Out Of Action
Isn’t life a ‘B’.
Good weather arrived Thursday and by Friday I’m rendered Hors deCombat by an irregularly occurring problem with an old wound. From many years of experience I know to seek immediate help from a medic. Trouble is, I then have to imbibe a cocktail of two different types of antibiotic, plus non-steroidal anti-inflamatories(NSAI’S) and painkillers too. Lovely. Just about scrambles what brains I have left and makes me very miserable. That misery is topped-up by the excellent weather over the weekend and running through to the present.
So, not only am I doped up to the eyeballs but I’m well p****d off by the weather
HOWEVER…..As I sit trying to make some sense of this post I can see a tall flowering cherry in full bloom (some of the cherry blossom is even falling) and sitting in its top-most branch is a sleek male Blackbird singing his heart out. The sound has an almost crystal ring of clarity and I know this, more often than not, presages a storm. The moments-ago brilliant sky has also turned a slightly murky grey. Should I gloat? No not really but in my present frame of mind I really do find it hard not too. YEAH, I’ll have a gloat - just a small one eh?
Ok, gloating over for now.
I have spent some fruitful time reasing ‘M & G Go For A Walk’ gayleybird.blogspot.com and find it both informative and funny. Best of luck to them both.
Time for another cocktail……………………..Hmmmmmmmmmmm Nice! ![]()
