Hip update

It is fine as long as I rest it, otherwise it remains painfull. A quick visit to a walk in medical centre confirmed bruising only and a supply of very strong painkillers, which worked immediately.

Knackered hip

Having made slow but steady progress health-wise over recent weeks I set myself back considerably by falling in the living room with a huge thump, damaging my left hip somewhat, making walking and getting upstairs difficult. Having suffered at the hands of Leicester A and E previously (7 months walking on a broken leg) I decided to rest it for a few days, in the hope it was only bruising, which it was. Four days later the hip is much improved but walking remains slow.

Nothing new

It is extremely quiet on the western front, but I suspect it will explode in due course. The rumours have stopped,perhaps the rumour-monger's have just got cold feet?

Amazon owes £200 million in unpaid tax

The EU courts have decided amazon owe £20Omillion in unpaid tax and expect them to repay it quickly,following a similar decision against Apple for a far larger amount.

Predicted scores league

Having totally missed the first week of the season my team, Sidonie, is quietly creeping  up the league table, almost unnoticed. The idea is to predict Premier league scores as accurately as possible in return for points. Naturally Sidonie racked up a fat O for the first game and is currently playing catch-up, quite successfully it seems.

Indoor bowls returns

Having opted out of outdoor bowls during the "summer" I hope to return to action this afternoon, indoors. Results should be interesting. Watch this space.

My health has been up and down in the interim, and to be honest I am starting to be frustrated at the lack of any real progress and not helped by the further delay in returning my driving licence. I would love to meet the so-called consultant deemed responsible for the apparent daft experimental simultaneous treatment of chemotherapy and radiopherapy but he has "left" the hospital very quietly without trace. SHAME. I have reserved a cubicle in A and E for him.

Would you believe it, bowls was cancelled due to a clashed booking and I am on the Isle of Man next week.

Hurricane tail ends.

Fortunately the 3 hurricanes which devastated much of the USA appear to have missed us,allowing us to visit Warwick castle, now owned and well maintained by the meridian Group. You need to have won the lottery to enter.nothing is cheap,although it is well worth a visit.
