I should have separated my last post into sections. The loss of freedom thing was going back to work after a break. The maths books I actually enjoy
and I'm going back to university next year. My year nines yesterday were horrible, I ended up with a migraine, but I don't want it to sound worse than
it really is. It's not a bad job overall, I'm just totally over it.

What do you mean by totally over it?
Have new vacacion plans. I'm looking into Munich, as in: what's there and how can I reach it and stay at a decent cost.

Totally over it? Teaching at that level just holds no appeal for me whatsoever any more.
I spent ten hours in hospital yesterday. I am now officially initiated into the world of pain called kidney stones. I had a half hour doubled over in
agony on Wednesday morning and then about four lengthy bouts over a three hour period yesterday morning. The doctors think it may be over, but I'm sat
here now, looking over my shoulder. The good news is that the cat scan I had yesterday also confirmed that the surgery I had last year has turned out
quite well. So, if I get through today and the weekend without any more kidney pain, I'll be laughing by Monday.
Hey Bonny, maybe you could visit Fritz while your there?

Just checked: Fritz lives in the Rhineland: probably one of the big towns by the Rhine: Bonn, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Duisburg, Dortmund, Essen... I
believe he lives closer to my house than to Munich, which is in Bavaria.

Well, the doctors were wrong, I was up at 4:00AM Saturday in pain on and off until 9:00AM. Another stay in hospital from 6:00AM to 1:30PM. They're
still not totally sure of course what will happen next. I'm up now having a coffee getting ready to go to work waiting for the time bomb to go off
again.
Aside from that I am in pretty good spirits in general. I feel good about my plans for next year. It looks like I'm in a good position for getting
some first year maths tutorial work, so I'll be able to lower my high school class load right away. Anyway, I'm off to have a shave.
Bonny, when are you going to Munich?

Ah no, poor Poly! You stay cool and get well now.
Have no date set for Munich. Am still trying to figure out whether there's enough to do there for me.

I've conversed with IrishBorish in chat. He seems like a perfectly reasonable human being. If he's Zombie then his cover story is way too complicated.
I believe he really is from Ireland and Zombie was a Yank. IB travelled to Australia a while back as a back packer. He's got strong opinions and
there's nothing wrong with that, I think he's just finding his feet at zappa.com and he'll settle down eventually.

Ah. Could be someone with a long thumb still, such as the jerk who made those Shaggy and Ius Rincewind accounts (who posed here as Trendy and as
Guybrush Threepwood). After all, I'm Timothy Brown from Somerset.
Am now a converted pastafari. Anything that celebrates good humour and logic is cool in my book.

Back in hospital. On painkillers to see if the stone comes out freely, otherwise, they're going in after it. Talking via my iPhone, cool, it's nice
to be able to stay in touch.

Hi Bonny!
Hi Ed!
Hi Aqua!
We had a good opening weekend for the horrorshow last week.
Tonight is a rehearsal and Friday, Saturday and Monday the last shows.
Several short pieces drawn from HP Lovecraft this year.
This weekend they are holding auditions for Waiting For Godot to be performed early next year.
I'm deciding whether I want to spend time on that. The writing is worth it, but the rest, I don't know.
boo!

Punky! Nice to see you again!
I'd do Godot without thinking. It's been so long since stage and I really miss it. Unfortunately with the musical craze, there's next to no
non-musical amateur production. 
Aw dear Poly, hope all will go well!

Played for guide dog again, toured 12 vision-impaired souls through a space exhibition. Was fun.

hi Punk, how are you.
Poly, if possible enjoy your stay, they will take care of you and your stones.
Sawed a big trench off of our Acacia. Somehow I managed to cut in my finger with a trenchcutter.
The green bin is filled up now with much to large parts, I hope I won't have problems tomorrow.
The green bin is only for leaves and so on, not 4 inch width trenches.

Bonny, you're a real card, I got a good chuckle from that.
Thanks for your wishes everyone. Yes Punky, it's a very special kind of pain. Anyway, I ended up in surgery about six hours ago and still have some
unpleasantness to look forward to, but it's basically over. I've been back in the ward awhile under the influence of some very nice pain killers,
listening to FZ on my iPhone. Broadway The Hard Way (extended cd version) is a brilliant album.

Got very close to witnessing a car crash. Walked past a crossing, nothing wrong, walked back ten minutes later, police and ambulances on the place
where I'd crossed the road earlier. A 71-year-old female cyclist got hit by a car, that bumped into a lamppost afterwards. Pretty creepy.
