Will this winter never end? I’m ready for an improvement in the weather and some R & R. Still, at least I’ve been using the grey days to try and get over my December medical hiatus. The other thing I’ve…

A Mixed Bag
Considering the fact that I was born in February, I really should be used to it being a short month by now. I’m not, though; I never seem to be prepared for March to start. Slow learning curve I guess.…
Expensive Trip
During last year’s trip to France, whilst staying at our beloved dairy sheep farm camp site, Carol accidentally dropped her binoculars. Well, of course it was accidental – she’d hardly drop them intentionally, now, would she? They were relatively lightweight…
Stacks and Stacks
Good grief, you could almost have believed that it was spring today. I think that’s two pleasant days so far in February and it’s only 24th! [Ed: Sarcasm will get you everywhere.] Since I was home alone and wanted an…
A Milestone

Carol is much better at scouring a magazine than am I. That, I suspect, is largely because she’s a faster reader than I. It’s also because I often can’t be arsed (a.k.a. bothered). Let’s face it, most magazines are filled…
The Healing Process
The healing process related to the expected period of incontinence following a radical prostatectomy is a very strange one. I freely confess that I do not understand the mechanism(s) involved. Given that, during the two weeks immediately following my operation,…
Softwear Releases
As any regular readers will have noticed from my recent posts, it really isn’t possible to talk about the after-effects of a radical prostatectomy without completely burying one’s embarrassment. Fortunately, I don’t mind talking frankly and openly with my heart…
