Needles and Pins

Does Southport actually exist?
I worked in Southport for a good while and I know plenty of people who still do, but I'm beginning to think it may be a mythical place! Feeling as though venturing through the back of my wardrobe may be the only way to get a transfer there! So in case you haven't guessed it yet, it was a "No" again on the transfer front this Monday and, even following jk's visit there, it's not looking likely for the next few weeks either! I'm worried I might start picking up the local accent!

Random Smiley Turkish Bloke
That aside, life on the new ward is good and I've been cracking on with the physio as ever. Played some table tennis the other day with a 63 and 71 year old and some random smiley Turkish bloke.  Sadly there wasn't much between us all, much to my competitive streak's annoyance! and we [me and the 71 year old] lost in spectacular fashion as I managed to lose my grip on the bat, miss the ball and have the bat hit me on he head! Impressive I know! 
Sadly no video footage is available!

Needles and Pins
I also tried a bit of acupuncture yesterday, the doc wasn't overly keen when I ran it by him, "like taking water from the Ganges" was his opinion! But as I've said before I'm willing to give anything a go! So we went over, the guy stuck a few needles in me put on some relaxing music and left me for twenty minutes. I haven't felt any significant change, but it was definitely relaxing, much to Jenna's alarm, as just at the end of the twenty minutes I dozed off and my head fell backwards pretty sharpish! It woke me up straight away, but don't think I've ever seen Jen move so fast, I don't think she has much confidence in the rods holding my head on!

Best Meal In Ages
....afterwards, we had another 'date night' and Jenna cooked me the best meal I've had in ages and we got to stay the night in the flat upstairs which was a treat. She undid all the good work at breakfast with possibly the worst fried eggs I've ever had, one split and the other cooked to within an inch of its life! But beggars can't be choosers!

....and great idea from Betty on the caption comp, so get your entries in! ....and suppose I best have a go myself.

Cheers all,
Mark
