Neck out, feeding the dog was a disaster. Ah well, buffet style is all the rage right now.

Home sick still, taking advantage of the state of my throat to hum old Sinatra favourites.

Lemons, ginger and honey.
Not so great; wealthy aristocrats prove points of 'honor' by hiring swordsmen from the lower class for death matches.
Half the story about Richard St. Vier the greatest swordsman of them all, half the story of Lord Michael Godwin's introduction to politics, half the story of Alec, the mysterious and prickly man Richard loves and half the story of the Lady who manipulates them all. Noticed it doesn't add up to one? Good. Too many storylines and not enough tying in.
I want this flu to be over. I want my neck back, I want some energy and the ability to breathe freely.

Cramps and fever, I sincerely hope this is a 24 hour thingy.
I have a cold; I blame other people with colds.
Am going to stay home and practice self defence until it stops.

Self defence |
My apologies to anyone I've breathed near recently.
It's boring and entirely bearable and the whole getting_better_in_a_matter_of_days_ness is divine.
Have made one trip out of bed to acquire grapes and more tissues, watched War of the Worlds which was terrible, Beauty and the Beast which was cute, re-read Beauty and the Beast by Robin McKinley and watched my ceiling / curtains / dogs / sheets / toes which are intermittently entertaining.

Saturday
Beach via bakery, early morning bakeries are things of great joy. Fresh warm cinnamon brioche, chocolate croissants and danishes, birthday breakfast for T1 who needs love and pastries - don't we all?
Got into a discussion about the groin/beach thingy with an old guy whose been walking his labrador at South beach for over 10 years. The erosion is getting pretty bad now and the council has had to grade the cliff face to stop it collapsing on some poor dog walker
Saw a dolphin cruising up the beach in the shallows. Dip, breath, swoooosh.
New furniture arrived! Now have dining sized table and chest of drawers - shall fondle them when no-one is looking - and even better: can now crack the 4000 piece jigsaw puzzle.
T2's birthday poetry night much fun - hadn't considered implications of high density of musicians - some of the scarier poems were promptly set to music and performed. Wish I had been able to record some of the semi-serious singing - will also never forget David's gregorian chant.
Sunday
Sick. Coughing and sneezing and yucky yucky feelings. Wahhhhh. Jigsaw my only consolation. Watched The City of Lost Children - seems TV copes very well with dark green movies. Such a beautiful film, all dark and mysterious and twisted. Turns out can just fit all three flatmates and woofer on couch... perfect.
Monday
Sick. Nice doctor gave me a 4 day medical certificate - don't need 4 days but high comfort factor. Also prodded me *ouch* and informed me I have 'tennis elbow'. Me, shameless avoider of balls games. Well, games that involve humans *sigh* Amused self by sleeping, reading, sorting puzzle pieces and watching woofer battle teddybear - apparently best position for battle is lying on back, holding bear in front paws and biting dangly bits.
