Home Sweet Home?

Monday, October 10, 2005

I (or rather we) have returned from our trip to the south west.

I would like to say it was a nice break, but sadly it wasn't what I had planned.

The hospital appointment I attended with my Mum was wasted thanks to the consultant "not having enough time to read the test reports"(!) nor could he give a comprehensive answer to what mum has to do with regards to going back to work.

I then investigated the claims for benefit only to find out that my mum only had a month to appeal and we were a day over. We not have to start all over again!

And then... then I took my mum to see my aunt in her home only to leave with the whole side of my face bloated and swollen. I ended up going to my parents GP on Friday to be told I had either been bitten or caught something at the home... the result? I feel I look like the elephant man, my face and neck are swollen and my left ear lob is bruised, grazed and red.

Thankfully the anti-biotics are kicking in as I need some sleep - it's kept me awake since Friday. I didn't go to work on Monday or Tuesday (great start back from a holiday I know!), but thankfully my director was understanding...

This week will be a little odd too as we only have a couple days together. Richard is flying out to holland at the weekend for an electronic music festival. I choose not to go (I prefer the likes of Air or Royksopp, not Tangerine Dream etc).

Anyway this leaves me home alone this weekend and as I feel like the elephant man I think it is probably a good thing!

During the weekend Richard and I took part in the Test the Nation, English test and we were both very happy with our results. I got 50 and Richard got 48 (out of 70).

It's nice to see that Yahoo have embraced pod-casts after launching a pod-cast search engine, it's also nice that Trunk Guy pod-cast is listed. (Unlike iTunes)

Typically one of my idols has been ridiculed whilst I have been offline. People please leave Janet alone! If she wants to sunbathe in the nude then let her. You're only jealous she has such a fantastic body for someone of her age.
