All calm over here. Itching only a little now. No more dodgy BM’s. I am sleeping more than usual, having a morning nap.

Something has changed. Not sure what yet, but ever since the black alien goop was expelled from me….something has changed.

I seem to be putting on weight, early days yet, but feels like I’m padding out. I have been getting tired after meals which is new for me.

I don’t know, but something is a foot…….

I got the axe out today, chopped up a load of fire wood for Christmas day, we have the in-laws over for Christmas day which will be nice. I have to be real careful with the axe, last thing I need is to put my back out. Every chop I think Alex T thoughts, just to make sure my posture is correct. Strange, but its automatic now, as soon as I lift the axe, my body assumes a good posture and I only need make a teeny tiny little thought of Alex T and chop chop chop.

Picked up the turkey today. Bought all the veggies and I’m ready to go for tomorrow.

Tonight, as is tradition, I will be wrapping up all the presents. I always leave it to the last minute…..tradition.

Good luck on the new skis, a little bit of axe work I will risk, skiing I will not. We are going on a skiing holiday in feb, my wife has a bun in the oven and cannot ski, and I will not either so its all for my daughter. We going with 24 people. 7 from Lily’s class. Should be good fun even if we not skiing.

Skiing was where I first hurt my back. I was right at the top of the mountain. The very tippity top. A huge black run and on the first turn and pulled a muscle in back. Was agony going down the mountain on my bum. Took a long time. I spent all week on my back. I used to be a good skier.

Oooo, gotta go……..

Merry Christmas Sos
