Well I am.

Yes ladies and gents, on Wednesday 23rd April we are having a charity abseil off the roof of the Birmingham Dental Hospital and after much negotiation and haggling, I'm going to be one of the lucky jumpers.

The charities are St Mary's Hospice http://www.bsmh.org.uk/about/index.php and Dentaid http://www.dentaid.org/

So get those wallets ( Read more... )

It's Earth Hour between 8-9pm tonight, so the lights are off, the candles lit and everything non essential has been unplugged.

I was lucky enough to meet Sir Arthur C. Clarke at a con in 1994, He was a self depricating gentleman baffled at the phenomenon he had created. When asked about it by another fan he replied with a big grin "I write the stories I like, it's just a coincidence you all like them too."

Lie quiet in that night. Delight has indeed been given.

I PASSED!

I still have to do course work till the end of April when I submit my portfolio, and clinical practise till the end of July, but I'm nearly qualified!!! Woohoo!

Christmas is getting a litle close for comfort and having had four months off work on statutory sick pay, I am looking for money making ventures so I don't have to choose between getting people pressies and eating this month.

So please check out my painting gallery as I have a few oil paintings for sale and I will accept any reasonable offer made ( Read more... )

A couple of people sent me or posted this. It's damn funny.

I wasn't in work when the results came in, I was in Sussex having just been to Susan's funeral, which had gone ok.

I PASSED!

In fact I came in 3rd place in my year.

I'm just a little bit chuffed with that considering how much time I missed with my ankle. :o)

There is a total lunar eclipse tonight. It starts around 9.30pm till midnight with totality around 10.45pm.

If the skies are clear it should be beautiful. I shall miss being in the countryside this evening. I may have to take a late night drive out of the city because of the light pollution but depends on how chilly it is.
