I vote today’s title as the Most Random and Nonsensical one yet. You’ll agree with me by the end, I promise. Catchy though, huh? Try saying it a few times. :wink:

A very quick one today, my way of saying I'm still alive – I’ve had no time to write any of the vast and elaborate blog entries I’ve wanted to due to my week being so gosh-darned, all-fired busy! Since last Friday I’ve:

  • Looked after my GF when she got ill with one of her horrible Migraines
  • Welcomed Dr’s Lenny and Sarah back to the ‘Deen from their homes in deepest, darkest Wales
  • Finally started the first part of my filming for ‘Capsized’
  • Collecting a pair of new couches from the tiny village of Fyvie, owned by a scary pair of Mad English people (Well, SHE was Mad, and possibly the most annoying woman I've ever met. HE merely had that tragic look of long-suffering tolerance that Husbands get when they're trapped in a marriage with a dominant mad wife...:left:)
  • Spent a day and a half being poorly myself
  • Spent some quality time with Dr Lenny playing the fabulous Ico on his PS2
  • Gone back to work and very much wished I hadn’t bothered; I got humped, to use a phrase I’m particularly fond of...:cry:
  • Bought myself the eye-tearingly gorgeous Unreal Tournament 3, and really enjoyed it despite the predictable fan backlash suggesting it wasn't as good as its predecessors
  • Wined and dined in a Greek restaurant where I fell off a perfectly stable chair startling everyone in the place. Oh yes, and also introducing my friends to my lovely new girlfriend! (They all loved her, naturally :wink:)

Phew! So many stories, so much fun, so much wine...:drunk: ...all of which has left me no time at all to come here and tell you all about any of it! Bah!

So yeah, before I go, I’ll leave you with some info about the filming (couldn’t drop that little gem into the post and run off leaving you with nothing to look at!) You might want to check out Zoffin film’s website – the latest blog entry is about what we did on Sunday. There’s also a gallery of snaps taken by yours truly (meaning none of me, sadly – sorry!)

...and that’s all, folks. See y’all soon!

PS: I appear to have been added as an Opera 'friend' by a pair of Sarahs. If you're quick you can see their pics in the recent visitors box below. Hello, Sarahs! *waves*

Ol' Red Eyes!

My GP thinks I have Conjunctivitis. According to Wikipedia (the world's premiere source for information leading to medical hypchondria :rolleyes:) there are several kinds of conjunctivitis. Based on the symptoms I've experienced over the last two days I'm thinking it might actually be Blepharoconjunctivitis, and not just because it sounds much more impressive. One of the most common symptoms of this type is eyelid irritation, especially at the 'lip' (the area that holds the lashes). If there is anything I've experienced since I've gotten my new contacts it is eyelid irritation! Bah!

"So-" says Doc, in that tone we wish we could all do "-take these eyedrops every two hours for the next few days (:eek:), I'll read up about this at home and let you know if you need further treatment. Oh, and I'd advise not wearing your contact lenses until your eyes have been clear for at least a week. Hopefully, we should have you cleared up in, oh, only about a week and a half."

:cry:

Problem with my Eye

Woke up early this morning with an odd sensation around my right eye. It felt all weepy and wet and a bit gummmy. The lids felt a touch swollen, too. Went through to the bathroom to have a look and, yes indeedy, it's swollen so far it's half closed! Feels a bit itchy, too. It's not sore, thankfully, but it is mildly annoying.

It was complaining a bit on Friday night and yesterday but I thought it must just have been irritated by the lenses or been tired or something. While it still may have become infected by the contact lenses, this is markedly worse than it was yesterday. I've taken some paracetemol to try and fight any infection but if it's like this tomorrow I'll head down to the Docs and see what they say.

Looks like I won't be wearing the lenses tomorrow either which will make work something of a chore. :frown:
