Life

I went to see the GP with a persistent headache and nausea on Monday. She as good as told me to pull myself together.

I felt vindicated by Tuesday afternoon when I’d sweat several buckets and had a fever of 40°.

Since then I’ve felt much better mentally, but feel a lot like my blood supply has been swapped out for battery acid.

Another trip to the out of hours GP on Sunday bore no fruit. I really hope this one isn’t going to run and run. On the plus side all my musculoskeletal complaints are getting a solid rest – I can barely walk 50 yards without feeling like I’m going to pass out; running is not on the cards.

Αα got a serious cold which scuppered any possibility of us going to Scotland. In the end it transpired that Aila and Johnny both got sick and I’m at least glad we didn’t have to worry that we were responsible. Our germs certainly wouldn’t have been welcome. Σσ is obviously upset that she’s not been able to see them before the transplant. I guess there’s maybe still a chance she could make it up next week.

Reading

• Matter by Iain M. Banks – I enjoyed the characters and the worlds, but felt like the plot was a bit of a damp squib in the end (I was particularly frustrated by the fact the prologue seemed to promise a different book – but maybe/probably I missed something).
