The Snooker Championship is on!
And a Hoorah for that!

Just been watching Dominic Dale playing the impossibly named Judd Trump. I love Dale but his hairstyle ages him, say about 40 years, meanwhile Uber cool Trump looks exactly what he is...a kid!
I can't begin to say how glad I am that there's an old pal in my drawing room, always loved watching it and rooting for someone or other...Nothing quite soothes like something familiar.

Ronnie O'Sullivan knocked out Davis yesterday, I knew that because I caught bits of it in between doing my nursing duities. More on that later...Back in the 8o's Davis was my main man, always cool under pressure and always pleasant to watch unlike O'Sullivan who, to me, is the worst kind of 'sportsman' tetchy and precious and sometimes downright rude.
Never gracious in defeat and under the tuf nut bravado, a bit of a mummy's boy.
No, O'Sullivan is not on my 'must watch' list.

Talking of must watch lists...
After a long chat with mum's GP we both decided that it's best she stays here with me until her legs get better.
His choices for her were blunt. She either becomes a part-time Essex girl or gets hospitalized. Going home is not an option.
Legs too weak, brain ok, likelihood of a fall high. So with us she stays.
I've already got her on my GP's books where today she had some blood tests , now I/we wait...Her Gp will talk with my GP and decide on course of action. Surely the Queen couldn't be better cared for. Half the bloody country is rooting for her now she has to do her bit and abide my my rules.
And do everything the medics say. Otherwise she'll be in for a very black Christmas:)

I have a million things still to do today, one of them being the rearranging of furniture, always a joy...
I have a mad desire for space and air and light and leg room.
Other mad desires are:
In no particular order:

Ink pen.
Gyrations on the dance floor.
Gyrations on any floor.

Now I must shift the sofa whilst packing up mother on a chair whilst watching snooker whilst thinking about meatballs whilst thinking about Sweeties...
