Last 'hospital Friday', I walked away with one of the best bruises ever. Took 2 weeks to disappear. No such bruise this time. But I did get the nurse that reliably leaves me with a beeping widgamy after an air bubble in my drip.

Sometimes lately, I am making a point of going through the Vic Market on my way to get CDs. A friend and I used to 'race' each other through the crowds. Now I have decided that the Vic Market Challenge is a good way to get a feel for how unco I am. Many skills are tested while navigating a crowded shed.

I have had some practical demonstration about the wonder of ecosystems. Now that my cat has fixed the mouse (rodent) problem, we have a roach problem. It's a real lesson in life when you realise that the mice were probably keeping the roaches in line.

Work has been real busy still. But the tension is a little better this last week. Possibly because it reached a point where I had a chat with someone about how bad it was getting. I am happy that it's eased off, but a little part of me wonders about the conversations that might have happened to get it eased.

Also at work - I seem to have earned my first nickname. From a guy who is nice enough to get away with it.

Now that Slappa have an Australian distributor... I've been on a minor spree. Might get a few more things soon, as well.
