We went shopping this afternoon – not our usual big once-a-week shop, but (for long and boring reasons) our second mini-shop of the week. Now, when we’re going around the supermarket filling up the trolley, I know pretty well how much we’re spending. I don’t know the exact price of every item, but I can […]

I’ve not been posting much lately. And I think it may be because of the Verapamil. It’s still doing it’s proper job of keeping my heartrate from going doolally, but ever since I started on it, I’ve been feeling a peculiar lack of motivation. Everything is “I’ll do it when I’ve had a cuppa / […]
At first glance, Fairdeal Homeopathy looks pretty much like any other site selling homeopathic remedies – “Natural products to help you feel better about yourself” proclaims the front page, over a picture of flowers, leaves and a pill bottle. But just read the blurb inside: FairDeal Homeopathy is a company set up to provide you […]
Well, now and then…. Toniight I came across an old floppy disc containing all my articles that have been published. I had kept some of them on various websites (notably the Oakleaf Circle site), but lost them as I moved and revamped sites. So I was quite pleased to find them again. Anyhoo, they are […]
Hmmm… The drugs do work! Well, so far. I’m feeling cheerful and energetic, and generally much happier and healthier than I’ve been for bloody ages. I’ll have to tell Doc G about it – he’ll be pleased that something he’s prescribed for me is finally working. So I’ve really been charging ahead with work – […]
I never take any notice of sell-by dates on food. If it smells OK and doesn’t look putrid, then it’s OK to eat. So I’ve always reckoned. So, lunchtime yesterday: I’m making myself a sandwich; I drag out an opened pot of carrot & parsnip veggie puree spread from the back of the fridge – […]
Pictures of New Age idiots digging a hole and lighting a fire in a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Anybody else feel like shoving some suitably energised crystals up the orifices of these vandals? (English Heritage and Cumbrian Police have already been informed.)
Oh well, been put on yet another lot of pills to try out. This time, it’s Verapamil ; it’s yet another calcium blocker, like the last lot. But Doc G says it will probably suit me better, and has different side effects. I bloody hope so – the Solatol gave me permanantly dry eyes and […]
RAF blow up world’s biggest drugs haul RAF Harrier jump jets have blown up the world’s biggest drug haul in Afghanistan by dropping three 1,000lb bombs on a 237-ton stash of cannabis. The haul – worth £225million and weighing more than 30 double-decker buses – was unearthed by the Special Boat Service and local commandos. […]
I hate doing this to Doc G. He’s a good doctor and really wants to get me well. But pretty much everything he prescribes for me makes me iller than the original condition. So I started the Diltiazem yesterday. By evening, I was getting signs of vaso-dilation/hypertension – headache, blurred vision, wrist-swelling (I can always […]
