With barely a peep here for a month now, I thought I should pop my virtual head over the virtual parapet and say AAAHHCHOOPLABURGH. Falling Sky's not been left in the lurch or anything, it's just that September was a particularly stuffed month, including but not limited to an absolute lorryload of preparation for a climate change/agriculture job interview (which I didn't get), looking after a poorly missus (who, just as she was getting better, had a disagreeable encounter with the Magimix) and then getting all snotted up myself, starting at precisely 8pm last Sunday. Never has a cold started so suddenly - one minute I was tip-top, the next I was bunged-up beyond all description. Who knew colds could be so efficient? It almost took away from the dizzying pleasure of watching a large green New Zealand parrot joyfully hump Mark Carwardine's head.
Thankfully this little rhinovirus hasn't moved into flu territory (I'll be getting the vaccine for that next week, prime blog fodder if ever there was) but even so it's something a wheezy old todger like myself has to watch out for since it can trigger off an asthma attack - nuts to that - or lead the way for something altogether more grim, such as A MAN EATING SHARK. Still, it's bloody annoying, since I'm spending all this time at home yet with no energy to actually watch something, read something, write something beyond a Facebook status. If it wasn't for catching up on In Our Time and This American Life podcasts over the last few days I'd have gone knee-gnawingly barmy. Feeling a bit better today but still pretty listless, snuffly and congested in the frontal noggin, at least I can now go beyond a sentence or two and type full - gasp! - paragraphs. Progress... but even as I type that I feel my eyelids get heavy and reckon I should go and have a little lie down. Dearie me! The sooner this goes, the sooner I can see Up, catch up on a whole wodge of emails and letters and generally blow the dust off this here site. Until then, ever wondered what a sneeze looks like in slow-motion? Wonder no more!
