Magnolia palace - prison or sanctuary? It's nice to see that while you're seeing the world, I'm imprisoned in a magnolia palace. Of course lack of money is not a problem here. I was a bit worried when the social welfare dept wrote to me and informed me that I was only entitled to 123 euro per week - hello???? I sold my soul and my youth for a bit more than that! Also, i'm now on first name terms with the guy who drives the courier van who delivers all my online purchases. It's the only outside contact I have at the moment. Some day, I will be up at showered before he comes as I only have one hoody with me and that's the only thing I can through on to decently answer the door but alas, I'm not sure that day will ever dawn. Anyway, I have since found out that the hse pays the rest of my pay so the spending has continued:) I finally broke and bought an ipad. Unfortunately, it was not the dream I'd anticipated. I connected it to my macbook and .......absolutely nothing. It refused to acknowledge it. I was like a child on christmas morning who had gotten the toy they wanted, but didn't have the batteries to operate it. Unfortunately I didn't have the correct operating system to operate it because I am an old person who bought their macbook 4 years ago and therefore has a tiger operating system. i never upgraded to leopard or snow-leopard or lion as it was working fine (until now) Of course they couldn't tell what the problem was in the shop as they are retarded so wikipedia came to my rescue. Unfortunately, the shop no longer sells upgrades because lion can now be downloaded directly from the site. Very sensible - except that you can't go directly from tiger to lion. So I have my brother snowleopard hunting in the apple shop in London this weekend. Hopefully I will have a functional ipad at some stage. I am taking a fourth week off next week as I'm still trying to wean myself off the solpadol. I don't think I should be prescribing chemo until I'm clean;) Tonight I'm escaping the shackles of my prison to go to my cousins going away party. I'll will be drugging up and I will be drinking. I am however, leaving off the high heals as when I powered through with the 4 inch heals at the galway races, I ended up in UCHG A&E 48hrs later. Looking forward to your next blog. M
Thinking of you guys while munching our lobster risottos... I did spare a thought for you two in between mouthfuls of lobster risotto in Casino House 2 nights ago.... even if it was for a split second. Whatever further thoughts vanished as the John Dory arrived and the wines flowed...
The last night of business is 25th Sept., will you make it back in time for one last hurrah?
Living the life, loving the music Since moving to galway, I have herniated a disc in my back and now regularly visit the aussi physio downstairs who tries to 're-allign my spine' by tugging on my pelvis. I haven't the heart to tell him that he's just too small, and no matter how much he puts his back into it, he's not going to shift those vertebrae. At least i'm off the painkillers now though. Of course that only happened because the nurses on the dayward cut off my supply until I went to see a healthcare professional as apparently, being a haematology reg does not qualify you to treat back pain unless it's related to spinal cord compression. No wonder the hse is falling to pieces;)
Junior medical doctors on much needed career break. Unfortunately drama seems to have an unhealthy love/hate relationship with us . Abusive you might say. Despite best intentions, drama always ensues. I constantly find myself looking for the hidden camera...or for Ashton Kutcher to make an appearance. One year - one trip of a lifetime - one crazy travel partner (in Deirdre) - one shot at being a pro-surfer (totally crap at it) - what could possibly go wrong...... full info
