I got a letter from my doctors yesterday saying I'd been formally discharged from the weight loss surgery programme at the hospital and my doctors would be taking on my care from now on. Now, considering my last appointment at the hospital was at the back end of last year and I was told I was discharged then, I'd say the doctors are running a little behind.

For some reason my computer has decided to not detect my kindle fire. It still charges fine, but when I attempt to use calibre it just doesn't see it any more. It's not a huge deal as official kindle books will still upload wirelessly, and obviously I can read fic directly at the page, but any books that I download that aren't kindle version just aren't happening.

James' flare has turned into a big flair which isn't really much of a surprise. Thankfully it's only his right side that's affected badly and as he drives one handed anyway, can still drive for short distances, though it is only short as he gets very tired easily right now. As soon as the doctor saw him on Monday he signed him off work for two weeks with a review then to see if he needs more time, Sadly all he can do is be patient and wait for all his ligaments and joints to loosen up again. I've been mean by making him go out for walks because the last thing he needs is to seize up completely, which is what will happen if he sits on the couch for a fortnight. We've had wanders into town to have a coffee at Costa, been to sibs dinner on Thursday, and to the cinema at Durham.

I'm so glad that's opened now, it's such a short drive away and fits into the whole gentle walk thing with a lot of resting. We went to see Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which I really didn't like at first, got into it and started to enjoy the aesthetics and feel, and then sat wide eyed and wincing at the end. I also came out thinking there was bound to be fic, and yep. This is the best I've read, capturing Cliff's voice so well, though, obviously, contains a load of spoilers.

Today the heat has rocketed back up again and we're apparently going to have another heat wave over the weekend and bank holiday Monday. The weather is just so weird, I was feeling autumn in the air last week and now we're right back to what feels like high summer.

The date for Strictly has been released -- though Gorka isn't a main dancer this year, sadness, and Bake Off starts next week. Bring on the autumn tv, even if it is scorching out there.

Oh wow, yeah that’s definitely behind! I’m waiting on hearing back from my assessment but I don’t want to chase it up

That sounds annoying!

Oh no, I hope it passes soon for him and it doesn’t get worse *hugs*

I’m glad you had a nice time, I dunno anything about that film though.

Yeah the weather has been exactly the same here, eww. Aww no. He was one of the good ones. I’m not sure I know any of the celebs for it really though. But yay bake off!

That's so weird about your Kindle. Are there any help pages on the Amazon website that could help???

Sorry about James' pain. May the walks help! Gotta keep everything flexible. And yay for the new cinema. From your Instagram it appears to be in a picturesque part of town.

Bummer about the heat wave. Wish we could send you some good weather vibes, it's cool and comfortable here in the Chicago suburbs.

I hope the walks help James get back to normal - it's nice that you have several good places to head to, with a reward at the end.

terrible to hear there's another heat wave - may you survive comfortably! apply cold drinks, cool clothes and ice cream as required

Going by what I can do, you can email fic to your kindle. You should have an [Bad username or site: kindle @ com] email (I think it is) in settings somewhere, so that may be a way around your issue.

For me, it is under, settings>your account> send to kindle email.

Better late than never?

Poor James! Sending him lots of good and healing thoughts! And hopefully you'll have excellent walking weather for the next fortnight :-)

Our weather was lovely today, sunny and just warm enough. And the clear and crisp air prevented it from feeling too much like high summer. Though it's supposed to get MUCH warmer tomorrow (+29C *shudder*) but hopefully that won't happen!

Neil and Gorka have swapped out, right? It's not such a surprise that they've moved Neil forwards, they were kind of pushing for that last year I think.



I hope James starts to feel better really soon.

How frustrating about your kindle! And sending good wishes for James, I hope the movement does some good and that this passes as soon as it can.

Oh, noes at James' flare throwing a tantrum. >:( Like many have said thru the years, I'm ready for my robot body any day now...

I'm glad you enjoyed Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I watched it for free and didn't, hahaha. But what else is new, huh? #LOL

There's a hurricane off the coast right now. Thankfully, it's not due to hit any part of my city. Though it's brought a lot of overcast skies and rain. It's worked wonders for my mood since it's nowhere near as sunny as it would normally be around now.
