    Well it has been a while!

    ..oh yes it has, far too long.

    Well it started off with generally "feeling out of sorts" in early December, then came the flu between Chrimbo and the New Year, and from that it seems I'm a little prone to blood clots.

     

    I had a DVT last year which wasn't particularly nice, then after my flu went in early Jan I still felt congested and had trouble breathing.  So off to the docs I went, he couldn't find much wrong.  Thing got a little tough a few days later so off I went to A&E on the 10th.......and got out on the 15th.  I had multiple Pulmonary Embuli (I think that's the plural), basically blood clots in the lungs.  Now back on the old rat poison and unable to enjoy a decent knees up *HUMPH*.

    Even worse..I've not been able to attend any of my guitar lessons since early December and haven't really been up to any practice at home.  I guess I've a new challenge for this New Year.

    Ramble over

    Happy 2008 all!

    ....whilst on the slow hour drive to Heathrow this morning, that after spending most of the past 7 years commuiting nearly every day, I really fancy doing something a little different.

    Answers on a postcard to the usual address.

    Being Mexican, is it a Fender or a Fender Squier ?
    Or something else ?

    Hmm ... I can see it now, but only if I highlight the text ? Dashed weird !

    Must be some kind of temporal shift between Coventry and the outside world; it happened once before a few years ago.

    Mind, I'm not surprised society would wish to hide Coventry away in the attic as if it were some illegitimate, and rather sinister offspring ... ?

    Did you type anything, or were you just messing with my mind, man ?
