Happy New Year


It's been a strange week. Was supposed to go back to work on Wednesday afternoon as I had a hospital appointment in the morning. As I managed to faint before I'd even got in to see the specialist, I had to have loads of tests and stuff, the end result being my getting out so late, it wasn't worth going back to work. I have to have an operation some time in the next six months (good old NHS) which will involve my stomach being cut open, gas being blown in, people with cameras, and one, or maybe two, weeks off work. I am planning on purchasing the complete set of Open All Hours, as the three days immediately afterwards, I will be confined to my bed. So that's that.

Work was a complete waste of time. Pointless. Frustratingly so. Phuh.

Hefty's family descended upon us on Saturday for the weekend. The clan consists of his parents and two brothers. The house was certainly full! Good job we have four bedrooms and three floors ey! It was fun, but hard work, and when it came to yesterday evening when we were finally on our own, we were knackered. Didn't really want to stay up for NY stuff. Hate it anyway, who wants to celebrate January? It means a whole nother year til my birthday and Christmas, which is just shit frankly. Anyways, we had agreed to go over to our neighbours, for a take-away and quiet evening in. This was precisely what we got, and was great! We were all flagging by about 11pm, but forced ourselves to stay up. That bloody Kaplinski woman is on every goddam programme ever, and I'm sick of her. Her presence on the NY countdown show was, like every other thing she's on, pointless. And she looked awful, which makes it worse.

Today, we did NOTHING. The first day of rest we've had since Christmas began!! And we needed it. We got up late, ate pancakes, watched Supergirl, Garth Marenghi with commentary, and ate some more stuff. Tonight we're going to watch Serenity, which may inspire me to watch the series of Firefly again. I wish I had the rest of the week off to spend my days like this. It rules. Strangely, I feel less depressed today than I did on Boxing Day though, which is all very odd. I do think we should have a Boxing Day for NY too though, like they get in Scotland. Especially as tomorrow is Sherlock Holmes day on ITV3. It's not fair! Why wasn't it today!! Grrr.

Anyway, so that's stuff and things. Happy New Year folks, let's hope it's as interesting and varied as the last one.

sorry to hear about your health problems. though two weeks off watching Open All Hours sounds like hella fun!

Did Arkwright ever manage to get it on with Nurse Gladys in the end?

I hope to find out. When I do, you will be the first to know. I'm thinking yes, but something in the pit of my soul says no.
