Ah, there's something so lovely about being inside drinking soup and reading whilst a storm rages outside...dum de doo...
Anyway, I have a
very interesting tidbit of news to report to you.
First off, I may be featured in an article in The Observer on microtia! Hahaaaaa! I've already had a woman ring me up and interview me over the phone, and they said they might print before and after pictures. Joyfulness!
(For the record, microtia is a very rare condition where an ear or ears are very distorted and weirdly-shaped on the outside, and a surgeon called David Gault has developed a way to fix them using a skin graft operation or two, and I had two operations on my right ear in 2004. And apparently people are interested in it because it's relatively new, and they wanted to talk to me because I'm one of the few who's had it done.)
So that's that. But it's not all.
Apparently, they want to put my name forward for a programme on surgery on ITV as well.
!!!!
I'm going to be on TV! Me! The curly-haired loon! Possibly. I don't know yet. But it's definitely lurking in the shadows; they called Dad today (I was still sleeping...well, it's August!) and asked permission to possibly use me for the programme, and he said I wouldn't mind.
So on on the one hand I'm excited, on the other hand, if I don't photograph well, I CERTAINLY won't look very appealing on screen. And plus I have a horrible voice as well. I think so, anway.
So...that's the news. It not *definitely definitely* happening yet, but I'll let you know if it comes to fruition.
Good grief, that was a loud thunderclap. Still raining furiously; I love watching it rain, does anyone else?
Anyway, better vamoose. Going swimming with the Chernobyl lot.
Rosby out and about and out.
Jake G forever.
