I pretend that people are following me and take evasive action...looking in reflections of shop window, noticing key identifers, such as hair styles and tattoos, making a sudden 180 degree turn in the street...but you take the cake, you are doing the stalking! (Funny is it only us Aussies who are picking up on this foible?)I had best beware if I visit your part of the country! <br /><br />Reading between the lines, I reckon the Chutney People are 'born agains.'<br /><br />Have you had your tonsils out? My daughter suffered for years, massive tonsils, bad throat infections, pneumonia, asthma, hospital stays at least once a year....she had her tonsils out and ALL of that disappeared. I mean all!

Last week, a sense of humour was more important than painkillers and tissues, especially when a sever case of cabin fever descended on myself and Rob.<br /><br />Lakota - quite the multi-tasker aren't you? I do console myself with the fact December may now be an illness-free month. And with the fact I'm not dying of a terminal disease!<br /><br />Jem - "there's a lot of it about" would you too be rich if you had a quid every time you heard that? Glad to hear you're better, shame you can't have another week off to re-charge the batteries after flu isn't it?<br /><br />Little Nell - I attemped to gargle last week, but my throat wasn't up to the task. Maybe I need to just swallow some whiskey instead?<br /><br />La Dama - thank-you for your wonderfully complimentary comments! I hope your cough completely disappears, a raspy voice can be quite alluring, but a cough never is! <br /><br />Nelly - thanks for the get-well wishes. I'm sure Shaky and Bertha went home and wrote a blog post about fine dining and dressing to kill (I mean steal).<br /><br />Kylie - thanks hun! I don't stalk these people - they follow me, I swear.<br /><br />Steerforth - this was not as bad as the Norovirus week back in 2009 (as you can well imagine.<br />A child-free luxury holiday? I dread to think what I'd end up doing with no kids or chores to distract me.<br /><br />John - thanks! I'm afraid I have been guilty of the purse in the bag stunt, and even worse - "oops, FORGOTTEN my purse" stunt.<br /><br />Comtesse - thanks! I bet you see no such gruesome bread snacks in France.<br /><br />Wendz - Sorry you felt my pain! Thanks for the compliment, which is returned to you. <br /><br />Blue Sky - I didn't want to start an anti-disability rights rant, but was tempted to when I saw the badge yesterday. There may be a reasonable explanation, but to me it smacked of abuse. <br /><br />Perlnumquist - Treforest has by no means 'gone up' in the world. Why is it nobody ever has fond memories of this particular neck of South Wales, I wonder. I'll forgive one smiley - don't do it again. Soup bubbling away as I type, just wish I could be bothered to make bread (it takes so long without a bread maker).<br /><br />Sarah - thanks! I only answered the door because it was the usual time my oldest boy's friends knock. I was so hoping they'd take my comment "I'm feeling awful" as their cue to leave.<br /><br />Curtise - I'm well on the road to recovery thanks.<br />Very amused by your diagnosis of Shaky! I reckon by Christmas that hamper will look more like a booby prize.<br /><br />Vix - you could be right about the no kids thing, but I've been struggling every winter since early childhood, not just my teens, as I wrote. Maybe I have SAD or something! I think your positive attitde, healthy diet and daily exercise count for a lot. I think a week staying with you would improve my general health 100%. <br />Signed copy? I'll dedicate the book to you.lucy joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863146546863419637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7316895433129716754.post-41409193097253269982011-11-14T13:53:11.726+00:002011-11-14T13:53:11.726+00:00You poor lamb!
