Sorry dear readers that this blog has been quiet..... I simply don't like december and didn't feel the desire to blog.

However I spent new years eve and most of new years day drinking.

What got my attention during that time was an attractive girl. I didn't think it was possible thaat someone woulf catch my eye.

Unfortunately she was decades too young and had two "wingmen" so I did not/ would not approach her.

Mind you if one attractive girl exists there's probably others ..... So contrary to my thoughts on the matter, hope has not been creamated and burried.

And if you think I'm in any rush, can I share what you've been having?

Readers of this blog will be aware that I flew home earlier in the week.

Well, when I got my boarding pass I selected the window seat at the very rear of the aircraft as shown on the airline's website - seat 30A

Alas the aircraft assigned to the flight had only 29 rows.

Giving me two options. Either stand for the 135 minute flight, or occupy the toilet - which has neither window or seatbelt.

the former option is probably not good for someone who's had the surgery I've just had. The latter just seems to lack- generally!

The entire getting home took almost 9 hours. And when I got home I found that my abode contained only a can of baked beans, beetroot and pineapple.

Believe it or not it was not until I switched on the fridge 12 hours later that I found a half flagon of white wine......... Still looking for the Ozuo

Later today I will yet again disappear cause tomorra I'll be traveling back to my abode.

A place where my sterio, tv and computer didn't work when I left ......

and I switched off the hot water and fridge when I locked meself out some weeks ago.

So for a few days I might be yet again a touch scarce........

While I'm away one hopes you get yourself into trouble, but not move into PityMe City

I tried to write this several times yesterday but for some reason I kept getting cut off when almost complete.........

So here's a copy and paste of an email I just sent

I don't know how they did it, but in the last few days I've been moving into (not run screaming from) hugs.

So I suspect the person returning to utopia (l0l) is not the same person who left there three weeks ago!

I had expected to face many of my childhood demons during the hospital stay, but becoming demonstrative was not one I had remotely considered.

So if one ignores the effect of the surgery, I'm different person

Bloody nurses. ----- won't hear anyone utter a bad word about the lot who had to deal with me!

But I wish I knew how they'd did it.

Dear readers of this blog,

As you will no doubt already be aware I've got an operation approaching and by the time this blog gets approved I will be at least on the way to the airport. More probably be 1,500 miles away from my - or any - computer.

So for the next several weeks if you see a post from me it would be a fair question to ask how, if not is that really you ?

It's going to quite a time. For in having the operation I will be dependant upon others for just about everything. Something I have not done since ........ er ............ probably .......... ever

Having been punished, as a child, for asking for help (and anything else?) it's could be something of a change to have to ask for anything and everything............ Apparently I will be strictly restricted to bed for the first three days post op........ and not being allowed out of bed for a bath for a week.

Needless to say if I was punished for asking for help.... having someone (aka nurses) fuss over me is going to be something of a strain. ........ who knows perhaps I'll get use to it, but at least innitially I reckon it's going to be stressful.

In the last 3 months I've lost about one and a half stone, just through worry...... which has probably shown up in my posts.

When I return if I find any of you have moved into Pityme City I'll bloody tan your donkeys ( there is another word I would use by the mod's might object! --- aka find another word for donkey.)

By the way I'm surprised by the number of people who have viewed my blog.

And with that I'll speak to some of you in several weeks.
