I do apologie readers. I didn't plan to be AFKed for so long, but a lot of things have made me lose track. I did plan to have a post up just after the Dr Who thing, but Cat has been as elusive as ever. This caused me to delay my second Christmas post. But I'm not the only one to do so. Top Gear had their Christmas special when they go to Burma to build a bridge over the River Kwai (in Thailand) on at March!
But that was nothing compared to what I suffered in mid-March. While watching A Town Called Panic on a DVD in my laptop sitting on my sofa my lower back suddenly became arthritic in nature. As soon as I turned my upper body or stood up it became agony. How did this happen? The only cause I can think of was an uncomfortable sleeping position the night before.
I tried to endure it for a few hours, by lying on my bed to see if the pain would diminish. It didn't. After the most agonising trip to the toilet ever, I had to call my mother to take me in. For the next week I was in my sick parent's home mostly in bed on a course of painkillers. Even with the painkillers I had to use a Zimmer frame to walk to the toilet. It was the worse week in my life... so far.
But don't worry folks, I'm fine now and fully mobile with minimum pain.
During my absence from this blog, I have missed a number of things. But I am going to rectify one of them. In February the satirical puppet show Spitting Image celebrated its 30th anniversary. So, as a tribute (and to coax Cat out of hiding) I contacted Luck and Flaw (who took some time off their busy schedule for me (especially Law, because Cat once broke three of his ceramic pots when he tripped on his shoelace)) and got them to make a special puppet for me. And here it is.
At least I coaxed him out of hiding... again.
After such a hammering, he told me that he visited GOMA recently. And here's the photographic evidence...
