Oh – the pain and discomfort…

Once the anesthetic has worn off the intervention - inguinal hernia - made itself known to me. Me lying down is alright, standing up is alright, going from a sitting or lying position to standing up is a real pain. I am having medication such as paracetamol and codeine but it doesn't seem to help much. I have to do everything very slowly. I dropped something on the ground and had to get a...

The day of my operation – the gruesome details

Just listening to a video commentary entitled  'GREG HUNTER USA WATCHDOG: RADICAL DROUGHT CAUSED BY MILITARY WEATHER WEAPONS – DANE WIGINGTON' 36:41  Weather control has been around since the 60's and is used to bring a country to its knees without them being aware of it. This morning I had a telephone call from Mike, one of the mechanics at the garage, to tell me that they had fixed the car but...

A wonderful day in – Clevedon – and – Portishead

We decided to celebrate Francoise birthday one day ahead (Saturday 6th August) so - still car-less - we arose early and took the 07.49 178 bus to Bristol, and then the 10.10 X7 bus to Clevedon. Non-Brit readers please indulge me. Brits know that such places are not the epitomy of sophistication or glamour but there were many delights in store for us. I made a vow that I would speak to as many...
