I heard the Ophthalmologist walking towards the lobby/ waiting room and logic told me it had to be for me – and I was right. “Your turn, Mac,” he smiled as he ushered me through a double swing door and into a consulting room. He was his normal cheerful self. I liked this surgeon; I liked his... Sign in to see full entry.

“Good Morning.” I greeted the 5 people seated in the waiting room’s hard chairs, and the man in the wheelchair. The silent non-response was deafening. To be honest, I’d greeted them more out of surprise than any hope of conversation. The waiting room wasn’t a waiting room so much as the lobby of two... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi Andy This sorry tale should perk you up. First of all, let me set the scene. I was driving into the gym this morning, pleased that I hadn’t made a fool of myself at the first tennis game a few days earlier. I was driving as most people do, with 99.99% of my brain on anything else except the... Sign in to see full entry.

As suggested by Pat_B, this is a reply to the previous post’s Scottish Romantic poem. Written by my Scot's buddy. An’ I love you as well ma dear You'll always be my man When I first set my eyes on you I thought you were just grand Your slicked back hair, your snazzy suit Your chat up line was class...

The cancer is in its early stages. My insignificant... Sign in to see full entry.

It is time I lightened up, and caught up with the world of Blogit. As Azur commented, I should be writing bits to take me out of my spiralling tiredness. And what better day than this. My friend’s cancer is operable, thank God. The sun is shining and it is +12C. The penetrating warmth of sunshine... Sign in to see full entry.

.... that it is 14 days since my last post and bewildered that it is only 14 days? The past fortnight has been a maelstrom of ups and downs. The colonoscopy is behind me, so to speak, with negative results. Even when the surgeon shook my hand I didn’t consider where the hand had just been, I was so... Sign in to see full entry.

Sorry about the lack of ice-breaking photographs, majroj. I thought about it but discarded the idea. Because there was snow falling at the time, the camera would just have taken an image of funny white stuff, a bit like the old fashioned television signals. I can post photographs of Sam standing on... Sign in to see full entry.

I read an article in the free paper this week – this was before my eyes started watering and etc. The writer informed us that Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox. Can’t you just hear the wolves howling and the ancients foretelling doom and destruction to the... Sign in to see full entry.

Is it when I am beaten twice at pool in the course of one week by 8 games to 2? Not quite. Is it when I am beaten 8 to 2, as I was this morning, by an opponent who is legally blind in one eye? Not quite. Is it when I am beaten by an opponent who is legally blind in one eye, and who two days earlier... Sign in to see full entry.
