Emergency door with instructions for use and also including its weight (15Kg!)

Sitting in the emergency aisle, first time I’ve seen the weight of that door that’s so casually throw away in the drawings…

Am wondering same tbh. But I have an access card. Which has been updated and I need to pick up from Reception. Which is on the other side of the door.

This week I need to take a colleague visiting from Malaysia to our nearest office, which I’ve never been to. Went to find it and slightly amused that it’s accessed via the train station, behind an innocent-looking door, like something from James Bond.

Seem to have reached that stage of recovery known as ‘Grumpy’.

Walked a whole 2.3 miles. Probably should have carried less. Now very tired.

Being allowed out unaccompanied. Luckily coinciding with being able to reach my shoelaces. Having scorned advice it’s two weeks minimum recovery, a week in, every muscle that’s been keeping me going is actively complaining and my waistband is pointedly reminding me where the dressings are.

Day 5 post op. Stitched a repair on Bob (comfort plush pillow) and it feels like a metaphor. Felt great when I got up, now tired, muffle-headed, too warm and feeling every bruise and tired muscle. I’m an impatient patient.

My first (far from original) post here. Here because there ceased to be enjoyable. Expect photos, general comments, specific posts on tech/data and related matters. Plus travel, history etc.
