Foxy's Xmas..


I'm Back Home but where have I been ...


Well 0n the 24th December I decided to go out for a Haircut...


Nice cut at Jazz Lordship Lane..


Time for some last minute Xmas Shopping.

Cross the road to the Co-op.. No Baskets.. Off to M&S


Where outside I suddenly found myself 'On The Deck'

I had fallen cracked my head on the road and not being able to get up... move with a broken right hip.


The staff at M&S were marveloous and their First Aid Team attended to me.

They called emergency services.

There was The Fox lying onthe floor , head in the road inches from Passing traffic /Buses


A Passing Ambulance stopped to attend to me after being flagged down by a large crowd that had gathered.

I wastaken to King's where I was admitted.


I spent a few nights 24-27th Decmber where I was given Doses of Morphine.

I felt Dreadful and was Hallucinating Insects hanging from curtain rails and walls..Millions of them

and faces from TV gathing around me.

Finally at the window There was a group of Women (nurses)carrying a wreath and a large Cross.

At this stage I was Covid Positive and was convinced the Angels were there to take me away,


I really thought I was going to die.


I had my hip op the 27th.


I am mixed up with the timings of all events..


But my op had gone well.


Kings then decided to stop my Paracetamol Pain relief for Codeine..

As a result I become Constipated.. I was still eating (Well) but nothing was coming out,

They refused to give me Paracetamol that was leading me on the route to recovery.


They were giving me Laxatives and Codiene ,.... they do not work together.


I fefused more Codiene and was left in Agony


But Kings discharged me 4th Jan with eight different drug to take at different times of the day. I have created a spread sheet ,


I reverted to Paracetamol my choice .. vertually pain free and have now been to the toilet ( 1 Day)

Oh Foxy ,you poor thing! Constipation is the pits and such a close bedfellow with operations .As if you don't feel bad enough.


Nothing compared to the morphine induced hallucinations - I was convinced I was back in the 1950s and those wall mounted anglepoise type lights morphed (see what I did there ? ) into giant crickets .



Let me know if you need a hand with anything .We have met ,I got some proving baskets for sour dough .

For Fox Sake!!!...that's a terrible story Foxy. I hope you're on the mend and the parecetamol is working its magic (at both ends)


As an aside....I actually heard about your fall on Xmas eve (not knowing at teh time it was DulwichFox of EDF fame), as Mrs Cat and the mini-cats were amongst that large crowd that had gathered outside M&S. I did berate her when she finally got home, as to why it took so long to bring my percy pigs back home.....But perhaps I was touch hasty:)

Sorry to hear that. It is not how anyone wants to spend their xmas day, but glad you are home and feeling a bit better.


Every time I've had any sort of spell in hospital, I've ended up completely "bunged up" in that region. Anesthesia and painkillers can cause it.. in fact codeine is renowned for it (and not even that effective unless combined with other painkillers), so seems like an odd choice. Less fluids and physical movement probably play a part too.

I'm getting there thank you Sue.

Still troubled by Serious Constipation.

None of the Meds supplied working.


Now trying alternative over the counter remidies.


I have daily Home Help. Not really much for them to do.


Also Having Physio / Exercises couple of times a week.


I have an old friend of mine doing some shopping.


I'm on my feet walking without Frame or Crutches

Can manage stairs ok.


No pain from Hip. just back pain from Constipaion.


Feel better mentally now out of Hospital.


Worried about going out as could be Wet or Icy..


I am getting stronger each day.


Thank you for your concern.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
