Chicken BLT, suitably biased towards Bacon.

Feel better Antionio, would some Essex Coffee Art help?

Saw a big blue Cock in Trafalgar Square.

OK Pretended to be Colin

Side effect of lowering BOM cost http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/10/18/iphone_5_teardown_shows_faulty_leveling/ Looks like a calibration app will fix it - each unit has an individual fixed variance from default.

Had a far too eventful day ... Had a nice Lunch (Bacon included) with Mum + My Sister, Brother in law, + nephew. Then later when shopping Mum took a tumble. Called 999 and a nice paramedic turned up. Mum OK. Paramedic drove her home. Then assessed that other than a split lip all was well. Lots of cups of tea all round. The UK. Free healthcare with every purchase.

Me Happy

Time for some Russian style dash cams? In other news; Things that make swollen knee's feel better. In California: flexible cooling pads from the freezer. In the UK wheat grain heating bag/pad warmed in the microwave. Knee prefers CA.

Happy (same day) birthday! Bought to you by jet lag.

Happy Belated, Peter.

Thx for the well wishes. Survived the trip. Zombie Gunship took my mind off my knee. Can recommend wheelchair service for the rabbit warren that is LHR T3. They even have their own dedicated immigration lane, so no mixing with the hoi palloi. Pity all it takes is a gammy knee. Saw the rain and the roadworks on the M25 - some things never change. EDIT: oh yes, and a months worth of unlimited data / 300 mins voice / 3000 texts from three PAYG for only 15 quid FTW (via factory unlocked nexus 4)

Thx, and extra legroom FTW. Also wimped out and requested wheelchair service at LHR.

Found out from the blood work / culture results that my knee, while still swollen is not infected (as far as they can tell) when I asked if would be better if it was infected (and thus providing a cause for the swelling) I was told that infected knee's are not doctor recommended. So now I'm about to subject it to 10+ hours of transatlantic flight. What could possibly go wrong? I have an MRI booked on my return, so we'll see what they say - maybe "non specific inflammation" if it's a repeat of 20 years ago (same symptoms/onset - but no root cause - resolved itself over 6 months) Weather on journey down to SFO was glorious. Brother in Law said weather in UK was cold, wet and crap. No change there then Now "enjoying" obligatory overpriced generic airport fare. I'm Back in two weeks. Joanne may act as my chauffeur, then spend more time with her elderly mother, returning later. It's not like she has a job to rush back to now...

Basically, Coz English youth, like, aint as extra cultured as you may have thought, innit, yeah?

Compensating much, perhaps? Did I mention I have one of these . Apparently it doesn't weigh anything, according to the published specs

Happy Birthday Vicki, I hope Watson realizes today is all about you!

Joanne's Lamb Curry, Mikey's chickpea curry, more fixin's then strawbs, cream, ice cream etc. Lots of tasty food with great company (Mikey, Claire, and an overworked Al: Hope the Lime Pickle helped)
