In sickness and in health

Poor Kerry. After a weekend of festivals, a crappy cold came over her then esculated into tonsillitis. Friday evening drew the Madonna tickets episode to an end. All week I had been watching other ebay auctions close and expected a loss but I didn't even get my reserve price and had to offer them at at a £150 below cost! Tonight, Kerry will be entertained by the greedy pop-bitch herself in the company of Tony, her old friend/hairdresser.

Not much else to report really with nursing duties. Saw Transamerica on DVD which was very good. The Desperate Housewife actress was really convincing as a pre-op.

Current read is Samurai William by Giles Milton. Quite a mature subject about the first Westerners to experience Japan and their journey to get there. Personal highlights so far are Portuguese noting the difference on how Japanese pick their noses, encountering savage tribes in South America mutating outsiders by cutting off their 'cod' (balls), slaying 100's of penguins for food, and taking nearly 2 years to get to Japan by boat with only a tenth of the crew surviving!

Yesterday was a sick day and failing to fight off Kerry's lurgy and spent nearly all day working on my dad's company's stock sheet.

Hats entertainment

GingerDJRoblog has been lynched by the Six TV mafia. Back in August (10th) I reported about the Solent Sci-fi TV programme we watched and its DIY presentation. This week I've been bombarded (well two of them) by the makers of the show with defensive swipes. From the recent bollox on digital lately I could be persuaded to view more of the Adventures of Stephen Brown . I'm also considering to ask for a walk on part for their next production. Picture above is from their Tubcon Invasion series - great costume and more exciting photos from their picture gallery . I've also found their YouTube videos . Talking of costume, I've learnt that the NYE party will have a mandatory dress-code of hat wearing. A little research has uncovered some websites for inspiration including Sabrina, the teenage witch's cat (or rather its stuffed relative) modelling some ideas. Just found a cute animation on YouTube called Kiwi!
