Yup, instead of making you believe we'd all but disappeared from the planet, here's an update done purely on the strength of a passing notion which occurred at a time I could actually DO something about it!
My new job at Hills SVL (Sound Vision & Lighting) is going well - as far as I can tell. While there is plenty that is familiar, there is also plenty which involves a good steep learning curve. All good fun. Having been an AV customer of theirs for 10 years in my ProVision Technologies days, the transition has certainly been made easier. They are a good bunch and there are plenty of laughs which is fine by me.
Jeanette had the misfortune to roll her ankle badly while walking our dog Rosie up Mt Albert this morning. I arrived home to find her wearing a Moon Boot. She is about to start a part time lecturing job (events etc) at Unitec where standing up in front of the class will probably be expected - but I'm sure she will improvise a suitable solution.
I had an Ultrasound scan a week or so ago in preparation for my next 3-monthly Haemotologist appointment (next Monday). With the holidays and the delayed appointment for my CT scan, this appointment has pushed out by quite a few weeks. Health is feeling very good in all departments, with the possible exception of my right big toe (as previously written about by Jeanette). It seems to be healing up quite well, despite the fracture and the nail which had to be glued back on. At least it hasn't succumbed to infection, which is always a consideration for me.
Here's a little story submitted by an old mate of mine the other day:
A tough looking group of bikers were riding when they saw a girl about
to jump off a bridge so they stop. The leader, a big burly man, gets off his bike and says, "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to commit a suicide," she says. While he did not want to appear insensitive, he didn't want to miss an opportunity he asked "Well, before you jump, why don't you give me a
Kiss?"
So, she does and it was a long, deep lingering kiss.
After she's finished, the biker says, "Wow! That was the best Kiss I
have ever had. That's a real talent you are wasting. You could be famous
Why are you committing suicide…?"
"My parents don't like me dressing up like a girl."
All the best,
Bruce
