PLAGUE AND DAMNATION
Well, unfortunately although yesterday went really well my 'mild' head cold has laid me out. I'm dosing up on probiotic and other meds to try and shift it by tomorrow. I think it was standing in the cold yesterday waiting for my bus. Ah well, it all balances out. The rough weather meant not too many people turned up for the book release and the ravening horde was really only the usual afternoon rush of Christmas shoppers. So a not-so-hellish day for me yesterday and a not so grand one for me today. Karma and all that.
Certainly I'm better than i was at this time last year, I think I managed to be Ill through christmas and into the new year. Touch wood i don't have swollen glands and joint pain so this is just a bout of me being a wuss about my sinuses and I'll be ready to rock tomorrow and try to learn some cool stuff from Sensei Ruddock.
I called one of my teammates yesterday, Trooper1975, and I'm glad his mob are doing ok. They live in the Cheshire area where this measles epidemic is going on, so my thoughts go to them and all the other families in that area. its kind of frightening, icy weather and a measles epidemic are two things that light up the board on the 'worst case combination' monitor so I'll be keeping an eye on things and praying my paranoia is just that. The mass vaccinations being rolled out by the NHS prove that the specter of British Health-care can still be dragged out of its golden chains to do some good though, and its reminded me that just occasionally i can be proud of something my country does.
No doubt the picture of me wielding what appears to be a firearm AND a bottle of liquor, however satirical, has piqued the interest of at least some robot at the home office, for reference, its an RIF (Replica Imitation Firearm), and I am a member of the UKARA (United Kingdom Airsoft Retailers Association), but since you're looking;
Dear government,
Don't bugger things up.
Thank you.
