Sometimes the easier way is the right way.
So, last week I made a trestle for the workshop. It took around an hour including some time spent chatting with the painters and decorators in the cottage.
Then, when there were more folk in the workshop I started on the second trestle. Yeah, we're currently four, make that six hours in on this job. So much for all that "If it takes a man an hour ( Read more... ) -
On Wonky Donkeys
First of all, let me make my position clear on this. I was very much on the 'well, crap meat is crap, qu'elle surprise' side of the argument till I started looking onto it. Now? Not so much. I'm fucking angry.
One crisis, two problems.
The first, lesser issue, isn't the fact that some beef lasagne contains horse meat (arguably a better quality meat ( Read more... ) -

[Testo] December 2012
After my red blood cell count (RBC) went high and my clotting factor (CF) also gave cause for concern again this year, it was decided to take me off injected TRT and put me back onto gel.
I'll be honest, I'm not happy about this as, in the past, my absorption of T via gel has been poor and I end up with elevated estradiol levels. There's usually an ( Read more... ) -
That Festive Feeling...
Well, according to what I'm seeing on the TV and in the papers, okay, adverts... this is the time of year to be going around with a cheery grin on my shiny face, trilling Christmas carols and scattering cinnamon and nutmeg scented glitter everywhere.
And, as always, I'm not.
I think my enthusiasm for the whole Festive Season peaked away back in ( Read more... ) -
Testo Update
OK, previous update might have come over as a bit 'whiny' but here's the weird bit, I actually feel OK.
Tired, washed out, definitely wobbly (avoiding all sentimental music, films, tv ads, etc) and have no energy (20 minute drive into town and back, I could sleep. Shattered). But this is me feeling 'okay', okay?

Testosterone... the journey goes on.
A few months back I had some bloods done before my latest TRT shot. Week or so later I get a letter hauling me in to see the Endo as, once again, my red blood cell count was doing the freaky shit and we were back in Polycythemia County.
As this has happened before and the Endo is concerned that my blood will clot too quickly / blood pressure will ( Read more... ) -

"Not a helpful attitude"
So i troll along to my local hospital every so often to have my weight and blood pressure checked. There's a sort of ritual to it.
Arrive, sit in the waiting room, contemplate the posters and the water cooler, try to get my pulse rate down to something approaching normal after driving through town centre traffic and looking for parking space close ( Read more... )
