There's been a rush of DVD purchasing, what with my birthday last week, and such. We picked up the following to add to the collection:

• Spiderman 2 (which we saw earlier this year)
• Elf (which we saw last year)
• I, Robot (which we saw earlier this year, too)
• Seinfeld Series 1,2 & 3

Now, I need to get Antony to update the DVD collection.

So, my holiday away was interupted.  I wasn't feeling too good. I ended up seeing my local doctor who had a feel around and sent me to hospital, where I waiting in the Emergency waiting room for a long long time.

It turns out that I had another case of diverticulitis - yes, I had this earlier in the year and my doctor had told me to do something about it, but I hadn't. Now, I ended up in hospital with an IV drip in my arm and NIL BY MOUTH, on the eve of the Federal Election!

While I am in hospital, folks find out that I am not well and they used a service on the hospital's website to send email to patients. Funny thing about this is that they print the message and deliver them to your room. I got literally 100's of messages. To everyone who sent me a message - thank you!

So, I respond well to the antibiotics and soon I am allowed to eat solids. Things progress and I am allowed to leave the hospital and rest - no email, no internet, no blogging - just rest.

What is a geek to do??  Geoff Appleby had some suggestions!!!

I have been at home for 4 weeks and have had a great break - I read many books, seen many movies, bought lots of stuff. All these things deserve their own posts!
