After a brief, unplanned break from the Gin Advent Calendar, we're back and playing catch-up.
The latest sessions involved a modern classic, a gin that tasted suspiciously like a melted ice lolly, and the introduction of a new, rock-solid co-host that never takes a sick day.

I'm not the Paul Taylor who, as a spinal surgeon at Mount Hospital in Perth, performed Australia's first surgery using an in-theatre CT scanner in October 2015.

![A clip of a scanned newspaper, "Post", from 17th October 2015. A patient lies on their back on a black operating table that extends through a large CT scanner with a distinctive yellow ring. Two surgeons in turquoise scrubs stand on either side, examining medical scans displayed on monitors mounted above. The white clinical room features medical equipment and overhead surgical lights. Caption text reads "The Airo will give surgeons to access [sic] images of patients while they are on the operating table."
Headline below states "Australian 'first' for CT scanner" with accompanying article text about Dr Paul Taylor at the Mount Hospital performing Australia's first surgery using an in-theatre CT scanner.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nml6axyu2p7fpvknmeyd4bho/bafkreifp5lxhn7vyuodqstrzzglyycjjnsip7ulsyzgsbwptmp6ej7v274@jpeg)

Thank you to those who reached out last night. I'm feeling a little better this morning, and it's always an emotional fillip to know there are people who care.
MrsVark is still very broken, and I don't know how to help her. Whatever the answer is, it's going to take a while.

Listening back to the (potentially) the first track I've created for the #aardhd project and feeling immense because it's everything I imagined and more.

Whilst today's nasty cold is unwelcome, it does at least offer a possible explanation for why my fatigue has been so bad for the last three days.
Achieved almost nothing this weekend, apart from watching the F1 and the snooker.

Had one of those dreams last night that wasn't really a nightmare but was deeply unpleasant. Except, at several points I realised it was a dream, because it was doing the weird things that dreams do. So I woke myself up, albeit with some difficulty. Only to fall asleep again and rejoin the dream […]

It was a close run thing, because I like both players, but I think I came into this final wanting #juddtrump to win. But after that free ball shout, I now want #markselby to win.

Honestly, #maxverstappen has gone up in my estimation more in defeat than he ever did in success.
Outside of some of the shit he pulls when fighting for a corner, he now looks like a decent chap. Good on him.

Wondering what the cheapest way to get to fly first/business class for a flight of decent length.
Seriously considering flying out somewhere on budget just to fly straight home on a stupidly swanky ticket.

#charlesleclerc has been faster than #norris for the first 5 to 6 laps on each set of tyres. Then #lando gets the advantage. Barring any major drama, I don't think #lerclerc is a danger.
