I was researching “stapedectomy” (or whatever the spelling) as I’ve just been diagnosed with otosclerosis. It is in my right ear & I think it is extending into my left. I’m not using a hearing aid yet but it is making me quite sad. And worried.

I am glad to read that you have recovered from the 2nd round of surgery. Hope you never have to undergo round #3!

@Eileen: I have seen the Charlie Rose interview indeed, love it. He seems quite at ease there.

And – new flat has been found :) More about that tomorrow.

Good to hear that!! :)

I’m great, absurdly busy and moving house too, but all is good :)

Good luck with your flathunt!!!

Great to hear all is well! Very nice to get the update.

How about I move to London and we can flat-hunt together? (Funny, my husband and kids have this crazy notion I should stay in our house.) Good luck with the search.

Thought of you recently when I had a business meeting with a woman who laughed EXACTLY like Bill Nighy’s Billy Mack — heh, heh, heh. It was all I could do not to burst into laughter at a most inappropriate time.

Now that you can hear again, have you seen this interview with BN? http://www.charlierose.com/guest/view/38 You have to suffer through Charlie Rose’s insufferability, but BN is wonderful.

And Daniel Craig is cool in many ways.

Hello Jill! It has been a while! How have you been? :)

Ear is all well now and I am fine :)

Have today visited a potential room in a very nice flatshare. Will hear if they pick me tomorrow, exiting times!

Hey, just heard about your stapedec-o-thing (my, that’s a long and winding name!), hope you’re all fine now and getting better every day!!

Hi Sue – yes that flat in Notting Hill offer got withdrawn again! Am going to focus on finding something decent and reliable now :)

And would have love to see the Pinter show, but my good friend (and Billunatic) is coming over from Devon and we will see a Bill Bailey try out in Hammersmith that evening. I know that the other Bill (Nighy) is a huge Pinter fan so if you see him, tell him I said hello :) And I hope you have a really fantastic evening! The weather should be good in London this weekend!

I thought you’d found another flat recently, did that fall through?
Glad you are feeling better.
Are you doing anything on this coming Sunday evening? I have a spare £10 ticket (front row of the Circle) for The Pinter Tribute at the National Theatre (7pm start) The stalls are put aside for guests so should be full of faces!

Internet with phone line? Oh no, I switched to cable years ago.

Well some landlords get away with not having a contract, but I am just tired of it now and want a place with a decent contract. I have also seen rooms where you had to pay cash every month! That smells suspicious to me too!

Modem – I hope that’s a broadband modem? I don’t expect you are still on the internet with a phone line? :)

See – you are not supposed to work with Pinksteren! :)

And yes I know about the Daniel Craig thing, I saw a head line somewhere where it said: the whole of the UK licks Daniel Craig :)
