I have some form of lurgy. Mostly just a cough and sniffles if I remain in one place. Loud noise or movement causes it to shift into this kind of waves of dizziness/nausea hybrid, mixed with a little bit of hardfloor Industrial Techno being mixed on the backs of my eyes by huge Germans with power tools and a reason to be angry...
I was off sick yesterday and slept till noon, which seemed to help, so we went foraging* for nuts** and berries*** today as we have actually used up everything except a tin of beans, a packet of crisps and some falafel mix. While I am quite capable of whipping up a decent meal from almost anything (like on Ready, Steady, Cook!), I felt that would even stretch my powers, so off to Poveysons we went (as we're now too poor to shop at Tesco - how the mighty have fallen). Luckily, I had the trolley and so remained upright all the way round the store. I even managed a lucid conversation with a crazy old lady about how there were still gentlemen left in the world. Now I am tripping my nuts off on my own brain chemistry though. Wheee!
I have delicious mead flavoured hot tea beverage though, so all is well. My love dozes on the sofa after being viciously assaulted by the car and chased round the shops by baby goods designed to make her broody...
