Another hospital stay

Unfortunately, i have had to go back to hospital once again. I was in hospital from last Friday the 24th of May to Thursday the 30th of May. The problem was another bowl obstruction. This was the same thing that put me in hospital two years ago. Fortunately, this time the doctors did not have to operate. They kept me on a drip for a while and that seemed to clear the problem. So no operation was necessary. Lets hope that I don't have to go back anytime soon.

I am pleased about that because I quite like our Prime Minister and I really did not want to see another Labor Party Government in power. The Labor party rarely does a good job of governing federally.


The 2019 Eurovision Song Contest This year the Eurovision Song Contest was staged in Israel. They dis a fantastic job. I must say, Eurovison rarely disappoints and this one was no exception. The show was won by a Dutch guy who sang a song called "Arcade". The vote was a cliffhanger which was great. Our girl from Australia placed seventh.
