Spring's sprung, so what's new?

Another week begins.

The Pope is dead, here beginneth the circus that surely follows as they debate who might be the next leader of the Roman Catholic faith.

On a more personal note, I am off for a series of tests on an ulcer that won't go and has got infected. It has caused a lump in my mouth and, as a smoker, it seems like a good idea to get some medically-trained people to give me their opinion on it. I'll report back once I have more information.

Secondly - on the personal front - my Mum is going back into hospital on Sunday 10 April for further treatment. She should be in for about 5 - 7 weeks, but we shall have to wait and see. I have no more information than that, unless of course you're looking for Severe Aplastic Anaemia information, in which case I know a fair bit about it now.

Consequently, with all this going on in my life I haven't even begun to write anything new, let alone look over previous material to keep the appetites of my readers sated. I promise, promise, promise that I will place up something new soon, even if it is a small haiku.

I have not written
for so long it is weighing
down each thought I have

So, satisfied for now? I hope so, that was harder than it might have seemed. Counting 5, 7, 5 is not my strongest point. Good job I never decided to become a mathematics teacher.
