Still not well

I'm off from work again today. Still don't feel well at all. I've got a fever, am clogged up, really achey and have a cold back. Boo, hoo!

Not well today

I made it in to work today, just. But left at1 as I felt rubbish. No better now that I'm home either. Boo.

Horse news


Germany investigates organic egg 'fraud'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21573158

A small sample of egg boxes taken from a local supermarket in Germany was found to contain horse eggs.

Not well.

Feeling a bit off colour today. I've been on a course today and will be again tomorrow. There's 8 of us in a fairly small room so I hope they don't catch it.

A lonely Henry

I'm on a management course just off Upper Street, (Angel) in what used to be an agricultural trading room. Impressive building, like a small Earls Court or Olympia.

That's a lot of work for that tiny Henry Hoover.

It's snowing!

Will I be able to get a second use out of the sledge we bought earlier in the year? Doubt it, it's been snowing for most of the night and again this morning and has settled to form no more that a sprinkle.

Weekend plans canceled

Ross has called off late. He's moved sites (somewhere near Bristol) and he's snowed under with work.  He was supposed to head down to Shaz's today so that we could meet his girlfriend Penny.
I think we're going to have to have a chat with him again about work/life balance. Most people have times when work has to come first, but it can't be the norm. I've even had to do a few extra hours at work these past few months, peaking at a high of working all night with no sleep. But that is hardly a regular occurrence. We've been trying to meet Ross's other half for years now but for one reason or another he's never got round to sorting it out.
My weekends are fairly packed over the next few months so good knows when well catch up again.

Operating at 85% efficiency

I went to what could be my last physio appointment today. Verdict: my hand strength is almost back to where it should be. Movement is pretty good. Only problem is the pain. I've been told to give it another month or so and if it's still not sorted then to see the specialist doctor again.

Fingers crossed... If it doesn't get better they may need to replace the knuckle!

New shirts

Not the most exciting post I've ever written but I ordered new work shirts online yesterday afternoon and they arrived at work this morning.
Quite impressed. Let's hope they're as non iron as they claim to be. My ironing fairy has gone on strike...

Officially old?

April tried to make me watch the Brits earlier. 90% of the people on there I'd never heard of. 90% of the ones I had heard of made me grunt with displeasure.
