Scribbles away in a garret overlooking the Illawarra Railway. Edits ESIA reports. Spends much time on trains. Pines for the Round Pond. Lives in interesting* times. Looks on in horror as the world turns to custard. Walk with me.
I have bonded with the nurses over a shared love of laksa. #CytotoxicGhost
I have been issued with a cup of tea and a TimTam. The coffee machine is on the blink. But they have found a vein. #CytotoxicGhost
The oncology nurses have sent out a search party for a suitable vein. #CytotoxicGhost
The best part about today is that by bedtime I will have given myself my last post-op clexane shot. And the little pricks sting like billy-o.
It is not rude to tell someone to move their bag to free up a seat on a crowded bus.

Explaining to someone that just because other places don’t charge a weekend surcharge, restaurants and cafes that do, like the one we’re sitting in now, are perfectly within their rights to do so.
Telstra is now busy spamming its customers with a mea culpa e-mail.
Nothing like palexia to dull your aches, wash down your cheese-on-toast, and make your world spin ‘round. #RecoveringGhost
Anyone resigning a seat in Parliament, any Parliament, so they can recontest it in a by-election to assuage their ego, must be made personally liable for ALL the costs of said by-election . #Farage
Waiting quietly for my post-op pain meds to kick in while wanting to murderise people who can’t or won’t use their inside voices in a hospital. #GrumpyGhost
Today in casual #racism in the hospital ward lounge: Soccer in Australia would be so much better without all those ethnics. There’s no hope, is there?
