As if by magic...

.. the shopkeeper appeared.  Or, the shed!  And it needs two months to bed down before it can be painted.  Serendipity.  
Not touching this laptop for 30hrs has slowed me down wonderfully.  I shan't forget that (well, we'll see).  JG came, shopped, cooked and RS turned up in perfect time to drink, eat and drive to synagogue in time for last night's service.   Pragmatic, these Progressives:  the entire service transliterated for those among us (me) who avoided learning Hebrew in our fabulously misspent youth.  Welcoming, but not claustrophobic, and none of that snide "Where were you during the boring bits of the year?" look that I sensed elsewhere.
.
One minor hiccup: desperately needed a codeine, had purchased small enough water bottle for handbag in such haste, only realised it was fizzy when I opened it at an especially quiet moment.  So it goes.
.
Today, efficient morning par excellence:  shed fitters 8-11am;  JG arrived in time for them to say "Good Yomtov" to her as they left;  taxi to shul arrived so swiftly, had to leave my biscuit uneaten.  Made up for it with £1 of jelly babies after another perfectly fine service.  
.
But rather too many painkillers today - looking forward to some medical insight, soon.  Do tell me, o occasional readers, is the medical synopsis in the sidebar helpful?  Are you any less confused.  In fact, tell me anything!  I'd appreciate some feedback - is anything irritating, layout or content-wise?  Wanting more/less of anything?  Have had one request for fewer photos of vinyl.  Fair do's.

L - AC:  thank you for getting back to me!  I won't publish your details here.  But thank you.  Keep up the writing.

Sidebar synopsis helpful, but it's a long way down the page to it so I'd not spotted it before.
Happy New Year!

Have shuffled it around a bit - does it say 'cancer' about 37 times in 6 column inches now??

Am getting mildly fed up with it all. Are either of you interested in next Tuesday, 7th, 12 noon, Mr Trustworthy Surgeon, yet again?? Decent Italian lunch vs. highly economical, authentic and swift Indian diner?

Sidebar excellent - had lost the sequencing of it all. Good idea to move it up a bit though. Never too much of anything - love the mix of funny and serious bits; most of all love the way you write! If I didn't know you would feel I did now!
