Just after I posted yesterday's Journal, I opened an email from my Mum. Apparently, she's seriously ill. 
She's beenm suffering from various degrees of anaemia for well over a year now, to the point she recently had to have a full blood transfusion. They couldn't figure out where the blood/Iron was going, and they suspected a small internal bleed. 
They just found the cause. She has a tumour in her bowel. 
I don't really know if I should be posting this - I don't know if it's public knowledge yet - but I kind of needed to mention it to someone, and you, dear reader, drew the short straw. 
Other than that, there's little to report. I had the big Chinese meal I bought in to celebrate Chinese New Year, but somehow it no longer felt like a cause for celebration. 
I watched "The Big Bang Theory", "Elementary", "White Collar", "Californication", "Silent Witness", "QI VG", "The Graham Norton Show" and "Family Guy". I'll probably watch "Andromeda" before I crash.
