Been a bit remiss of recent. Mumsy's been in hospital for the past week, originally having suffered a mild stroke. She seems to have recovered from this quite quickly but whilst in hospital she decided to get up on her tod to go to the loo in the middle of the night and had a fall and broke her arm under her shoulder. Needless to say we got a call to notify us of this at 2:30 am which naturally freaked thewife. Of course this kind of break can't be put into a cast it has to heel in a sling, which for the first few days mumsy has managed to pull her arm out of. thewife has now put the fear of god into her that unless she keeps it in the sling, it will take longer to heel and longer for her to get home.

Needless to say with visiting times etc we don't have a great deal of time to do things like blog for example. Today I have the relative luxury of a day's strike action to catch up with stuff, then a long weekend beckons at the end of which we shall be trotting along to see the doyen of Folk/Protest music Joan Baez, which we are immensely looking forward to.

Which way is Damascus?

I'm now totally in favour of an Independent Scotland. I haven't been this way inclined since I was 14 and naive, however if the English electorate are stupid enough to forget what a shower of CUNTS the Tories are, then this time they can reap the harvest of shit and suffering themselves.

It still doesn't mean I would vote SNP though, but in a referendum a definite yes would be the cross I would place.

Easter Holly, get your Easter Holly here!

When thewife told me of the existence of the item below, I was immensely disturbed. Even more disturbing was the sight of these in some idiotic cretin's trolley. I really wanted to advise them to seek medical help. FFS. I give you Easter Crackers! Only £ 7.47 from Tesco, how did we ever manage without them?

Instead of a paper hat apparently they come with a little crown of thorns, a chocolate Jesus and a joke about Easter bunnies.

Information Overload

Bear with me, this is going to get complicated. Its 8:00pm last night thewife's upstairs in the bath and I'm watching Liverpool and Barca and the phone rings. I can't find the phone, its wireless and thewife used it last. By the time I track it down in the kitchen the caller has rung off. I do the 1471 bit and its Lady El so I call back, but it rings out and then the answering machine cuts in and I leave a message. A few minutes later mumsy is on the phone, she says that someone had phoned her to say that a window had been broken in our house and someone had been trying to get in. She had phoned Lady El looking for us, although we were in fact in. She couldn't say who called. At this point Lady El arrives at the door, practically with flashing blue light to say that mumsy had called her about our window having been broken and she thought she'd better come round to check. I'm confused as fuck by this point. I decide to go round to check mumsy's 1471 to see if I can find out who called her. I check the number and clock recognition. Its our number that phoned at 6:15. This is correct I remember thewife calling her to remind her to take medication. Mumsy is fine, had her dinner and her medication so reckon she's perhaps fallen a sleep and had a really vivid dream or something.

thewife is round at mumsy's today and notices that mumsy's downstair neighbour is out fixing a broken window. She asks him about it and relates the mumsy tale. He bursts out laughing. His window was apparently broken by someone attempting to enter lockfast premises as they say. He had called the police who made enquiries of the neighbours. Including mumsy. There was no phone call it was a young policemen who had spoken to her about the event. It wasn't our house it was her neighbour's. Apart form that she's not lost it completely.
