Oh Ali it really did!
Going to print off a copy for Mum. You wouldn't want me to cuddle her right now, because I am dying of bad cold/ throat infection - which has stopped me seeing the twins this weekend - booooo. I'd give her a squeeze if I could though. I'm not into babies per se, but those of friends and family are very loveable, because they can leave ![]() Do you realise you have the same amount of children - and same genders - as the Beckhams? There, next time you bump into her you know you have something in common. Thanks also for your post re liver damage. It's very good to know someone else who has been through it and come out of the other side. The Doctors did stress the regenerative properties of the liver, but the symptoms have really crash landed on me (especially my skin) so it has felt like walking around on bail.

'bail' as in you're out of jail or is there some substance called 'bail' that I don't know about but imagine as like sharp rocks on barefeet.

Sorry, out on bail, not something new and exciting.
I think there are probably enough street drugs out there that make you feel like you're on bail - paranoid and walking on a shifty surface. Shit, even wearing a new pair of shoes makes me feel like The Little Mermaid. The original one I mean, not the peculiar undersea hoarder, Ariel.

Had to Wiki.
All I could think of was Frances de la Tour. Really laughing now. It's making me cough. Stoppit.

![]() Didn't know that about the beckhams. lol Don't care too much either, although chances of running into them are apparently more likely since apparently Davo is considering coming over here to play soccer. Your liver will be fine. Just be good to it and all will be well mate. give it lots of lovely healthy whole foods and water. Get yourself some liver tonic or supplements if you can and think positive. ![]()

Investigate this for yourself, Sundae, but milk thistle (sold anywhere, really) is supposed to be good for your liver.
Ask your local hippie shop personnel.

Phew.
Went for a walk at lunchtime today and decided to go all the way over to check out the National Christmas Tree behind the White House. I knew I would be cutting it a bit close, because I had to be back to my building for a short presentation I had to give to new hires about our department. Well, as soon as I stepped through the open gate into the area behind the White House, the cop standing there closed it behind me. They were locking down that area so a motorcade or something could go through! Normally, I'd stick around to see who it would be, but by closing that gate, I couldn't go back the way I came and instead had to walk about 5 additional blocks around the perimeter of the far side of the White House to get back to my office. Grr. So I took a quick shot of the Christmas tree and started hustling the long way back. Had to take my jacket off, because I was eventually breaking a sweat. Checking my watch the whole time. I had 15 minutes to go about 12 blocks. I really needed 20 minutes. But I got back to my building and straight into the conference room just 30 seconds before the department before me finished their bit. Phew. I know you were on the edge of your seat. But you can relax now. It all worked out. Here's the tree. |

Well, with all that pagan symbolism, it assures me the Obama isn't a Muslim.

The small trees look underdressed.
