…another tachycardia attack. This one started at approximately 3am this morning and didn’t stop until 2pm today. Something of a record for me. So I’ve not done a lot of anything today, aside from lying in bed and staring up at the ceiling (getting up and walking around during an attack makes me dizzy and […]

……out here in the hall; I’m giving serious consideration to B’s suggestion that I should move my computer into the living room. Trouble is, there isn’t anything big enough to put it on except the (ex-kitchen) table that it’s currently sitting on, and finding room will be difficult. So for now I’ll put on another […]
Did not get to Preston today. Got to the coach and got told extremely brusquely that it was fully booked and I couldn’t get a ticket. I had wondered if I should book a seat beforehand. But I couldn’t put any money on my PAYG card until yesterday, and it takes at least a day […]
Ack. My left knee has decided to make trouble again. For the last two days, it’s been stiff, painful and achey. Not only that, but it looks like a King Edward potato that’s come third in a Humourous Vegetables contest. So I’m doing as little walking as possible. Hopefully, it should have sorted itself by […]
Had one crappy day yesterday. First, I missed almost a whole night’s sleep – a tachycardia attack hit as i was going off to sleep and lasted for at least five hours. I spent most of the night sitting downstairs watching crap TV, got back to bed at six, managed less than a couple of […]
….to prove it, I can spell BANANAS! I thought I had polished off all my banana wine last night, but I’ve just discovered a bottle hiding away in the kitchen, trembling in trepidation. Never, fear, little bottle, you shall remain virginal – for the time being…. I’m now brewing a further two gallons – a […]
…finishing off the last of my amaaazzzing banananana wine. So I am not making much sense, and will regret this in the morning. Have sent off some emails to friends, informing them of amaaazzzziiinggg insights. But have refrained from posting on Facebook. For which I will be grateful in the morninggggg…… Kindly ignore this post.
Yup. Knew it was coming, but it was still an unhappy surprise. The Astrological Association is dropping the hardcopy edition of Transit, the magazine that I edit. They’ve sweetened the pill by telling me that I can set up and run the online edition on its own dedicated website (and paying me a setup fee […]
….especially for Leonard Cohen. Unbelievably, I’d never heard his song Hallelujah before today. It was bought to my attention because there is a campaign to make the Jeff Buckley version the Christmas no 1, instead of the newly-released version by some manufactured reality-show popster. I’ve listened to the Buckley version (and the versions by kd […]
Went shopping today. As we badly need some cereal bowls, I decided to look in Woolworths. Found some bowls, but buying four or five of them looked a bit expensive. There were “50% reductions!” signs all over, but even at half-price, the cost was a bit steep (for me). Then I came across a set […]
