Quite a good day altogether. Decided to stay in bed till 11:30 am...bet you wish you could do that! Then finally got my butt out of bed and opened the sexy xbox 360. Cool looking machine. Loaded up Splinter Cell and then got stuck....why are there so many buttons on the controller? In the good old days you were lucky to have 4 button. Anyway, after reading the instruction manual (the only way to work out what all these buttons do) I started playing the game. I managed about an hour before the motion sickness kicked in. I've always had a problem with real time games in that the movements are too realistic, and they cause me to feel a little queezy. Anyway, I managed to complete the first 2 parts of the first mission.
Then I really got stuck, so I called Rodney up. He seems to be going through a winning streak at the moment and thought that he could apply his luck to Splinter Cell. Sorry to say Rodney, you were crap....but thanks for trying.
Also thinking about getting a 6ft snooker table in the living room. It might mean me having to remove all the other furniture from the room, but I'm sure it will be worth it. The only other obvious problem is the glass windows....any ideas? I've been watching the snooker on TV, it's been years since I've done this. Some of the old players are still keeping up a good fight. The only down side is that BBC2 have taken off Ready Steady Cook to allow for the snooker. I'm not sure that even snooker is worth that sacrific. I'm sure you all agree right? No...well have a think about it. I have last years back catalogue of episodes should anyone require them.
Family came to visit later in the day. They suggested I ought to have a shave. I think they might be right. Managed to miss a meal by falling asleep during lunch. Oh, almost forgot. I went into the real world today...well Sainsbury's anyway. First stop was the fresh cake section. Needless to say, I do not think anyone will be worry about my calorie in take today. I still seem to have a real problem eating fruit, seems to get stuck in my throat much more than any other foods. A real shame since I love fruit so much.

Hi Jay,
Glad to hear you're out and about. Always a pleasure reading your blog. Its the only reason I go to work coz my PC at home just packed up so no internet.
Good to hear you stepped out into the real world and went to Sainsburys. Next time you feel a little adventurous, try taking a trip to the Sainsburys in Stratford. I'm sure you remember what it's like!
So you say you wanna buy a snooker/pool table but worried about breaking the glass. I got the perfect solution. World Snooker for the Xbox360. Need I say more....
Anyway, better get back to looking busy at work.
Take care and speak 2 u soon,
Nee
you won't break the glass mate, unless you miss getting a 147!
i think its a great idea. let us know when you get it and we can have a mini comp!
Barney how is it going?
Hi Jay!
Sorry it's taken me so long to leave a message but only check email recently.
What a great idea this is. It was so sad to read about your first few days of chemo but that made some of the later entries all the better and happier to read...especially the fact that you are eating more.
What I am still shocked at is the fact that it took you 8 days to think about eating 'The Holy Grail' of foods (according to you, that is) the JACKET POTATO!!! You must be unwell.
Really wish I had the time last week to come and see you but as per usual, I am stuck bang in the middle of exams. Would love to come and see you both on Sunday if you're free and not planning further trips to Waitrose, Tesco and M&S.
Surely, you could do with an extra pair of hands on Splinter Cell?
I've got an old Acorn Electron with Steve Davis Snooker on it...if you like we could do a swap...give me a tenner as well and we'll call it even, hey?
Really hope there are more days like today for you mate.
Rohit.
