Thought I was getting over my cough, but it seemed to be getting worse again over the weekend and last night.

Got some antibiotics and steroids from my GP.

Every time someone mentions Croissant (for cross-posting) I hear big kid’s Mum telling him, “You can’t have croissants for breakfast every morning!”

After last week’s early mince pie tasting, I’m road-testing an approximation of xmas dinner.

What’s missing?

I wrote 300 pages of notes and reflections in my personal and work journals in 90 days.

Four year old every few seconds: “WHAT. THE. HEEE-EEEELLLLLL???!!!”

Not the most attractive presentation, but it’s all about the taste sensation.

Two shop bought mince pies on a plate after being warmed in the oven, decapitated and topped with cheese, lids back on again. All slightly dilapidated.

Finally feel like I’m getting my breath back after four days of having trouble breathing in, wheezing and feeling like I’m emphyseming.

Coughing like a bastard this morning.

Probably shouldn’t have smoked those twenty Roosters my Dad brought back from Kenya thirty years ago.

I vote for David Coote to replace Gary Lineker.
