Gold Mother
A happy event in Stationers Park: a mother duck and no less than 14 happy ducklings were seen waddling towards Weston Park primary school last week. That’s one hell of a multiple birth (and as a York University graduate, I’m quite a duck expert). A welcome and cheering stress relief from the recent weeks of living at the mercy of estate agents and getting nowhere.
Gold Mother – one of many wonderful songs performed by James at Brixton Academy on Friday night. After calling in at our friend Barry’s book launch party, we headed off for the night of our lives. How amazing that something you think you have lost forever can suddenly reappear in your life, even more beautiful than before.
But also how amazing that just when you think you have subtitled your worst ever programme, something even more extraordinary comes your way. This week it was live surgery. On the internet. Is this what the world has come to? So peed off with the appalling state of the NHS in Britain or too poor to have health insurance in the US that your only solution is to learn how to perform operations yourself from webcasts? Actually, it wasn’t quite as bad as I feared – it was a piece showing surgeons how to use a new-fangled type of stent in repairing aneurysms (to give it its full mouthful of a title: Replay of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Repair Featuring Cook Zenith TX2 Endovascular Graft and New Z-Trak Plus Introduction System) and so crushingly dull that you’d have switched off at the first angiogram. Learn more at www.or-live.com, but for God’s sake don’t try this at home.
