One month on

So the task didn't exactly go according to plan this month. I'll tell you for why.

One week into my trauma and orthopaedics rotation, I played a bit of sunday night football and during that sunday night football, I managed to damage myself. My right little finger took the brunt of a fall onto the turf and, working in a hospital in amongst hand specialists, I got myself checked out. Turns out that I have a volar plate injury. Now by no means is this a crippling injury but in terms of playing guitar obsessively and improving my string skills...well you can imagine it's not quite cricket.

So anyway, that aside, in other news, I have witnessed the return of my doppelganger. Now this person, whoever it may be, simply will not leave me alone. It seems he has ventured out of London and is now closer to my place of work in Reading. The other day, I was stopped in the street by a reasonably old and slightly creepy man. He carried a Tescos bag in one hand, the contents of which looked dubious. His exact words were, 'You were in the shop weren't you.' It was a statement and not a question. Needless to say, I was most certainly not in the shop - something that I proceeded to tell him in no uncertain terms. At first he refused to believe me (no word of a lie). When I again reiterated that I had in fact not been in any commercial outlets that day, he replied with the words, 'well it was someone who looked EXACTLY like you.' The identity of this imposter continues to evade me. One day I'll find him. One day.

Of note this month, I have been surprisingly successful in celebrity spots. Having ended the month with a week off to continue the 3rd draft of my novel (Its coming along well), I found myself first of all face to face with KT Tunstall. In real life, as my FB posts will tell you, she is very small. But also pretty damn hot. And then I saw Nadia from Big Brother. Not as good a spot, I'll grant you but a spot nonetheless.

Anyway, not much more to tell you. Next month, I depart from London for good and I will be moving into my new flat if all goes well. It will be a sad but exciting time. As such it promises to be a busy month full of recovering volar plates and possibly some developing six packs.

Until next time.
