Thunder skies?

OK, my week of skies has been a bit interrupted as I can't actually see the sky from my overnight accommodation.

The gall bladder is out and I am more or less back in the land of the living. Of course being the awkward soul that I am there were a couple of problems along the way - they couldn't get a cannula into a vein for the anaesthetic and after seven attempts decided to put a central line into my neck. This bruise on my arm is only one of many but I thought it was quite an interesting colour.
