Wednesday Weasel woke me up at 8:30 saying Stoat was on the phone; did I want to go to the seaside with him and Doodle? I agreed, had a quick breakfast and shower and they came to collect me. The drive there was long, Doodle and I passed the time wit

On Friday I had possibility. I let myself get my hopes up, despite my best efforts. I have always preferred being surprised over disappointed. I have three spots of narrowing in my lungs - the first is before the airways branch off into each lung [na

I love days like today when the date is 08/08/08 - it works internationally and I don’t have to work very hard to figure out what day it is. It took me ages to get used to reading the date as dd/mm/yy. I had a rule of thumb, ‘it is t
