Turned into a lovely sunny afternoon, albeit with a glorious rainbow over the valley, boyo, there's tidy then butty bach.

It almost brightened up a little here, but now it's going dark instead

UTIs seem to happen a lot to the elderly, and come with a lot of unpleasant side effects. Both my parents have had one or more over the last year or so, and they can be quite alarming yet very rapidly recovered from

Easy come, easy go. At least you aren’t left in the lurch by its demise

It was longer than a morning so no, I beat that hands down.

Sorry to hear about the other stuff. <-manly no s


Tea this evening was the remains of the roast beef from a week last Sunday with carrots and onions.

Despite there being rather too much of it, it was very nice.

Followed as ever by 1.05 pints of Good Glengettie Tea.

The evening's entertainment began with the commentary on Angel S3 E9 which was amusing enough, thereafter being BTVS S6 E12 & 13 interleaved with Angel S3 E12 & 13, this last being where Angel & co go to the ballet. No good shall come of this.

The BTVS eps started with "Double Meat Palace" wherein Buffy gets a job flipping burgers to bring in the cash.

Just to make my evening complete, the bluray player decided to flip its lid & not respond to commands so I went & unboxed the spare one.

Now, of course, it's decided to work again.

<hiatus>

Well there's a thing: the ballet ep of Angel was Summer Glau's acting debut, leading to Firefly, Serenity (which I still haven't watched) and The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

And I didn't recognise her at all.

My grandmother was taken in weekend before last as she was hallucinating like a good 'un. Practically given last rights, family all told to visit, etc.

UTI was the first suspect. Turns out it's also caused by low potassium too. She doesn't eat properly (stomach cancer that she'll die with, not of) so after being drip fed vitamins and calories she's bright as a button again and my parents are faced with WTF to do with her as she simply won't eat.

Ostrich steak, mushrooms & onion with a light American salad (chlorine washed).

Washed down with a nice Cabernet.

feeling mellow!

Eating is actually driven a lot by memories, maybe find something healthy she associates with memories?
