Bad friend: sorry
I’ve been in the hospice for a few weeks now, struggling with breathing, talking and finer cognitive tasks like typing. My balance is fucked and I’m a high fall risk
But I have a Halloween hat, and I think of you all often ❤️

Listened to the news a bit
What I apprehended was:
Mentally ill people should work. Physically ill people should work. It’s good for them, I imagine. Can’t prove it, but it suits one’s privileged world view
And then we grind their bones to make our bread. It’s what Thatcher would have wanted

Got my @arrowvideo.bsky.social 4K Zombie Flesh Eaters today. I’m down the fathomless Fulci hole now. Maybe Murder Rock later.
Definitely the Gates Of Hell tomorrow though.

Day four of #Frightenby25 and we are going H.G. Wells mode. He’s not often thought of as a horror writer per se. Just the pioneer of every major SF genre ever.
But these are great:
9) Island Of Lost Souls (1932)
10) The Invisible Man (1933)

First time in ages that I’ve had the desire and capacity to cook. Pan seared salmon fillets with a sweet chilli, honey and lime sauce of my own devising.
Presentation needs work, but god it was tasty.

Home after a fortnight in the hospice: one week of grimdark, one week of recuperation
I’m getting care visits twice a day to cover the things I now struggle with
We are so lucky up here with the help that is immediately, joyfully available
I bought myself some flowers because I’m a fancypants

Great call regarding Gödel, Escher, Bach on today’s @trapone.bsky.social
I was married to that book in the early 80s!
And it did inform my viewing of Castrovalva, big time.

It’s very therapeutic
If people want to be philosophically minuscule, regressive thugs that is one thing, but don’t drag that feculent cant onto my TL

Day eight down the hospice. I’m usually in and out in two, three tops
It’s all gone south this time to an extent. I’m optimistic about getting home for a bit sometime soon, but who really knows?
I haven’t gone mad with boredom exactly, but I have started journaling
Fucking hell. Who even am I?

I thought this jumper might come with a free “pleasant, open face”
Alas, my friends, it did not
What I have is most charitably described as “a face”

Well, quite.
Although like Errol Brown I believe in miracles. I just tend towards thinking that they are unique experiential phenomena. What happens in your head stays in your head.

Does CE3K get slightly lost in the Spielberg discourse, I wonder.
It’s my favourite. It’s the only time (I was 12) that I can remember Dad taking me to the cinema and seeing things the way I saw things.
He was patient, God bless him.
I miss him every day.

Down the Highland Hospice for lunch with two of my dearest friends.
Then this afternoon was Men’s Group, because I am so very, very manly. The hospice does so much palliative care prior to end of life protocols it’s unbelievable.
I’m on my knees with gratitude ❤️

To my regret I have never worn a fez, but I did briefly have custody of a pith helmet.
