Weekend update...

...okay, so the doctor (oh btw - 3 visits to this surgery so far and I've got a different doctor each time! This one was an American lady...previous ones have been an Indian lady and and Indian gentleman) said the wrist problem is confirmed as a "Ganglion" (sounds nice, doesn't it?), it's operable with a minor surgical procedure, but I didn't want to do anything until I'd looked it up myself (starting to worry about the lot up at Earlswood surgery, seems they are a bit knife-happy ;)...Anyway, it seems the procedure that she suggested (aspiration) results in a high chance of recurrence of the fault, so I think I'm going to take the "wait and see" option for the time being, it's uncomfortable but I can put up with it...

Friday PM I headed out to meet up with Tommo (armed with Mavica) acting on a tip off that more filming was happening in the area (playing amateur paparatzi ;) but as it turned out the crew had arrived early in the day, set up all the lights, started to unload all the other gear and then just packed up again and vanished (looks like they might have got behind with the filming)...so instead we drank beer/ate Chinese food/played Xbox/etc which was cool fun regardless... ;)

The rest of the weekend was spent messing/lounging around with Flyingpops - watched "The New World" which was excellent (but about half an hour too long imho)...watched the latest episode of "Lost" which was superb (still think the producers are spending too long reading the forums though, it's like the fans are saying "Have you forgotten?" to the writers and they are rushing to keep up)! Oh, the hieroglyphics apparently roughly translate (in ancient Egyptian) to a word that means both "arrival" and "impending death"...interesting stuff, expected a little more drama though when Locke mucked up!

update - Wiki have that translation as literally "die" see here

Oh, and I've settled on "Generally Speaking" as my new Lost podcast of choice btw...very good stuff... ;)

Good weekend all things considered... ;)

Oh dear, the wrist thing sounds sucky...

As for Lost, That Sawyer's a nasty man, and Sayid is either very perceptive or very gullible when it comes to Charlie. Heres to Locke slapping Sawyer round Charlie-style sometime in the future...
