And then my sister said, wot are you up to?, so I told her something like this:
1) Working (I ghost wrote some technology columns posted elsewhere)
2) Writing the excellent The Health Care Blog, although speaking of family I've tried to get my father the Gynaecologist to weigh in on the odd issue and got nothing out of him as he's busy building this housing estate.
3) Twisting my right (already ACL-less knee) paragliding, although I did have several fabulous flights on the days before the twisted knee, and the very lucky Sarah got taken on a long tandem by brilliant pilot Arnell.
4) Avoiding rock-climbing cos of a) the gout and b) the twisted knee-- I did go to the doctor today to go on apurrinol which is supposed to get rid of the excess uric acid in my system and make the gout go away. I bloody hope so!
5) occasionally going out with numbers of my friends but more often staying in with Sarah cos she works all the way down in San Jose and comes home ridiculously late at night
6) Getting depressed about the election results....etc
7) Being a vegetarian and a teetotaler (apart from one beer on election night) for 2 weeks (and it sucks!)
8) Getting up relatively early tomorrow to watch England get stuffed by Turkey (probably)
