OK, Granny News Flash:  She came home from hospital yesterday morning and is being monitored with regular blood tests for how her system is doing with regards to the levels of Nasty Crap Residue that's in there.  I spoke to Mum this evening, and Granny is eating and watching the news.  So that's all alright then :)

Otherwise in the World of Dock, I' ( Read more... )

Right, the situation is this:

In a nutshell, the tablets that she takes for one thing or another (she takes a zillion a day, all carefully regulated by Mother) are poisoning her.  Seriously.  Her kidneys have stopped processing them and the build up is poisoning her system.  I mean, only in my family...

Hurrah, it's Friday!  And it's payday=takeaway dinner day.  And it's the last day of work I've got to work for a whole week, so what's not to like?  I have various things to do this weekend which might end in my early demise, so bear with me...There's also the small matter of replacing the computer chair...See, we've had it for the better part of ( Read more... )

For your eyeballs are about to be assaulted by a truly hideous vision.  It knocks the whole trick that Medusa had going on into a cocked hat, so don't say you weren't clearly warned.  Incidentally, where did Medusa have snakes?  All over?  Under-arm?  Did they object to the deoderant or did they bite the top off the bottle in a hissy (sorry) fit?  ( Read more... )
