Visitors, Christmas presents and nurses

I had about a billion lovely visitors today [this post written on Sunday] which was great. It probably would have been a bit much yesterday, as I was pretty sleepy and didn't have much energy, but apparently that was because my haemoglobin was low, and consequently I was given some blood. Thus today I was on far more energetic form, and had lots of fun with mostly OMV friends who had been to the Christmas reunion, which, it seems, was almost as fun but needed a bit of oomph in the choral department.

I'm having a few difficulties with Christmas presents, not because I can't get them bought, because several people have offered to help out with that, but because I'm relying entirely on my imagination for ideas... I can't wander the shops and see things that would be perfect, and though I looked a bit on the internet before coming in, now I'm offline again I can't even do that. My imagination has come up trumps for a couple of people, but, as my good friends the Gumbies might say, my... brain... hurts...

And now: a hello and thank you to the lovely nurses of the Ruth Myles Unit, such as Gobby and Michelle, who were told about my blog today: fortunately I don't think I've told the truth about them on my blog, so they might still be talking to me tomorrow... Actually, Gobby's one of my favourite people in the world at the moment, because she brought a coffee machine to work. Proper coffee! Mmmmmm... That had already made my day, before I had my billion visitors.
