… called Hall, I’ve done three-fifths of five-eights of … err … nothing today.
I awoke yet again in the middle of the night to go off down the corridor, and was still asleep when the alarm went off this morning. But I was first up for breakfast and first back downstairs again. And then apart from a trip to the corner for my baguette, that was that.
We’ve had the builders in today. There’s been a leaky tap in the shower that’s been filtering into the bedroom at the side of it and today they came to sort it out.
They had to chisel off some of the tiles in the shower in order to access the leak, and they’ve repaired that. And then they chiselled off the damp plaster and put some tongue-and-grooving over it – with me giving some technical advice seeing that I’ve done rather a lot of this just recently.
But the plaster isn’t dry in the shower so we can’t use it and so that bathroom is closed off – which means that we have to go upstairs. That will be interesting at 03:00, that’s for sure.
I had a phone call today too – from the hospital. My appointment is on Monday at 11:10.
And i’m not looking forward to it.
Eric, sorry to learn that you are grappling with significant health problems. I could n’t easily track the beginning or diagnosis but suspect you are coping with significant kidney problems. Glancing through the last two months blog shows you are still irrepressible… Travel , football, war research etc. obviously ‘you can’t keep a good man down’. Hope Monday leads to some progress for you,
All the best,
Rob
How nice to hear from you, Robert. I’ve been diagnosed with Waldenströhm’s Disease unfortunately.
I think we have a solution…. Dr. Sergio Canavero plans to transplant human heads starting next year. Just think… you could dump the not working body and transplant yourself onto an athletic male body and have the kind of physique you’ve always wanted. Or… you could be transplanted onto a curvaceous young lady and be able to report back on just what women do when they run off to the loo in packs.
Does rather remind me of the South African, the Russian and the British surgeon who were talking one day.
The South African, obviously Dr Christian Barnard, said “it’s incredible what we can do these days. We transplanted an entire heart from one man to another and in 18 days he was back out looking for work”
The Russian said “why, that’s nothing. Here in the Glorious People’s Republic we transplanted an entire head from one man to another and in 18 days he was out looking for work”
The British surgeon replied “That’s nothing like as good as our achievement. We transplanted an entire woman to 10 Downing Street and in 18 days there were 3,000,000 people out looking for work”
