Afternoon

[SueEllen]

Just tried a kale, cucumber and pineapple juice using the new Nutri Nijna thingie we bought yesterday.

Not as bad as I feared.

Mean while I had a pizza after going for run.

[eek]

In South Park listening to the second of the four school bands that are playing (twins are in all except for the last one).

if only the sun could make its mind up and stay out for more than five minutes against time

Pleasant cycle this morning, followed by a snooze.

Now to get on with the stuff I was supposed to do this weekend...

Starting with lunch!

[BrilloPad]

I cycled 34 miles today.

36 miles here. Flattish though.

[WTFH]

Just cut the grass. Time to walk The Dog (tw) in this glorious sunshine.

My mum is apparently feeling well, but they're talking about operating to deal with a pretty severe blockage in her carotid artery.

Said blockage first came to light four years ago when they were dealing with an unrelated matter, and they said she was too old for them to operate on it - too risky. But now, the stroke chap is saying she's 95% likely to have a stroke very soon if it isn't dealt with, whereas if it is dealt with, that goes down to 5%. So they seem to think the tradeoff is now worth it.

But she's also been told previously that it wouldn't be safe for her to ever have a general anaesthetic again. So they're looking at the idea of doing it with local anaesthetic

On the bright side, if they go ahead and it all goes well, she could be home by the end of the week. But still, it's all very worrying

Anyway, apart from that, she's feeling fine in herself, so that's good

In other news, bought 5 doughnuts from Morrisons only to find they weren't the Standard Raspberry (flavour), but were instead cappuccino, which came as a bit of a surprise.

However, for 5p WGAS, & they've all gone now.

Morning!

Mulling over a coffee how I'm going to play the next few weeks.

Eek really *is* right, treat it as a game - most of this IT lark isn't important. It will still work, just not very well or very efficiently.

I just now have to treat it more lik Monopoly than Cludo.

Yup.

I will happily tell the business what they need to do, and how to do it and what the risks are if they don't. If they decide not to do it they get the bonus of signing something to the effect that if it all goes tits up they can't say they weren't warned. After that it's their call.

Everything else is
