h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I was tired last night. So, sue me!

Yesterday was a bit of a mess. What should have been a brief visit from the District Gnurse dragged on a bit and was followed by a 'phone call from the clinic saying that they thought my toes were becoming "necrotic", and that they're sending a doctor round tomorrow (Friday) to give them a tug and see if they come off. (or words to that effect...)

It transpired that on Monday night, not only my cooker but also my 'fridge had died. My Tesco delivery came, and I had to force all the 'fridge food into my other freezer temporarily.

George came round and rewired the 'fridge/freezer so I could unplug it to defrost. I filled every spare space in the 'fridge section with frozen "gel packs" that I kept back from my last "Cook" order, then closed the door in the hope the insulation would "keep the cold in" while I defrosted the freezer. Then I discovered that it was somehow 1cm further forward than hitherto, so I couldn't open the door far enough to take the drawers out.

But I improvised, and it defrosted overnight. About 10pm a huge triangular block of ice weighing over two kilos detached itself with a thud from the area behind the drawers. I switched it back on this morning, but the motor hasn't started up yet - it was still making assorted warning and test "beeps". That's the problem with a smart 'fridge - sometimes it's just *too* smart.

I watched "Law & Order: UK" and "Avengers Assemble".

Peet, I haven't really cottoned on to the worst bits of your health problems on the Early thread... just to say, I'm thinking of you and sending Groovy Vibes all the way from Table Mountain to the Granite City, for your healing and health and vitality.

Concerned, but hoping all will be well.
