Meg seems to be amusing herself destroying the cardboard box that used to contain her toys.

Marvellous .

Can also be used to keep 2 year old humans amused.

The cardboard box that is. Although, thinking about it, probably both the box and the dog .


PS Have you caught up with the darts after the power cut?

Yes and the appointment is later in the morning but I want (need?) this test done sooner rather than later to try to get to the bottom of things. Some of the hormone levels were so low in the first test they want to confirm them plus they suspect I'm anaemic but that wasn't in the remit of the first test.

Bl00dy hell Steve thats a pain to say the least! Hope it goes better for you tomorrow.

I want to get to the bottom of it Andy, I've no energy, can't motivate myself, get tired very easily, sleep does nothing to alleviate it. Yesterday I was making a couple of stakes to stabilise a big pot in the garden, cutting a point in the end with a saw I had to keep stopping and resting for a minute. The lack of energy could, at least in part, be explained by anaemia. The liver problem doesn't help either, its involved in far more things than we realise, its still performing its main function adequately but seems to be at the expense of other stuff it does, hence the hormone levels they want to recheck. Once the docs know what's causing this then we can see what steps can be taken to combat it because its frustrating and annoying.

These were taken through the (rather dirty) window of the studio. Today I'll be cleaning the glass and seeing if I can get some more Birdy pictures

Boris enjoys watching them too
