I’m going to kick off with one or two links I found today. First of all, Malmesbury Abbey has been turned into a skate park. The BBC reports it as a novelty; clearly they haven’t heard of Legacy XS.
I took a ‘What kind of writer are you?’ test and got a bizarre result:
You Should Be a Science Fiction Writer |
 Your ideas are very strange, and people often wonder what planet you’re from. And while you may have some problems being “normal,” you’ll have no problems writing sci-fi. Whether it’s epic films, important novels, or vivid comics… Your own little universe could leave an important mark on the world! |
Mind you, Debbie often wonders what planet I’m on. 🙂
Like I said, I thought it was a bizarre result. I see myself rather more journalistic.
Having said that, Mark’s illness has again meant little or no chance for proper sabbatical study today. The vomiting returned when he woke up, and we took him back to the doctor, also reporting sore throat, ear and stomach, plus a rash on his thigh and other stuff. The GP was now pretty sure he had tonsillitis and so out came the prescription for the much-unloved banana medicine (a.k.a. amoxicillin). He advised us to alternate Calpol and Calprofen to keep the pain down.
Well, the Calprofen had an immediate effect, at least until about half an hour before another dose was due each time, and this afternoon he picked up considerably while his sister, Mum and ‘Aunt Pat’ were out ten pin bowling. He even wanted something to eat at dinnertime. Knowing that big sister was getting macaroni cheese, he said he fancied some pasta. Off he went to find the tins of pasta shapes, and came back with what he wanted: Heinz Disney Princess pasta shapes in tomato sauce. Which he demolished. And they stayed down.
Until after his bath, anyway, when he gagged on amoxicillin. That, Calprofen and pasta shapes ended up sprayed on towels and elsewhere. However, we’re quietly confident he’s turned the corner. We’ll see how he gets on tomorrow.
Big Circumstance 
It’s what they did to Malmesbury Abbey that made it newsworthy for the BBC – but it didn’t last very long,
did it?
Poor Mark – and yuo! I hope he really has turned the corner now, so that you can put your mind and energies to other things.

I guess I was just biased – I know the vicar who has oversight from a distance of Legacy XS!
Mark is definitely picking up now, thank you, and hopefully we’ll have his first trip out (apart from the doctor’s) all week this afternoon to the library.
