My last meal was an array of juicy fat curried prawns, potato salad, beek steak, taro and ice cream.


Last Night
It is fair to say that by 12:15pm this afternoon,
I was famished, parched, starved, tired, sleepy.
I could not even have a drink of water.
All becuase I had to have surgery to remove the lump from my right breast.
And the f*&^en operation did not go ahead.
I wasted a day, sitting in a drab waiting room with geriatrics for a surgery that never took place.
At the 11th hour, the doctors came and basically asked me "Do you really need this op?"
To sum up what the bastard said he indicated that "We have more serious cases, and you are not a priority, therefore, don't bother".
I'm cursing the medical profession today for their arrogance and inconsideration.
Anyhow, becuase my surgery didn't happen, I found myself outside the hospital grounds with my backpack, the cellphone, ipod, and $20.00 cash.


Gui left me on the understanding that I was going to be in the hospital for another 4 hours minimum.
Instead of him coming back to get me, I assured him I was to catch a taxi and go home.

However, there was no taxis outside and I couldnt call from Gui's phone.
For the first time in years, I ventured out and caught the bus.
To town

I was really hungry by then but remember I only had $20.00 in my pocket. My wallet is at home.

Do I buy a sandwich and walk home?

Or taxi home and what if $20.oo doesn't get me home?

So I caught the bus to the nearest transport centre ($1.50) and taxied home ($20.50) at which Nita came out with Maeva to pay the remaining amount ($3.00).


Anyhow, on the upside, I did get a day off today. Spent it with Nita and Maeva, going to the Coffee Club to have food and shop at the Warehouse and drive around and have an afternoon nap.

ahh, I should pull a sickie more often, Life is so much more fun when there's no work!!!!

eh,.better go to sleep....work tomorrow )-:

Hello Guillaume et Jody, c'est Mamoune !!! Je suis chez Nane et Paul Edouard et je viens de voir toutes les photos de Maeva! Il y a aussi Clara avec nous. Je vois enfin ma petite fille sur leur ordinateur:c'est une merveille, il n'y a pas autre chose à dire, elle parait très vivante. Je telephonerai à Guillaume pour son anniversaire, dans la semaine. Je pars chez Bédou du 13 au 20 pour faire la connaissance de mes numéros 9, 10 et 11, arrières petits z'enfants !!! Gros bisous, Mamoune

Bonjour vous 3,
encore un message en français en provenance du sud de la france. j'ai enfin un compte sur google pour écrire sur votre blog (je sais je suis en retard mais je me soigne !!). Votre petite Maeva est une merveille à tout point de vu, elle a un sourire à tomber. Notre petite clara aussi pousse bien, même trés bien. C'est un bonheur de tous les jours mais ça j'imagine que vous le savez déjà. J'ai hate que nos filles se rencontrent enfin... a trés bientot, gros bisous

anais (vola), clara et sylvain

Suga, sounds like it was a shitty day...well up until you got home and make up for being famished at the coffee club hehe.
How are you doing? I hope you told them they were a bunch of wankers for making you starve yourself for the op only to ever so bluntly tell you its not serious enough to operate on in the end.
Sickie days spent well are always the best until you have to go back to work the next day ;)
Hugs and kisses for your gorgeous babo and hi to daddy Gui from me and my chicken men.
