Alive and Kicking

Right, back again.

But perhaps not for too long; we'll see.
Now, explanations.

I got scunnered with blogging for a while - it has this tendency to take over your life a little, and if the events of the past few months have proved anything, life is far too short to fart about on a blog.
So, after I stopped blogging, work took it's course, and then things went to hell in a handbasket.

Into hospital for a keyhole op; artery got damaged, and i came within a few minutes of bleeding to death (it's true, by the way, when you're on the way out with blood loss you just feel amazingly warm, comfy and drowsy). So, a nurse happened along, hit the crash team alert, and next thing I'm surrounded by nurses (nice) and rather serious looking doctors (uh-oh) who are resuscitating me and getting me down to the OR sharpish.
Last time i looked (when they were putting a 6 inch tube down my jugular - fun, you should try it, heh!) BP was 57 over 35 and pulse at 162.
Impressive, but not good.

......... anyway, they saved me, which was good.
In fact, the docs and nurses in SRI were just amazing, and the level of care was truly moving.
And 11 days later i got the staples out of my tum and was left with a most dashing 15" scar.
Quite proud of that, I was.
Then I had 3 months to recuperate, and here we are.

So, what's the agenda going to be?
Well, in the last few weeks I've been eyeing the blog scene.
It's either not very nice, or a bit flat, so in the first instance I'm going to confine myself to very occasional posts.

Bear with me, and we'll see how it goes.

Best as ever
