Fingers crossed for you x

Thank you!

Yes exactly! My son is an Oliver too and has the same problem you do. He plays rugby and spent his first season with the wrong spelling in the team sheet - despite telling them.

I was once greeted with Dear Alistair on a reply to a letter I'd sent. I'm not sure anyone can beat that.

Thank you. That would be chocolate and the BBC Pride & Prejudice in its entirety in one sitting - which I did last Friday and it worked for a while, so I might have to do again 😎

Thank you for the offer, but it's not something I'd want to try.

I tend to write in layers, adding something new to the prose with each pass. 6 or 7 drafts is normal for me. It's a slow process, but after 20 odd years of writing it's not likely to change 😐

Not sleeping is the hardest thing because it makes everything else feel so much worse. Hopefully you'll be discharged soon x

I've only just caught up with your recent posts (or whatever we call them here). I'm so sorry you're having such a hard time. What can we do to help?

Oh, and thank you!

I don't have much choice on resting. My body has totally given up 🙁😷

Do you have a view from the window? Personally I'd have the chair facing that way. But perhaps the light is better the way you have it now?
