    Hey and I'm feebly up - but up.

    I have had the flu it would seem that's quite nasty. I'm not proper fixed but very happy to today at least be upright for some of the day. All work has been cancelled.

    Interview on Wed just working out how fit I am to travel and if I'd be compus mentus (ish) by then. Talked to the dr who reckons by tomorrow I'm not contagious anymore. (EH I took the simplest flying/train route, given the gales and my lurgy, seems that was the wisest choice).

    Thanks for all those good wishes. You're all proper good sorts.

    You'll be releaved to hear there have been no spends either. Unless Mr RG has been putting all that medicine on my card........

    :)

    Aw thanks Elidee and Beanie (I will give you a wave from across the county when I'm briefly there) - I have to vamoose off here tomorrow to make it in time............I am staying with a chum either side of interview as can't make it in one day due to location/time. But, we're leaving the proper decision off until tomorrow am, if I''m OK I'll go, if not I'll phone and ask to postpone, its all we can do.

    Insert scared face.

    Suit is all sorted (thanks to RG) and just looking over some reading and find some heels - must pack bag later. (that reads, must delegate someone to help me pack a bag later)

    Had a really easy day and a nice chat via fb about methane/global warming and rice v. cows.............surprisingly the rice didn't win. And sustainable fish etc.

    I'm not very 'up' on carbon kg equivs as we deal in different stuff at work. But, I'm learning..........she's a good climate change scientist sort,oddly enough we met on my gardening class :)

    Lots to think about but a wee relaxy-voo the noo I think is required.

    Hope you're all well.
