This little shit of a computer has just lost the large post I typed when I allowed popups from this site for the spell checker. To cut a long story short, S got sent to A&E this morning by her GP as she's been having stomach pains which have got worse and worse. We assumed IBS thus nothing the Dr's could do but it seems maybe not. They are keeping her in over night to "observe" her but the nurses have talked about surgery tomorrow although the patient is the last to find out what's going on. Luckily they moved her from the corridor trolley she occupied all day to a quieter ward. We should find out tomorrow what's going on although I suspect they don't really have a clue.

The good news is that I discovered the Tesco's at the end of Nutley Lane sells Black Sheep beer! First real Ale I've found in Ireland! The shop was total crap for everything else, including the sausage roll I bought that was rock solid (it was the only thing left for sale in the hot counter other than several whole cooked chickens, which on reflection would have been easier to eat with no cutlery).
