Sat outside a cafe next to the Whitechapel gallery and next to a sign for an anarchist bookshop and thought of zou . Add to that a woman on the next table asked if we were there for the anarchist book fair and workshops taking place in the gallery. Never, ever, have I been mistaken for an anarchist. To be fair though, she was as mad as a bucket of frogs! You do seem to attract them!

My 11-year-old grandson got his black/white stripe belt for kickboxing yesterday. He's as pleased as punch and keen to go on for his full black belt.

The forecast for tomorrow is sunny and we are unable to head to Essex as planned as Mum has Ye Plague. So we are going to go to a ploughing match and I will burn some film.
I have a Nikon F50 to try out, plus a part-used film in a camera from that dodgy bloke in the pub, and I'll try another freebie as well. Life could be worse.

There had to be some nice moments from my hospital experience
The third time I needed the loo and instead of just getting a commode the nurse who simply said "Can you go by yourself or do you need a commode?" I said if she could lower the bed an inch or so then I could manage. she did, I managed. Win, win on both sides, I just went when I needed to, which was more dignified than having to ask and meant she didn't have to find the bloody thing and empty it afterwards
The nurse who gave me the call button and showed me how to use it unlike the one who vaguely waved it in my direction before putting it out of my reach then getting mad at me because the only way I could get their attention was to disconnect myself from the monitors
The nurse who when I was threatening to discharge myself because I couldn't go for a cigarette immediately ordered a wheelchair and took me out. Okay I suspect an ulterior motive as she lit up as well and got on her mobile for a natter to a friend but I just so needed to break from it all
Someone I think it was a nurse who after I'd begged for ages for something to eat as it was now 3am in the morning and I'd last had a couple of chocolate biscuits with my 11am coffee the day before gave me a cheese sandwich and quite a nice one too. I had a happy little 5 minutes with my little snack
Another nurse who after I attempted to eat the chicken goujons etc got me a couple of extra toffee yogurts to take the taste away afterwards
And the CT people who laughed at my joke as I went in the scanner for the first time one of them said "That's as far as it goes in"
What could I say when I popped out again but that old classic "As the actress said to the bishop"
And the porter who waited for me when I was collecting my drugs for 40 minutes
And the one doctor who actually listened to me

I'm back to the weight I was when I got married - 8 stone and half a pound.
That'll do.

And from the various snippets that you have related, down the years (both here, and on AP)... I'd have to agree.  |

We got married mostly to have a very big party.

Since so many were coming from North and South, the evening before party was great as was the reception. A lot of fun. |
