    2012 in review – by WordPress

    The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog. I will have to do some sort of end of year entry, even though it is a bit late. Here’s an excerpt: 600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 6,900 views in 2012. If every…

    Asbestos – the wonder material of the future, yesterday!

    “Gasp! The horror! Asbestos!”  they cry, as the ordinary decent folk look on in disbelief. “Surely asbestos is the worst thing since satan?”. Well, actually things are not as clear cut as they seem here, and we shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss the fibres as another one of humanity’s terrible mistakes; of which there…

    No room at the inn

    I sit here alone, in a spare room in the nurses home in Altnagelvin Area Hospital, contemplating what I did wrong to end up in this situation. As I suspected prior to my arrival, there was no room allocated for me, even though all students placed here are supposed to be given rooms without booking…

    Anyone need a sofa?

      This has progressed quickly from merely a placeholder for the photos of the sofa we are trying to get rid of to an advertisement. If anyone is looking for a vintage green Bridgecraft sofa and two armchairs, we will happy give them away to a good home. They are in pretty decent condition considering…

    Huh…Metal Gear?!

    I sit here with my family, in front of a roaring fire, in quiet contemplation, and enjoying having a night off from hosting guests. Since the eve of Christmas eve, we have had people over visiting, which entailed non-stop cooking, cleaning and entertaining. It is always nice to see everyone, but there comes a time…

    Christmas 2012

    Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all have had great days, spending time with loved ones, while eating and drinking copious amounts of food and booze respectively. Tis the season to be jolly after all. Though someone has to prepare the food, or in our case, a team of people. All this other stuff going…

    My week off

    Or perhaps it should be called “My week on” because I ended up doing so much stuff. Yes, it was my wonderful self-directed learning week, rather cruelly and dastardly placed the week before my last week of class, forcing me to fully abandon work for Christmas preparations only to have to pick things up a…

    If in doubt…

    …cut it out! That’s the motto of dermatology, or at least it’s the approach taken when it comes to suspicious moles and other skin cancers. It has been a busy week in Antrim, and scattered all over the Northern Trust, but it has also been fun. I managed to get back up to Belfast to…

    A game review?! Not really

    There was no real post last weekend, just a general commentary on life and death. I did not feel inspired to write anything interesting or whimsical, it just didn’t seem appropriate in my mind at that time. Another new week though, and life goes on. Another good week of ENT in Altnagelvin, though things were…

    We are all but mere mortals

    We are all but mere mortals. No truer has that sentiment been to me than the last few days, when I lost a classmate and friend to a terrible accident. It is the most surreal, and unreal, experience I have ever known. To know someone you knew, and so full of life, is gone from…
