The usual mix of bills and junk mail but as she shuffled through the stack of letters her heart took a little leap as she came across a stiff white DL envelope bearing her name and address. There were no other markings apart from the stamp and a smudged postmark so she knew this was more likely to be the reply she was waiting for rather than the another bill or junk.

My daughter bought me the DVD as a present. We have a video projector and whilst I do not watch much TV, it's a family tradition that some evenings we watch a movie or an episode all cinema stylie, lights out and curled up on the sofa.

I hate summertime colds, if you have to have colds, much better in the winter. Anyway, I mention this by way of excusing this madcap stream of consciousness/steaming eyes/streaming nose blogging.

Tongue in cheek but might be fun to see other peoples take, I'll start off Sun, 13 Jun 2010 21:38:38 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/275204/ The muse is the transformer of the soul. She takes a man out of complacent contentment into the conflict of creativity. Through her existence, experience is magnified. What was once unremarkable is turned and wrought into something worth fighting for. Wed, 26 May 2010 17:34:57 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/273518/ No, not I. But that turn of phrase turned up at the dinner table last night. Something about it just captured my imagination. "The illegitimate son of a barmaid". Now that really is something to put on your headstone. Six words and I'm hooked and want to read more. Powerfully, descriptively painting a colourful picture with nothing more flowery than the vernacular of the common man, or even the illegitimate son of a barmaid.

Eventually a Saturday morning came when my father found time to spend with me and we ceremoniously brought out the chemistry set and set it down on the kitchen table. The little spirit burner was filled with methylated spirit (I can still see that vivid purple fluid and smell that distinctive smell). Salts were added to a test-tube of water and were carefully warmed over that small yellow flame. Magically, beautiful crystals started to appear.

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 11:57:38 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/265926/ OK, last week I suffered the mother of all colds. One fevered night this rather silly but fun idea visited me during a bout of sleeplessness. Hence the silliness! Thu, 25 Feb 2010 10:27:39 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/264952/ Last week I took my son back to university. It's the same university where I met his mum thirty years ago. My son is having as gloriously happy and fulfilling a time down in Canterbury as we had had.
