• Best foot forward

    It’s been a week since I broke my foot and today is the first day I feel I can concentrate enough to get some work done. It seems my broken foot addled my brain slightly. I went back to the hospital this morning so they could have another look. They decided to put the foot in a plaster cast and have told me that in the next few days I should be able to walk short distances on it.
    They modern cast is fibreglass rather than plaster of paris. When the roll of fibreglass is made wet it starts an exothermic reaction. The heat drys the fibreglass in minutes so a short push on my foot by Paul the technician and my foot is set in the best angle.
    Now I’ve had both my wrists in plaster and one foot, I guess I can look forward to breaking the other foot one day in the future.


  • Sharpe's Devil (Bernard Cornwell)

    It’s taken me a month or so to add this to my recent reading list. I didn’t enjoy it as much as the other sharpe books. It is the last in the series, bringing Sharpe and his Sergeant out of retirement to search for a friend who is missing. En route they meet Napoleon, survive a sea battle, capture some fortresses adn beat a tyrant. All in a books work for our not so young sharpe, he deserves that retirement after this.


  • How much email?

    i-314d0292a08131f8dd18ce88e273d483-lotsofemail.PNG Look at that, 12,345 emails in my gmail in-box. Had to screen shot it, 1-2-3-4-5 has a nice ring to it. 12,345 represents 60% of the near 3GB allowed in a googlemail box and the 5,909 spam messages are only those from the last 30 days. I guess i’ll have to start deleting the some old email soon.
