True: Every time, every day, I have to give name, birthday, and home post code in the room to make sure the radiotherapy machine is set for the right person. This morning they forgot to ask. Me: you forgot to ask my name ! Operator (sweet girl from New Zealand): ok, tell me your name.... Me: no I wo...

Anyone seen that news item about the vast increase in people with mental health issues ? As Rod Liddle wrote in last week's Sunday Times, "I can't be arsed to put out the bins for rubbish collection because I've got mental health issues..."

Morning all. A grey start to the day. Legs aching but hardly surprising given the walking I'm doing each day.

Independent today: "Spending a lot of time on the computer may be linked to an increased risk of erectile dysfunction in men, researchers have said. A study of more than 200,000 men indicates that for every additional 1.2 hours spent using a computer, the chances of experiencing erectile dysfunction...

Charlie One Six, I do that with my annual vehicle inspections in Spain. Book 'em in the last days of the year for which they are valid for the following month. In police road checks they accept an expired certificate if the test appointment has been made for the near future. That way I gain a year e...

Eye exam this morning, the usual after lunch. That's if I have time for lunch.

Correction to my last post. The Sun has got his Hat on. He's coming out to Play...

Morning all. Supposed to be turning cold here at the weekend but today is mild, if grey.

Hydro, Mrs OFSO was exhausted for months and lost her appetite after her knee infection. Was told it wasn't the surgery to install the knee joint but the infection. A grey start to the day but 18° forecast. Will soon have to discard the Heatech pullovers which I've been wearing since last autumn. Te...

Horrors this morning. Had to have my toenails clipped. I have super sensitive toenails. Makes me writhe. I'd rather have either radiation zapping or dental root canal - or both at the same time - than my toenails cut. Especially when Mrs OFSO insists on freeing the sides of the toenails from the sur...

Morning all. A sunny dawn followed by clouds moving in.

He had H up on the carpet the next morning with his boss from Airworks, sent packing on the spot. Dreadful really. ...

Talking to an old colleague the other day, reminiscing about former days at the Ops Control Centre in Darmstadt. "Whatever happened to old so-and-so ?" Oh didn't you hear, frightful scandal. He had to leave. "What happened ?" Well, remember those interminable night shifts, a pass every ninety minute...
