1 Yes, yes, I'm know I'm being carried away. Even so, bear with me. After all, I have a laptop and thus am prey to the tendency which corresponds to playing with one's new mobile telephone, namely, playing with the laptop.
2 Yet, being out of hospital, I do have something substantive to report. I was a patient in East Surrey Hospital for six days, during which time I came quickly to an unqualified admiration for the kindliness with which everyone of the staff treated me.
2.1 Meanwhile, there were two of us in the ward of six beds who had laptops. From 0700 onwards we were logged in and we remained so throughout the day. Rig for the day was hospital pyjamas, a costume which acted as a passe-partout throughout the hospital. Morning walks for the paper and the coffee, walks later in the morning and later for the pleasure of walking and of coffee. Books and books.
3 And a heartening, so heartening a network of supporters and minders. A chap is entitled to feel just how fortunate he is and to feel just how humbled he is.
4 Meanwhile, I'll keep doing what the management require me to, that is, to follow the rules of release and to keep taking the pills.
