Hello everyone.
Well, no news from me, I'm still waiting for 'the call' to see what the sketch is so I'm still milling about in limbo for the time being. ho hum. I've had terrible trouble sleeping of late, night before last I think I must have slept for half an hour during the whole night. Nowt worse than just lying there, totally awake. I tried going to lie on the settee to watch sky sports news 'through the night' which normally sends me off, but to no avail. I get annoyed by the Ford advert things on it, especially the one with four people in the car, if you had to put up with that moron in the passenger seat going on like a bell end surely it would just be easier to tell him to shut up or he's walking home. Plus that 'knock off nigel' advert is on pretty much every ad break during the night. Thankfully I had a turnaround last night and got a pretty good nights sleep, a few interruptions but in general pretty fucking good, so I feel a good bit more human today.
I've been quite enjoying the torrential showers, it's really nice to stand out on the balcony of my flat, with the rain lashing down through the trees as they rustle in the wind, it's really calming. I'd love to just sit in some woods for a day when it is a wee bit windy, the branches swaying and the leaves rustling, I just love it. Come the day it is the type of place I'd like to be buried, like those natural funerals where you are just buried in a glorified cardboard box in some woods. Truly back to nature.
The pain in my lung seems to have easier so hopefully that was all just a pulled muscle or something.
But, I'm doing ok, I'm troffing down loads of fruit and veg and getting some exercise (off swimming soon) so hopefully this will all stand me in good stead for the cancer. Was reading in New Scientist an interesting article about a new cancer treatment using 'nanospheres'. Basically tiny little balls of glass coated in gold. You get injected with them and because the fissure from a blood vessel to a tumour is bigger than anything normal in the body the nanospheres fall in to the gap and get stuck on the tumour, the rest just pass out of your body. Then, using an infra red light they can see exactly the location and size of the tumours due to these nanospheres reflecting the infra red light. then they can increase the intensity of the light and it fries the tumour as the metal in them heats up. How fucking clever is that eh? How does someone come up with that as an idea? Amazing really.
Speaking of New Scientist, there's a great article in there by Paul Davies about the bio friendly universe and that. I could do a little ramble about it but I'll resist the urge, it was a good read though. Paul Davies is ace. |
