The boy is back home..

… from the surgery.

Surgery went normally. He’s still under the effect of general anaesthetic, so feeling a bit groggy, and a bit pukey. We had to fast him for 12 hours before the surgery, and they gave him only a small meal afterwards. He’s starving. The GA effect means he’s unable to get up and force us to feed him. Instead, he’s just lying on the sofa softly crying… for food, for attention, for relief from the groggy feeling, and for his play time. But mainly for food.

Today has definitely not been a happy day. Not for him, and doubly not for me.

The only silver lining is that he’s back home, safe and sans-growth.

This used to be my go-to lunch back in SJW days – BLT, plain salted crisps, and a can of Coke.

I haven’t bought it in, at least, the last 6 years.

I didn’t feel like driving into town for lunch today, didn’t like the options at H+H, and didn’t feel like eating the food at home. So, took a chance on this old favourite.

Turns out I still like a BLT. I didn’t particularly like the fried chips – I’ve only had the baked variety last few years. And, I consume an unhealthy volume of Coke Zero already, so this was just a drop in the pond.

I enjoyed the change.

I did replace a Coke zero for the regular Coke.

Yay or nay?

I kinda sorta fell in love with this jacket today. The colour triggered the love at first sight, the design and cut knocked me over. The price – discounted to £29 – almost sealed the deal.

The only thing holding me back was the rational mind nagging me about how often would I really wear this jacket. It may also have been half a size larger than ideal.

Should I buy it?
