I'm extending the hiatus to indefinite now, because the laptop I was going to buy on Wednesday had increased in price in two days! I'm hoping it'll decrease next week because now that I've spent all week thinking about it, I really want it and all the other laptops at that price seem rubbish in comparison. It's an Acer Aspire 5742, in case anyone's interested. Currently the cheapest available price is Amazon, but it's out of stock. So, still no internet at home.
And, to make life more interesting, I am now sporting a stylish black wrist support on my left wrist. I've had pain around my scaphoid bone since an over-adventurous trip to the gym back in August, and at first I thought it would fade away, but it didn't so I went to my gp and was slowly and surely referred to a hospital clinic because they don't stock bandages and braces in my local medical practice, apparently. Today I had a long trip out to Salford Royal Hospital, out in Eccles, and a real nightmare trying to find their Appliances and Orthotics department, but was only there for about three minutes before I had exactly what I needed. I now can't move my wrist, in order to give it a chance to heal properly. I can just about type, but can't lift, push, pull, carry etc. Getting dressed tomorrow will be interesting. However, I went through the same thing last May after I injured the same place so I think it should heal fairly quickly. I then I need to do some kind of physiotherapy, because I'm pretty sure my left arm is fatter and weaker than the right arm after four months of carrying any heavy things only on one side. This is what happens when you hit 24, apparently.
But, I shall not dwell, as after work today I am getting the train to London to visit my friends Roe and Katie for another Bollywood weekend. This is the third time we've met up just to eat, gossip, and watch Indian films, and I always enjoy it. I am bringing Chak De! India purely on loneraven's recommendation and Roe has Kal Ho Naa Ho which I've wanted to see for ages, so it promises to be a good weekend. Fingers crossed that either me or James gets a new computer next week!
