A like for the nurse, not the ailment. A zonal shift in the weather does that for me, and we're starting one now. Going from highs of 90F to highs of 64 F in the matter of a day or so, and staying there until it drops more.

Thanks xxx

Hope you can avoid the seasonal lurgies.

I thought I would take my bike out for a short ride as it is nice and sunny . It was a bit chilly but it was nice to get away from the rock pile I have been making in the bathroom.
I have been chiselling out a channel for some pipework.

I'm off out to post some letters soon.
Legal & General are getting a pizza leaflet, (that was shoved through my letterbox) and Sun Life are about to receive the local Conservative blurb in their unwanted, unrequested pre-paid envelopes that they send me, for some reason.

Well, amuses me, anyway....

Oh man, don't give me ideas for the pre-paid envelopes that I seem to keep getting from charities fishing for donations. I usually shove 'em straight in the recycling along with all the political leaflets,...

FYI, I do my share for charity, but that's done through volunteering and regular provisions of cat food that I acquire on YS.

this is illegal under German data protection (because different EU countries have different laws, who knew?) so I''m denied this pleasure.

On the other hand it is also illegal to photograph and store images of people's faces without permission in Germany so we're spared the evils of CCTV in town centres...

Owwwww, all my joints have seized up today. Moving around is challenging at best and rather painful at worst. At least I'm not the shivery and nauseous snot factory that I was yesterday.

On the flip side, it's nice and sunny and I have a lapful of tortoiseshell cat. Nurse Poppy is taking very good care of me.

. I've been having similar, 55 miles on the bike Monday, a stiff yoga class yesterday and I woke up this morning with a stiff aching back and sore hips, they've eased as the day has passed but I'm out on my bike tomorrow so I'm expecting similar Friday.

I wish my creakiness was down to exercise, but alas it's down to the lurgies...

Definitely: the perfect response.

As an aside the right wing nutjobs here spent a lot of time and energy trying to get people to boycott Doner Kebebs kebabs (see edit) and instead eat 'real German food'. Then someone pointed out that Doner Kebabs were invented in Berlin...

Edit: Sorry 'Kebabs' They'd have been 'Kebebs' if the were invented in Kensington.

I regularly go past a kebab shop that's called "The German Doner" and I've always wondered why it was called that. Now I know.

 

[Reynard]

I have a pair of happy kitties.

The reason?

I've got the fire going.

 

[Slioch]

I'm going to be dragged kicking and screaming to watch the Downton Abbey film tomorrow evening.
Any tips for getting through it without resorting to self-harming to stay awake?

Hot on the heels of the news that clever researchers have found that bacon isn't going to strike you down with cancer or heart disease...…..I'm celebrating by cooking three thick dry-cure rashers....
