turps: (no words)
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.
