;s.
I eventually worked out that somebody was text-messaging our [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Getting off Verapamil wasn&#8217;t so easy as it appeared.  It&#8217;s thankfully gone now, but for the last three days, I had a continual headache; looking at various medical sites, it fitted all the signs of  a Tension Headache - slightly stiff neck, runny nose, getting worse through the day.  And I&#8217;ve been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve taken myself off the Verapamil tablets; six months is long enough to try it out, and it really wasn&#8217;t doing me a lot of good.   The main problem was that it made me fuzzy-headed all the time; I couldn&#8217;t think very well and everything felt &#8216;flat&#8217; and dull.  It was the [...]]]></description>

Irritatingly, the organisers don&#8217;t give any indication of what they regard as &#8220;cool&#8221;.  So I can suppose that it&#8217;s all a matter of opinion and that this blog has as good a chance as any of [...]]]></description>

This morning, on waking, I remembered that I still had to do the online version of Transit. Somehow, I&#8217;d completely forgotten that - hadn&#8217;t even started it.  So today, I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

A couple of weeks ago, Son had been to a small outdoor rave there.  It was a beautiful spot, he told us, by a loch, surrounded by forest. It sounded attractive, so [...]]]></description>
