I'm alive!
Copious amounts of phlegm and snot disgorged later and lemon-sip special brews, (with a drop of whisky when the missus wasn't looking), I had to rest a couple of weeks. My head was not clear physically or creatively to write much.
Thank you for messages. Yes I was sick. I previously went through four years of chemo for non-Hodgkins lymphoma and was only in remission from last year so I still get fairly vulnerable to flu's and Covid-like infections. With some long 13hr days driving my haulage truck in the cold, illness got the better of me.
Thankfully I am recovering now but my wife was sick too and she was actually more bunged up than I. So that was more stressful in terms of taking my free time.
Thankfully; health recovering, Maddie back on her feet in the kitchen, the HGV driving over for another month and my horse syndicates hurdlers getting their first run outs of the year; apart from squirrels in the loft, things are looking up. I feel much better and spring is in the air and my head is clearer.
Now, to up the Barrowmaze challenge since folk are advancing nicely.
I will be attending to the threads this week, starting tonight.
Thank you for your patience and I hope you guys all stay in the best of health too.
