this feels a bit strange. I had an operation on my hand yesterday so I am typing with little stumps of swollen fingers sticking out of the edge of a bandage hand. I thought I was going to be fine until the local wore off now its feels like someone very large has stamped on my hand in golf shoes. I'll post a picture of my stitches tommorow as the presssure dressing is coming off.

I left our puppy in the house unattended today and it ate the velor skin of my daughters black toy poney, then puked it all up on the hall carpet. I've cleaned it up with my left hand and got false hair flock dog sick on my bandage.

Anyway I'm out of action for a couple of weeks but would like to use the time for thinking research and getting a bit of definition on possible directions for work and outcomes from the project.
