my first coffee in a week
my first coffee in a week Originally uploaded by cafedave. It’s good to be drinking coffee again: I like the taste and the texture of it; after a week, I think the grip of the caffeine has loosened a little.

going to lamp
Pending being well enough to get all my work done in time, it looks like I’m going to lamp in a couple of weeks!
nothing to worry about
Sheesh. When you have a sore chest for a couple of hours after exercising, there are certainly a lot of things that you need to do before the doctors are happy with you… ECG (normal), blood pressure check (up a bit, then back to normal), then blood tests (results back in two days). Failing any …
the return of the car
Another day, another car repair. This time, I’m hoping it’s the last one.

It’s amazing how long you …
