Victory!!!!

No - not an early glimpse of the London mayoral result -- we seem to have another three hours to wait as of now - but the verdict from my visit to the consultant on Wednesday. Not sure I would normally rejoice in spending £ 300 for a couple of photos that you can't exactly stick in an album and a brief chat about the merits of Setanta Sports (recommended by the way - not just for IPL but NHL as well -- doctor is a bit of a hockey head) - but worth paying for the verdict that everything going very well; implant now cemented in place and all I need now is to get muscles in shape.... and then the world is proverbial oyster (or mussel as I don't like oysters much).

So beginning to emerge from three months in which - well not much has changed: Democrats still don't know who their Presidential candidate is going to be; economy not looking very perky; we still don't know who will win the Premiership; we still don't have a President of Zimbabwe; polls still suggest general election two years away; we don't know who will be Sir Alan's apprentice or "Nancy". The only things that have changed are that Evan has worked out how not to "crash the pips" on the Today programme; people have started worrying about prices again - both those going up - food, petrol and those going down - houses; and some time later tonight a lot of cabbies may be celebrating the demise of Ken. One of the things that does seem to have changed is that traffic in London has got worse while I was away ... but that may be more a function of sitting watching taxi meters gobble cash instead of sailing past on the bike.

So next appointment in January.... will anything have changed by then?
