Burnley v Sunderland

Mixed feelings today as Burnley entertain Sunderland at Turf Moor in the Premier League.

Burnley by birth and Sunderland by adoption, having lived there for nine years and having been a regullar at Roker Park throughout that period.

Up the Clarets!

My Operation

When we talk about medicine and doctors and the NHS we all say how vitally important it is to maintain the confidentiality of the doctor patient relationship. However, you can travel on a bus or train, walk down the street and even sit in a cafe or restaurant and hear people discussing their most intimate details of their medical history.

Well, I'm not going to do that save to say I had an operation on Wednesday: keyhole surgery. The benefit of it being keyhole surgery is that I was operated on at around 8:30 am and was home by around 3:00 pm. Alternatively I would probably still be in hospital two/three days later and would need six weeks off work rather than being able to go back to work immediately.

I say immedidately but I got tired very quickly yesterday and today because of the lasting effects of the anaesthetic. The pain is minor, however. I am also fit enough to wander the streets a little.

Then again, I recovered a lot quicker than the much younger man in the bed next to me!

So now you know and here is a photo of the key holes they used to operate on me. If you are squeamish, turn away now!

Excel 2007 with Excel Master

It's official: www.excelmaster.co.uk ... I can now reveal the address of my new web site. This is the web site for my up and coming book which will be called Excel 2007 with Excel Master.

The site is up and running but it is a work in progress at the time of writing. There are some good and useful things there already but there are going to be a lot more.

The book is more than half written now and it's going well.

Take a look at the web site: www.excelmaster.co.uk

Let me have your feedback and let me have your ideas: if there's something you want me to do, let me know and I'll do it if I can.
