    This will probably be my last blog post for a while and the reason is a good one. I've been on the thyroxin for 28 days (threw the first empty packets away this morning) and there have been no noticeable side-effects. Or there might have been, but my ongoing mental and physical heath issues make it hard to tell. I've had a couple of very low moments and angry moments, and I've been very tired. Today I intended to have…

    Is it Friday already? It's been a crazy-busy week!

    Spring arrived properly with a bang (Hooray!).  I've spent most of this week filming wildlife and taking photos of flowers as they pop their heads up in the garden. And I've finally seen a hedgehog (Hooray!).  I think it's me ol' mate Whiffle but he's HUGE. He's being all huffy, puffy and grumpy at me which means he's telling me that this is his garden and to…

    Not much to report really. Still no noticeable side effects from the thyroxin and the antibiotics have worked on my kidney but, surprise surprise, I've developed a mild case of thrush.

After all, you're just introducing them into a toxic environment that killed…

    My kidney was less painful yesterday but it was a day of extremes - success if it was the finishing touches to BF's birthday present, but epic fail when shopping for me.

    The camera I bought through eBay didn't work, and it took a phone call to them this morning for the seller to behave and refund my money. Now I've bitten the bullet and bought one I was watching as a backup. It's a lot safer but it's more than I really…

    Yesterday was very quiet and so too boring to justify an entry of its own. BF had to go into work for a few hours in the afternoon, but if he hadn't he would have been upstairs playing games anyway. It was a bit too damp to go anywhere on the bike for fun.

    So instead I spent an hour and 75p "admission"  "wandering" around an online boot sale. I didn't buy anything but it was still 75p well spent, almost like…
