I really wish I could have seen your performance, though obviously that would mean ending up in of those dodgy sci-fi paradox thingies... Richard said good things about how the evening was rescued.

Richard was - as you can imagine - desperate. So Dave, the organizer of the LGBT Festival, and I got to be the object of one audience’s audible disappointment. I think me more than him. One woman asked (*very* hopefully) if I was you… I admit I enjoyed that warm glow of being truly interesting for a moment… but I told the truth and admitted that I was only an excuse for you. I felt very sorry not to be the real deal.<br /> <br />Next time life offers you one of those chairs with wheels and a porter - say yes.<br /><br />Get well soon - I do hope your recovery is speedy and graceful.<br />FederayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448752251053894818.post-6557168044602279692009-12-03T08:17:06.849+00:002009-12-03T08:17:06.849+00:00Hi again, Carolyn Ann; thank you!

When such things happen (thankfully rarely usually...hopefully), I always try and think 'Well thank God I WAS at home/could get to a hospital/the car wasn't bust/whatver. Rather than in the middle of a round the world yacht race, or a hike in the Hindu Kush etc etc (though clearly you are far more likely to be doing either of those things than I!).<br /><br />Sending Get Well Soon wishes!!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356965133404249244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448752251053894818.post-2631347098595204812009-12-01T20:12:07.853+00:002009-12-01T20:12:07.853+00:00Wow!

So coming out of nowhere and going acute is obviously a good way to do it.<br /><br />Katie was pretty upset by the business, actually... but we're getting over it and revising our emergency procedure. Well, inventing one, anyway.<br /><br />Time will show how useful the gall bladder used to be, Suzanne... loads of gurglings going on Down There at the moment, but ...TMI...<br /><br />..and you have my sympathy, Graham, if you've still got the little rascals. Ouch.<br /><br />They did let me out solo, Anji. I could have stuck around, but it seemed selfish to hog the bed when they are such anxiously sought-after things in the hospital...<br /><br />Hello and thank you, everyone!
