About the site

This site may become the main site of the Begg Family in the North East  of England.  I'm able to make Blog entries with photos from various applications including Windows LiveWriter and Word 2010 on PC and iBlogger on iPhone and Blogger+ on iPad and iPhone.  There's a iPhone friendly web page when I can get it working!  Lots of extensibility.

Moveable Type Test 2

clock January 3, 2012 20:12 by author Administrator |

This time I've selected moveable type as the system and the moveable type API.  Last time, I simply changed the API from Metaweblog to Moveable type with system as other.  Fingers crossed, the UI looks very different with both Tags and Keywords offered.

Cooh!  The tags end up in circles. The tags field is ticked in the View menu. Now to see if they all get published!  Here we go Redsweater.



Moveable Type Test

Hi All, Trying different Blog Types with MarsEdit.  This one also offers Categories, but no tags, still greyed out.  However, I"m offered keywords, so may try that.



Another MarsEdit test

clock January 3, 2012 17:57 by author Administrator |

Hi All, I've been asked by the MarsEdit developer to share my problems with him.  As you can see, categories appear on the right, but no sign of tags. The tags field is greyed out, but I'm offered 'Technorati tags', which will not appear in my Blog's Tag Cloud.

Perhaps that's a problem with its use of the Metaweblog API.

Hi Guys

,IMG_0097.jpg

Here's Christine on the way home from Altrincham, at Wetherby Services having a Chickenburger with Cranberry from Burger King!



Christine's Home

clock January 2, 2012 14:49 by author Administrator |

I brought Christine home today at about 1:15pm.  She's been instructed to rest her voice completely and been given painkillers, even though she has no pain!  When we arrived home, Melissa was here and had brought some dinner for us to heat up and some lovely flowers for her Mam, picked by Josh.



Christine Coming Home

clock January 2, 2012 00:03 by author Administrator |

When I rang the hospital to see about taking Christine some things, they said she had already borrowed a toothbrush and toothpaste and that I should bring them in at the beginning of visiting at 3pm. When I got there, she immediately changed into the pyjamas I'd brought and brushed her hair. Next, Matthew and Melissa turned up at the same time! Then half an hour before the end of visiting, Rodney and Wendy arrived! Christine looked well surprised and pleased to see Matthew, Melissa, Rodney and Wendy visiting her. Speaking to the sister, she is down for going home tomorrow for recuperating at home for a week or so. They will provide a sick note for me to take to the headmistress at her school.

I'll be extremely happy to have her home!



Christine's operation went well

clock December 31, 2011 23:42 by author Administrator |

Christine is in Ward 35 of St James Cook hospital. She is much more sensible than during my earlier visit. She had thought she was in a dream and dying. She still has the occasional panic which I'm putting down to the anaesthetic. She currently has two little pipes up her nose for oxygen, not the full mask she had in ICU. I only got about 15 minutes with her as I fell asleep and woke at 7:30pm only to find when I rang that visiting was 6-8! Afternoon visiting is 3-5pm. I will try to drop her some things off in the morning if the nursing staff will let me.



Christine's had an operation

clock December 31, 2011 16:07 by author Administrator |

Christine was transferred to James Cook when the ENT specialists found she has a polyp in her trachea. She has now had an op to remove the polyp and it has gone well. The tube is out of her throat, though she has an oxygen mask on for the next 12 hours. She has come round disoriented and confused as to where she is. At first she was agitated and pulling lines out etc., but they've calmed her down (elephant tranquilliser I think) and I was able to see her and talk to her. She's not quite normal yet. She told me she's going to die. I tried to persuade her otherwise. They've now taken out the line from her right arm and the central line, leaving just one in her right arm. They have found her a bed and are now arranging her transfer. I will go back and visit her on the ward during late visiting tonight.



Christine Update

clock December 30, 2011 16:53 by author Administrator |

The ENT specialists from James Cook are hopefully coming over to North Tees after 4 tonight, bringing their scope (camera) to look down her trachea. They have also reserved a theatre as they may operate while they're there. I'm to ring before going tonight in case she's in theatre. Also her nurse, Sarah will ring me when she has definite knowledge of an operation. She has a central line in and tubes down her throat and into her tummy so they can feed her. Wires and monitors everywhere and five or six infusions going! They did a chest X-Ray while i was there to check the central line is in OK. I've not seen her awake yet, though Sarah tells me she was awake with the tube in and smiling this morning.
