T-Bird Anni Rides Again

We’ll do the family stuff first then you can skip me being gloomy at the end if you prefer.

We went to Jungle Jims (AGAIN!!) today.  Good job that place is cheap!  This time we took a couple of nylon sack race bags so Aprilia and L could really whizz down the big slide.  Great success!  They came back to our house afterwards and the girls played the "Twister-meets-world-geography" game from ELC which made for much giggling and falling over and displayed an impressive knowlege of the continents for 2 small girls.  Think I need to make a few of my own on the same theme but with UK counties or something to give us some variety and maybe even get me to learn a bit of geography alongside Aprilia.

I wsa a mean mummy at bedtime and turned down her offer to do puzzles (gasp!) as I’m tired, she’s so tired she has suitcases not bags under her eyes and really didn’t feel that puzzles as a bedtime avoidance strategy was a good one.  Not that she has gone to sleep or anything but I can kid myself that at least she is resting physically whilst singing can’t I?

So skip this next bit if you want - sure someone has blogged something more fun…..

On to the saga of Harley

I spoke to him on the phone this afternoon.  He is not a happy boy.  He has had an attack of amnesia, initially he lost the last 6 months of his life completely but now he only has about 3 hours that he really cannot find.  He knows that he drove about 40 miles during those 3 hours (because he had just fueled the car and zeroed th "trip") and turned up at the house of a friend not far from his own home.  He vaguely recognised the house but didn’t know why so knocked hoping that whoever was there could fill in the details for him.  After that he has no memory of being taken home and from there to hospital until he "woke up" on the medical assessment ward in the evening.  He is having trouble remembering names still which is really upsetting him as he has a photographic memory normally.  He was surprised and shocked when I described how he was when he called in on me in the morning as he was under the impression that he had been fine at that point.  

Doing the "armchair medic" bit I turned up this which could well hit the nail on the head 

"Transient global amnesia (TGA)
