Doggy Discectomy

Last night's telly viewing included Super Vets on BBC 1 (mainly because finding the remote was too much effort for all...) and to my surprise my Mum wasn't worried (Which is a surprise as she refuses to watch hospital programs!)about Tommy having an operation on his back....a doggy discectomy if you will. Whilst I hadn't lost the use of my hind legs, I guess the procedure is the same...pretty much! :s Anyway, that is probably as close to an operating theatre any of us want to get...:D

Pandora

I was flicking throught the Observer Music Monthly and I saw a letter from a 14 year old who uses Pandora.com to broaden her listening repertoire, so I thought I'd try it out myself...I started off with The Barenaked Ladies and then added Wagon Christ and Nelly Furtado so a broad mix of music was selected for me using data collected by The Music Genome Project...It seems like a fab way of introducing yourself to different artists, you can save favorites, publish the faves to your blog, share the station and even buy the music from iTunes...It is definately worth playing with more when I get my laptop back (I only managed a quick play tonight).

Something for 'Got five minutes...' perhaps?

Supposing ... Computers are deliberately wasting our time

I just read this on the Back page of yesterdays G2 and I thought that it was quite true...

Reading Material

Recently I've been able to concentrate on a bit of reading, when I haven't been doing floor exercises and amusing Sunshine, and I have managed to complete 2 books...'The Reading Group' by Elizabeth Noble and 'The Conjuror's Bird' by Martin Davis. I thoroughly enjoyed the latter it was a good mystery/light adventure story and well worth a read on a summer holiday or the such like. The Reading Group was a bit more heavy going in respect of the emotional content of the book...although it just could have been the drugs which made it hard to read!!
I'm about to start 'A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian' by Marina Lewycka...hopefully this will be a good read too!

Norfolk Sunset

There was a fantastic sunset on Saturday night

and so I had fun with some raindrops...
there are some more here

Un-stapled

My clips came out this afternoon..so hopefully lying on my back will be a bit more comfortable! For those of you who are not too squeamish there's a picture here. (Don't worry they're in a packet! No flesh in evidence!)
