Back in from my perambulation around this part of sarf herts. Made it out to the Kelvin Aqueduct, a round trip of 11km. Soon be time to head to ClientCo for fun, fun, fun. Sorry, work, work, work.

Except to read Monday links of course!

Thats what I thought.

Permie on my bank of desks has spent the last goodness knows how long on the phone trying to get a new mobile phone deal on a Samsung 9+ or some such.

Tell them the 10+ is in beta and will be released soon, they would be better holding off.

Teleconference done, Channel 4 switched on...

Chap I know tweeted yesterday that he was in hospital with suspected appendicitis. Today he tweeted that they'd found it wasn't appendicitis, and he still had his appendix.

Me: "I hope they found out from the outside and not while they were in there."

Him: "Nope."

If they'd opened him up they might as well have taken it out.

Now he'll have a scar that'll make doctors think it's gone when it hasn't.

Speaking as a Doctor I find this very strange.

In other news the white brick pig sty has had the couple of cwt of builders sand that's graced the floor since 2012 put tidily into the old NPT bottle bins.

Said bottle bins are now too heavy to move of course so it was just as well I put them where I wanted them to go.

During this exercise I found another of Zeity's relatives was living in said pig sty, to whit a little newt.

There's quite a lot of those in the garden but you only notice them when tidying stuff up.

Stone me I am knackered.

If they did it using keyhole surgery (laparoscopy), I think they initially make a small incision to get in there and have a look, then have to make one or more additional incisions to get it out. If they found it didn't need to come out, they presumably wouldn't want to make the extra incisions (with associated increased risk of bad things like infection) for the sake of removing a healthy organ.

But now they think it may be diverticulitis, so maybe they'll be going back in later

Sounds plausible.

I was so knackered earlier that I fell asleep in the chair.

I'm beginning to think there may be sommat wrong.

Tea/dinner this evening was some M&S breaded haddock followed by some stewed raspberries and custard.

It was quite nice.

The family pack of mushrooms is beginning to show its age, but they fried ok.

Accuracy of lie detector tests: roughly zero.

Yet another example of tulipe science.
