Hi!

[alexandral]

Thank you so much to all of you for thoughtful messages, and birthday wishes! I haven’t been posting for ages, mostly due to the back problems, which haven’t got better yet. A short sitrep of my back-related woes so that you know what is going on: I have been to the doctor many times, with various diagnoses - from SI joint to sciatica due to disk

Eee! I've missed you! So sad to hear about your ongoing back and now leg problems. I'm hoping the test will give you the answers you need to get better soon.

I haven't watched all of GOT season 2 either, and I'm missing a few episodes at the end. I'm sorry, but I felt the second season was just a bit of a mess. I found it to be inconsistent in characterisation and several plots just dragged. I have however just finished the third season of Breaking Bad, which was just excellent. Seriously, it was some of the best television I've seen in ages. (Though not appropriate to see together with you daughter I'm afraid.)

And I'm selfish, and don't want you to move platforms. ;)

Oh, I have heard of Breaking Bad and was thinking of watching it too. I will as soon as I finish my re-watch of "The Wire" (which I have been doing veeeeeeeeery slowly: when doing ironing and other jobs).

Bad backs are no fun. If this persists I might cut my work hours down. I am still doing 4 days a week and can't really do less right now (due to various money commitments), but if this persists into the winter, I will have to do something serious.

It was QoT who recommended Breaking Bad to me, and I'm so glad she did. Great acting, and great plot. It took a few episodes for me to get the hang of it, but by ep 4 I was pretty much hooked.

Bad backs are horrid. I've had some back problems myself, though thankfully only minor, but I know a little about how frustrating and painful it can be. *hugs*

Also - EEEEEEEE! So glad to her from you, I hope everything is good with you and your family!

Everything is great! (a bit stressed, but for me that's usual. ;) ) I'm handing in my dissertation this fall, so right now I'm pretty much chained to my computer.
