BBC Radio Thing
I was on t' radio yesterday afternoon, talking about blogging about the miscarriage. I now have a permanent link to that interview, for those who want to listen again. It's here.
I'm just back from the hospital and am off my head on a cocktail of hospital-prescribed painkillers, so will not attempt to write anything in detail just now.
It hasn't worked yet - no bleeding today, just lots of contractions. Still getting the latter, so apparently it's likely to happen at some point over the weekend, during which I will also be spending some time with my son, then nipping over to Sheffield for a Seasick Steve gig, then spending the night, then bombing over to Crosby to see the Gormley sculptures with Looby. May sound a bit mad, but I figure that if I'm going to be in pain I may as well be doing nice stuff at the same time. And anyway, this weekend's entertainments were planned weeks ago.
So, next time you heart from me may well be Monday... either that or you'll get drunken / painkiller-induced ramblings at odd points throughout the weekend. Who knows? All part of life's adventure, innit...

Clare, I'll be thinking of you. It sounds strange as I'm new to your blog, but your eloquent and honest posts have really touched me. Best of luck and have a great time at the gig.
I just listened to your bbc interview, and the frank and honest way you spoke speaks volumes about your courage. Good luck and happy thoughts for you.
Just popped in to send good thoughts and I find you have a better weekend planned than I do!
Make the most of the pharmaceuticals, your bravery medal is deserved for mental/emotional fortitude, not for physical agonies.
Good to hear that you now have a permanent link to that excellent program. It would have been very sad to lose it after 24 hours.
You do have a busy weekend to come. Hope it all goes well, and tell us all about it on Monday. I also hope the pain will be bearable. *hugs* and more *hugs*.
I loved hearing you on the radio - very together and impressive if I may say so. Now I hope this isn't a wrong thing to say, but I thought you sounded a bit like Victoria Wood. In a good way. I think you should have a radio show.
Anyway, like the others, I'm thinking of you, and I feel the richer for reading your blog.
I love Victoria Wood! That's a compliment ain my book. I'd also love to have a radio show but, well, you know, only so many hours in the day.
It does tickle me to think my weekend looks so exciting. And hopefully it will be!
Thank you everyone, for all your words and thoughts. You all rock. xxx
