….Long story short: whilst visiting a dodgy website on Tuesday, picked up a shedload of viruses and Trojans, which proceeded to royally mess up my settings – my internet connection went down, everything slowed to a crawl, my AV program froze etc etc. After spending a whole day trying and failing to clean out all […]

….had my eyes thoroughly checked today at the opticians. The bad news is that this dry eye condition isn’t going away, so I’ll be putting in eyedrops three times a day for the rest of my life; the good news is that there is no damage to my cornea,and no sign of glaucoma or cataracts. […]

Got to see a doctor yesterday. Not Doc G, whom I get along with very well, but his partner, Lady Doc. Whom I do not get along with very well. Lady Doc’s undoubtedly highly professional, but somehow, we just do not gel. Somehow, she makes me feel like a whinging hypochondriac as soon as I […]
GOT to see a doc tomorrow. For the last 5 or 6 weeks, I’ve been getting very gritty, dry, sore eyes; worryingly, I’m also getting periods of blurred vision. So my already poor eyesight is further reduced. Today I can’t read a book or newspaper without a magnifier and can’t make out much of the […]

Not been feeling very settled these last couple of weeks. Bob & Sue are moving out, which means adjusting to new neighbours. All of us are now searching for people to rent the house. We’d like to have people who are pagan, or at least pagan-friendly; we’d prefer to have people that we already know. […]
So it dawned bight and warm – the perfect day for strolling down to the village Town Hall (no, that isn’t a mistake – our village really does have a Town Hall) and making my mark(s). Before I went, it was necessary to read through all the election leaflets; having decided I wasn’t going to […]
