Bob, Bob, Bobbing along
18 Hours Ago
I was still feeling rough, but a bright point in the day was a visit from Bob, as that gave me the excuse I had been looking for to open my bottle of 12yo Single Malt. 
He dropped off a new copy of "NCIS: LA", played with my new Netbook and left with a bag of ground  , a packet of biscuits and a seriously raised blood alcohol level. 
I watched "NCIS: LA" and gave up on "Species IV".  I'm listening to "Bruce Dickinson's Friday Rock Show" on 6Music instead - Tommy Vance he ain't, but then nowadays nobody is.

"Bowel stuff"
Yesterday
...to quote the advertisement. The second week on these antibiotics has really messed with my digestion. 
Not much else to report, really. When I'm not sitting on the toilet I'm huddled under a quilt in the living room, mostly.  I suspect it's my failure to properly digest my food that's leading to my inability to generate enough body heat. I'm wearing two fleeces, and I still catch myself shivering.   
I watched "Dexter", "NCIS", "House", "Naked News", "QI" and "Misfits". I'm about to watch "NCIS: LA" and then head for bed.   "Little Mosque on the Prairie" has made absolutely no download progress.  
Bob says he's coming round for a visit tomorrow lunch time.

Hibernation, continued
2 Days Ago
I got up, took antibiotics, had breakfast and then huddled down in the armchair under a quilt where I fell asleep for over two hours.  Then I got up, ate lunch, surfed the web for an hour, took antibiotics and... crawled back under the quilt and fell asleep for another hour.  I got up (again), had supper, took antibiotics, surfed a while, listened to "The Archers", took different antibiotics, crawled under the quilt and slept for another hour-and-a-half. 
After that, I watched "CSI: Miami" and "Never Mind the Buzzcocks".  My download backlog is building up - I'm *still* downloading "Dexter", along with "House", "NCIS", "NCIS: LA" and "Little Mosque on the Prairie".
I got in touch with Bisset, to see if I could arrange some more box-shifting sessions. I've accepted that my state of health is deteriorating, and I'll probably never finish any of my more ambitious projects or do any serious computer repair in the future. Anything I *do* decide to do would benefit from me having the space to move around, and I'm not really feeling up to doing a massive eBay offering, so much of my "spares stock" is on the way out.   Bisset says he'll get back to me on Monday after he knows next week's shifts.

More antibiotics.
3 Days Ago
It seems I have acquired some new "pets"... A colony of staphylococcus bacteria are nesting in my left foot. 
In order to evict them I have to undergo another week of two different high-strength antibiotics taken at awkward times through the day. 
Other than that, my foot looks like it's on the mend.   I have another review in a week. 
I watched "Saving Grace", "Ugly Betty", "Samantha Who?", "Film 09" and "The Graham Norton Show". I'm *still* downloading "Dexter". I recorded the first episode of "Paradox" to watch tomorrow.

Still feeling a bit rough.
4 Days Ago
I'm down to one antibiotic now, and that one runs out tomorrow. But I'm *so* tired.
I know, I've been a bit of a dozy git lately, but today was falling asleep as I sat here typing.
I've got to go for a wash before I go to bed now, as I have to be up early for another appointment and I don't think I will have the time or the inclination in the morning.
I watched quite a lot of "News 24", "The Gadget Show", "FlashForward" and "Sanctuary". I'm recording "Without a Trace" and "Saving Grace"  and downloading "Dexter".
