Two things:
1. Been in hospital for major operation, performed by utterly brilliant team of 12, only one of whom was British, led by Spanish anaesthetists and uber cool 30 year old black French surgeon indistinguishable from Bob Marley, radiating competence, humour and leadership.

2. Out now and OK, watching lunchtime telly and a succession of street interviews in Dudley Market, absolutely wreaking of naked, vile racism and calls for Brexit to happen asap.

Fuck 'em all. And no, that's not the medication talking.

Hi Nigel, sounds like you had a good, positive experience in the hospital. Brexit aside, I hope you are back on your feet in time to see the bluebells. Wishing you a very speedy recovery.

Thanks June. I only mentioned it to express the fact when you see the actual coal face you realise the truth and how it can't be manipulated. I also saw the less well financed side of it - long rows of patients on trollies in the classic wartime scenes - they really exist. I don't see how that will get better in post Brexit, poorer Britain under Prime Minister Gove and Health Minister Rees Mogg!

As for bluebells, haven't seen those yet but at this moment 2,000 Morris dancers are streaming past my window (honestly, it's a festival). Unless that's the medication!
