Having battled my way through a particularly nasty bout of man flu a week or so ago, I felt that I was on the road to recovery apart from some lingering unpleasantness around the sinuses. But the day after my road trip with Kevin, I started to go downhill again and have spent the past three days nursing the most spectacular inflamed throat accompanied by a high fever.
Having previously stubbornly refused any medical intervention, I have finally relented and am now consuming large white pills which proclaim themselves to be antibiotics, and they do seem to be working; but getting back to full speed is not doubt going to take a few days.
The illness/recovery cycle certainly lengthens as one gets older; presumably in preparation for the inevitable event which starts with illness and never cycles to recovery. It’s a damn nuisance and I dread to think how much worse it would get should I ever allow myself to have a mid-life crisis.
Al this is a sort of an apology for not posting anything recently. Normal abnormal service will be resumed as soon as possible. In the meantime, I can’t really recommend reading a shameless re-hash of a couple of earlier posts to generate the shit lens shootout, or the cutting edge journalism that isn’t contained in a screen protector review.

2013-03-04| The Heavyweight saysI’ve always wondered why some people get them and others don’t. Maybe we’re just not mature enough and we’ll get it when we’re older ;-)
2013-03-04| Jock says@Genuinej … you beat me to it .. Spike left the door wide open on that one for sure.
I also know he hates whisky but a hot toddy is the best remedy for man flu (imho) … and many men in their ´mid life crisis´ discover the Lagavullin !!
2013-03-04| Grant saysAh Jock, the benefits of the holy toddy, almost worth ailing for! I think my mid-life crisis has been going on for years, ’tho it hasn’t extended to a large angry motorcycle yet, so it may not be the real thing… Do get well soon old chap, keep taking the pills & ointment!
