Had several worrying coughing fits over the weekend, and yesterday evening especially. Chest felt very tight and like I needed to cough to clear it. But no amount of exhausting coughing worked. Inhaler seemed to make it all worse initially. Salbutamol makes me very jittery, too. All seems to have calmed down this morning, thankfully.

British holiday souvenir cough turned into another COPD exacerbation. Finally managed to see my GP this evening who took half an hour to examine me before explaining that he was going to prescribe the exact same medications I suggested in the econsult appointment request form two days ago.

Mistake from Bruno playing out of position and out of harm’s way in central midfield, giving the ball away for a corner, which leads to a mistake from the impeded goalkeeper and defenders. 1-0 Arsenal. New signing Sesko on the bench.

Computer says, “No.”

I have been putting off doing some really important work for what feels like weeks, until it became both important and urgent. That always gets me going. (Probably only a couple of weeks in reality, one of which was a holiday). I completed it today and absolutely killed it. Hopefully. I won’t find out for another month.

I feel like I may be stuck in some kind of recursive loop! Help! @manton

Back to work today with a cough and a cold I brought home from our wet and windy holiday by the North Sea. I did enjoy the one fine morning we had on the beach.
