O me miserum.

Just welcoming an  old 'friend' back. Pleurisy.  Actually returned on Saturday, but I didnt recognise it, though I knew I was not 'right'.  Could it be an allergy to grandchildren?  Last time Pleurisy came to visit was following a visit from the grandsons.  Small children do harbour germs do they not.  One reason why I packed in volunteering in schools was on Doctors Orders after a run of chest infections.  But you can't exactly pack in grandchildren can you?  Should I wear a mask?  Hmm.

Now I am stocked up on large yellow antibiotics, my bed close by, wine glass filled (it doesnt say anything about not drinking with these tablets, my gp knows me well.)  And I dont see much difference to the 'hot toddy' hes always telling me to have.

The weather isnt helping.  The wind finally dropped today after days and days of such rawness and wind speed, it nearly took the skin off you

 Though it doesnt bother some people.

Or beasts.

And some people take their camera into the car wash and use it.  What else is there to do?

O me miserum.
