I was out at the doctors yesterday (the Citalopram is to go down to 1 x 10mg per night, instead of 20mg), but into the evening, I was feeling worse than ever. Not the moods, but the exhaustion. Not just from the walk, but tired generally, and getting worse into the evening. Add to that, feeling more and more sore – at one point, every part of my body except the chest was sore!

Today, I am feeling a bit better. Haven’t yet changed my meds (as I’ve got a script, but the chemist was closed) so still on the old dosage for now.

As for the increase to 2 x 10mg Amitriptyline at night – first next day I had a headache, next two days I was tired, but I think I am getting used to it.

It’s been a quiet day, but busy. In the morning, I noticed one of my domain names had gone awol… but it was quickly resolved in around half an hour… which is good. I was thinking of all the recoding I’d have had to do…

… We are meeting an acquaintance of C’s either tonight or tomorrow, which should be good.

From The Ticket Collector comes this rather interesting story... who remembers the time when his wife got pulled up on Thameslink (now First Capital Connect) for not having any money to buy a ticket?

Tony Blair caught without a ticket, and then allowed to travel for free!

Former prime minister Tony Blair was left red-faced when he was caught travelling on a Heathrow Express train on Wednesday without a ticket and said he had no cash to pay the fare.
Blair, who has earned around 500,000 pounds being a speaker at various events since leaving office in June, was confronted by a ticket inspector as he travelled to Heathrow Airport to catch a flight to the United States on Monday.

He claimed he had no cash for the £24.50 pounds fare because money an aide had given him was no longer in his pocket.
Blairs bodyguard offered to pay the ticket, but the inspector said he could travel for free.

Blair’s spokesman was unavailable for comment.

Driver of sightseeing bus in road rage fight

This is the moment a bus driver exploded with road rage and violently assaulted a motorist while passengers looked on in horror.

It happened in heavy traffic on the Embankment next to Hungerford Bridge in front of dozens of people leaving Embankment Tube station yesterday afternoon.
he tour-bus driver was seen grappling, swinging punches and at one point appearing to try to smash the man's head into a railing. Witnesses told how the driver of the Original London Sightseeing Tour bus got out of his cab to confront a white van driver after an angry and expletive-filled exchange in front of passengers and pedestrians.
One onlooker said: "It was over nothing really. I think the white van cut in front of the bus too soon for his liking. There seemed to be a lot of swearing and the bus driver banging on his windscreen.
"The white van driver got out and went up to the cab. He had his mobile phone and was going to take a picture-Then the bus driver got out and just went crazy. He was definitely the one throwing the punches. He chased the van driver under the bridge and he dropped his phone at one point. I couldn't believe it. There were three tourists sitting on the bus just looking on confused."
According to witnesses, the trouble had started to calm down but reignited after the van driver retrieved his phone and threatened to call the police.
The bus driver - who by then was back in his vehicle - appeared to become enraged again, got out and had a further stand-off with the man by the railings outside Embankment Tube station.
The onlooker said: "It was bumper to bumper traffic in heavy rain and I think it all got to the bus driver. He just snapped. The white van driver looked frightened. He tried to run away, but the bus driver chased him.
"At one point another sightseeing bus pulled up alongside and the driver shouted through his window. He shouted out for them to stop but didn't get out."
Met Police spokeswoman said: "We were called at around 2.40pm to reports a man had allegedly been assaulted." Arriva, the parent company of The Original London Sightseeing Tour, today launched an investigation.
The Arriva spokesman said: "We have not had a complaint from any member of the public or been notified about this by any of our staff, but we take this matter very seriously. We will investigate this fully."

There a selection of pics on the web, but I liked this one... if only to think of what the tourists will be thinking...
