Get well soon Tom.

Thank you all. I really appreciate your messages, it's unexpected and very humbling.

I will do a proper update once I get my head around things. XX

Good luck on the recuperation

Unlucky on the hospital catering

I had some surgery last year at the same hospital that I worked in the kitchen of many years ago, and their catering has vastly improved.

I imagine someone high up in the health authority has been convinced of the rehabilitative benefit of excessively good nutrition rather than meeting minimum requirements.

It's a shame that this isn't a bit more uniform across the whole of the country.

Get well soon Tom

Oh my, I miss a couple of days and the wheels fall off a Blonde lynch pin. I'm sorry to hear your news and I hope you'll be back to normalish very soon.

Looks about right.

Welcome to the club Tom.

It does, I hate taking tablets etc I had to have 2 cups of tea at the same time at one point one for knocking back the meds and another to sip and enjoy.

F'kin middle age huh.

quelle surprise

won the warm up for 43k and SCOOP number 6 of the series

A poker related one to report today, as David Sklansky has died, aged 78.

More famous for his books than his achievements at the tables, especially The Theory of Poker, which was something of a revelation when released.

His reputation suffered somewhat in later years, particularly with his connection to the Brandi Hawbaker dramas that led to her suicide.

Given that I have a stack of his books within my collection, I thought it was worthy of a mention.

Silent reader, but always enjoy your life musings. Apart from the Jeeves Diary, yours is number one on here.

Speedy recovery and good luck remembering which tablet to take when. Oh, and try to rest up a bit and take it easy awhile.

Speedy recovery Tom 

Isn’t it great that we have an NHS that can respond like this.
Yeah, there are snags and snafus sometimes, and the catering can sometimes be less appetising than we’d like but, when it comes to the nitty gritty stuff about taking care of us when we might not have done it delivers.

I’m sure you’ll be back out there on the golf course soon Tom and in the meantime I hope Mrs Red is tending to your every need as you recover.
