Blood Oxygen...

Ewan's been a bit under the weather the last couple of days and been getting quite upset when his ear flares up when the 'medicine kicks out'. His rather logical description of the opposite of the medicine kicking in. In one of his worse spates this afternoon, we decided to NHS24 him and get him an appointment. Better now and get him on the road to recovery than repeating Christmas 2007

He was brilliant. He answered all the questions the nurse asked him, let her look in his ears and mouth and even let her give him his first dose of antibiotics. He asked if it was the banana one as that's his favourite.

In other more geeky news, someone slightly dropped the gauntlet on trying to write the 12 Days of Christmas in Java code. I'm a bit sketchy on Java code but I went for it in Visual Basic...
