Well, it's a beautiful day on the holiday island of Jersey. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, there is not a cloud in the sky...

Alas, for the first 5 minutes of the day I didn't notice. Why?, I hear you ask. Well, because today I had my first ever black-out. Yep - without warning I just completely passed out and regained consciousness to find myself, somewhat confused and bewildered, lying on the bathroom floor. It didn't help matters that I did exactly the same thing about 20 minutes later - I got out of the shower, wandered in to the bedroom and blacked out again.

So, today has been a day of visiting the doctor and having blood tests. The results aren't due back until Friday and in the meantime I am not allowed to:-

-drive a car
-use a fork lift (ummm, i'm a stockbroker!)
-fly
-shoot a gun
-drink alcohol
-drink coffee
-lift heavy goods (as if!!)
-have any fun whatsoever

I like to think it is because I have such a large willy that it takes at least a pint of blood for me to get...ummm...'excited' and thus the lack of blood to my brain causes me to pass out. My doctor said that was highly unlikely and I should add that to the list of things I am not allowed to do for a week

I am likely to be a very grumpy, scratchy person for the next few days and thought I would forewarn you. My evil Gemini twin takes over when I haven't had my quota of caffeine during the day
