I'm still feeling the affects of the antibiotics, so not really up to writing about anything I'm afraid.

It was not a good day as my temperature wavered between 38°C and 39°C. I was pretty much out of it for most of the day.
The reason I've been told is down to very strong antibiotics.

Ships today:
This is the French Container Ship "CMA CGM Trocadero" which up until yesterday afternoon was in Southampton Docks. Here it is approaching La Havre. More on this vessel here
Latest
Latest news is that I will be returning to Dorchester Hospital and not Weymouth as it's too small.
And the transfer will be in the next 2 to 3 days.
Well after a lovely sunrise, the weather deteriated rapidly, with heavy grey skies overhead.
Other than the norm, a Magpie was the only addition to today's birds seen.
Ships today:
Today there were two new ships in the docks just south of the hospital. This is is the........
In fact there weren't two new ships, but three. This is the Liberian Container Ship "One Intelligence"........
.....and quite how I missed it this morning is quite bizarre considering how pink it is. More on this vessel here

At long last blue skies. It's been miserable weather for the past 3 weeks, really cloudy and overcast, so today's sunny weather was really welcome.
New bird on the block was a Sparrowhawk skimming over the hospital buildings around late morning.
Nothing much else unfortunately with just a few Carrion Crows, Jackdaws, Herring Gulls, a Pied Wagtail and feral pigeons.
Ships Today
The only Ship remaining in the docks (visible from my ward) is the French Container Ship "CMA CGM Trocadero". More on this vessel here
This screenshot shows you where the ships are, in relationship to the hospital.
Update
I've just had a conversation with one of the registered nurses this afternoon, and they have decided to withdraw two non-essential meds. 17 pills in the morning is a bit much!!!
I also found out that I'm on one of the strongest antibiotics you can have, which would account for the nausea and the deteriation of my eyesight, which has got worse over the past week or so.
As for my move. I will be transferred to Weymouth when a bed becomes available there.
My duration at Weymouth will be 5 weeks if I move there on Monday. In other words, I have 5 weeks left on my antibiotics from today wherever I am.

Well I was hoping that overnight I would have been able to photograph the last Supermoon of the year, called the Beaver Moon. So named because Beavers are apparently more active at this time of year as they prepare their lodges for this coming Winter.
More on this Beaver Moon here.
Unfortunately the weather had other ideas and it remained cloudy all night long.
As a backup I took this photo of the nearly full moon at 3:15am, 15 Nov. It would have been at its fullest 24 hrs later.

Weather for most of the day was yet again very cloudy and overcast and nothing of note seen other than a few Herring Gulls, Carrion Crows and Jackdaws.

Well Queen Victoria wasn't in Southampton for very long and when I checked to see where she was, she was just outside Amsterdam.

Well I'm still here and feeling a lot better, as each day passes. My antibiotics (which I now take orally) have been increased slightly, due mainly to the fact that I'm no longer having them induced by drip.
This change has also resulted in my taste buds almost getting back to normal. Having everything I ate tasting of salt was wearing a bit thin.

With low grey clouds this morning, it was difficult to spot any bird movement and the best I could do was Carrion Crow, Herring Gull, Jackdaw and Pied Wagtail.
Late morning and the sun finally broke through the clouds. And as it did so, so a Red Admiral and a presumed Buff-tailed Bumblebee were both seen outside the ward window soaking up the sun's rays.
In the dockyard two new ships arrived in the early hours of this morning. They were:
.........the Passenger Ship, Queen Victoria flying......
.....the flag of Bermuda. And.....
........the French.....
.......Container Ship CMA CGM Trocadero
Aircraft today
This is the British Airways Airbus A320-232 Registration G-MIDO.............
........on it's way from London to Porto . More on this aircraft here.

It was very overcast today, and in the swirling low clouds this morning both the Queen Mary 2 and Hamburg Express made their way out of the Solent, to their next destinations.
Empty cranes as the Container Ship "Hamburg Express" makes its way to Singapore

On the bird front, just the "normal" birds seen with Herring Gulls, Carrion Crows, Jackdaws, 2 Pied Wagtails, Woodpigeon and feral pigeons.
Update
Happy Days. Well it appears that my left lung is draining pretty well on its own, meaning that the keyhole surgery planned for this afternoon, to remove the excess fluid was called off.
It does mean however that I have to put in a bit more effort myself, with more walking, and breathing more efficiently. The latter by really getting the oxygen into my lungs with deep breathing. Not an easy task when you're rib cage is still sore from the op.
