Pooka rolling in a really good smell
The request has been time out!
Our home internet connection is working today after more than three weeks of… er… not working. This has been annoying and expensive. My Blackberry has been good, but for things that work better on a proper computer I’ve been using a couple of pre-paid 3G modems (the USB stick ones). They’re on different phone networks, [...]
Yay’s School of Doctoring: Lesson 1
If your patient has a high potassium level (nb. This is bad), it is indeed a good thing to cease a medication that can raise potassium levels.

Well it turns out that cockatoos (possibly even the ones shown above – hard to say) have been throwing rocks onto [...]

My internet (and phone) has been broken for the last week. This has been somewhat trying although not really a disaster.

There is only one reason that I am sure this is not Pooka. Pooka doesn’t smile in the bath.
Onions
So I’m doing a spot of cooking – I’ve decided on Boston Baked Beans for dinner tonight. Highly recommended.
But anyway, sitting at the table chopping onions and browsing a few forums, it occurred to me that onions don’t make me cry anymore. Why is this? I can’t think when I last had eye troubles with [...]
