Having been 'poorly' since Thursday before last, I now seem to be free of sore throat and merely have remnants of cough and cold. Having now used up my year's leave I returned to the part-time night job last night a bit concerned about my staying awake ability, but it went really well despite the full-strength cough mixture.

My lover seems to have had a more extreme version of what I had but as he had it first he is now over it, but an arthritic condition has kicked in rather severely, so we're a pair of old crocks at the moment!

Despite this, he kindly did some housework for me while I dozed, which was wonderful. We then went to our favourite greasy spoon - The wonderful 1927 in Canton (Cardiff CFC won something significant that year,[the FA?] hence the name)I'm sure bacon, egg and chips is not recommended convalescence eating, but it was wonderful as usual.

We then had fight with computer and we won without me having to threaten it with a stick.
I had been managing on 128RAM which I've now quadrupled and the b*gger was still crawling. I now know how to disable the process that's slurping my memory - if only it would work for me as well as for the computer! And of course if that becomes ineffective there's always a big stick... - for computer, not me, despite my inadequate human memory!
