Well the news is that l am now officially discharged from St Luke’s OPD. Still have to get the dressing done till the leg’s fully healed, but that’s it. There may be one or two small celebratory drinks this evening. And rather more large ones.

Hurrah, joe! That’s very good news. Now we all need to think healing for the remaining wound, don’t we.
(Memory from a Rosemary Sutcliff book: “If your mother’s Nice Nourishing Broth could grow me a new leg, I’d be a centipede by now.”)

You know that feeling when you’re sitting at your desk, minding your own business, when suddenly you get the sense that you’re being watched…?

They’re just glad to have you back, joe. I hope that they haven’t been menacing the hospital staff, mind you.
When does the party start? And, what’s innit for The Hens? Best to keep them happy, after all.

And a beer can up its jacksy, Twellsy?
Glad about the toof.
I have discovered that our favourite restaurant by Loch Tay (we’ll be going to that area a week tomorrow) has had a catastrophic fire and doesn’t appear to be open for business. Plus, the local deli (which sold excellent smoked goods and loads of other stuff to make bees happy) appears to be shut. Mr Bee is very disappointed, indeed. I have pointed out job losses, distress to locals etc…
Ugh.

You’ve just given me that rarest of things, a welcome earworm, which I have no qualms about sharing:

A panel on the right of my screen is asking me if my reply improves the conversation in some way. I doubt that very much, but I’m replying all the same because I’m thrilled to have rediscovered the cellar!
I don’t expect anyone remembers me since I really wasn’t very memorable but I used to join you in the cellar in my previous incarnation (Daughter of Manannan) years and years ago in the BBC cellar days. And if there’s one thing I remember about it - apart from lots of lovely people, obviously - it’s the freely available booze.
So any chance of a drink? I could do with one.
