Days 595 to 599

I decided to leave a blog entry until Ev and I had seen the King's Speech. For once I think a film is worthy of all the hype. It has a super cast, is well written and Directed.

It's been a busy old night though with a Hospital Radio Committee meeting as well. Speaking of Radio, both my guests for last Thursday's show had to call off for a variety of reasons. However I was lucky in that Carol Bridgestock one of the organisers of a writing competition was able to come in very much at the last minute to tell us about the various entries received. My guest this Thursday in complete contrast will be Alex Welford of Age UK who is going to talk about that organisation's fit as a fiddle programme.

I don't know if fit as a fiddle would describe me just now. The various radio projects certainly keep me busy. The shop from where I have been getting my newspaper has stopped selling papers so I have a slightly longer walk to do. This may or may not be a good thing.

Acid attacks seem to come down to one a week. I had another one last night and not for the first time I can't offer any explanation as to why. On the bright side there does not appear to be any fluid on the lungs or elsewhere. A source of momentary alarm today was the bathroom weighing machine. For reasons best known to itself the weight was shown in pounds rather than stones and pounds. You can imagine my surprise when the scales showed 184 when previously I was 13 stone one pound. After some thought I worked out I had put on a pound.

That's it for this report more probably next Monday.
