Sorry about the interruption to service, dear reader (yes, I know you're out there!) I was switten - yes, smitten - by a severe respatory infection around the ten days ago and it's only really over the last couple of days that I can honestly say that I'm back to full, rude health again. (Why is health 'rude', incidentally?)
Lashing with sweat one minute, freezing cold and shivering the next (and sometimes both at the same time, honestly!) it wasn't a lot of fun.
To show you just how serious it all was, I even called off two social engagements last weekend. As one who would never in normal circumstances miss even the opening of an envelope (or so my wife reckons) that just about says it all.
I blame bloody Jura and those billions of midgies (or midgets as they were called by a Dutch contributor on Radio Scotland's Out of Doors thsi morning!) Either Jura or Drylaw's first swine 'flu case - but I did not develop the tell-tale snout or curly wee tail so I don't think it was that ...
Anyway whatever it was it has gone, I hope, and normal blogging will resume forthwith. And just to let you see that I have lost none of my legendary sense of humour I attach a cartoon I received from my old pal George 'The Grey Panther' Henderson of Scottish Pensioners Association fame ... nice one, Panther!
Be back soon
