Thank goodness I'm finally feeling 95% better, after my 7-day stint in Bathurst Hospital last week. I totally missed the whole 'Easter' thing too.
At first they thought it was a chest infection, then a blood-clot in the lung, then they thought it was gallstones... in the end it was mild pneumonia, AND a small blood-clot in the lung! Gagh! They were on-again/off-again going to operate on me, for a period of 5 days, so I didn't know if I was going to stay or go home.
The pain? It was like having a burning spear thrust through under my right rib cage, and out the back. I couldn't eat nor sleep for 4 days... I was totally gazonked (I believe that is the correct medical expression?)
Thankfully, my emotional state stayed buoyant throughout, for which I am extremely thankful for.
To keep myself occupied - and the blood flowing (and keep some pain at bay) - I must have walked 100's of 'laps' around the hospital ward corridors... at least I got to meet a lot of nice people that way.

Even Thoon my goldfish, survived without feeding for five days (which than can, anyway)... bleedin' resilient little bloke, this one.
A HUGE thank you to all the staff at Bathurst Base Hospital, for providing such positive care, during some of my sickest times.
A HUGE thank you to Alyson, for picking-up some fresh bits'n'pieces for me, while I was stuck in hospital - you are an ANGEL!

How do they do the whole home waste thing at your place? Gone (starting this week here) was the two bins, replaced by: one for general waste, one for green/garden/food scraps, and one for recycling. Three bins for us, now.
I don't know why, but I ended-up with two yellow (recyclables) bins... I simply don't create that much recyclable material every two weeks! But that's no biggie in the overall scheme of things, huh?

The green bin is a bit of a clanger for me... I create no garden waste (I just mulch my lawn clippings back into the grass, every time I mow), and my kitchen food scraps would only fill an ice cream container once a week. So, I know I won't be filling-up one of these new big green bins in a hurry. I don't have anywhere to crate a little home veggie patch here, otherwise I would have been composting 2 years ago.
Peas be with ewe
