Ever noticed how when you are sick, everyone else is, too? You can't be sick alone. So you never get the sympathy you are due.
ReplyDeleteYeah, this week I've been hospital-level poorly, and everyone else I read has beaten me to blogging about it so I'd be seen to be "black catting" if I did it now.
It must have been the stinky Seaview air.
Get well soon TSB, I need my regular fix of cynicism.
Sorry to hear that you're even sicker than me. Get well soon, I don't have many viewers and need to keep them all.
DeleteSeaview dosn't really stink.
Oh no, hope you feel better soon.,

Thank you. I'm barely surviving. It's only the whisky that is keeping me going.
Deleteyour hair hurts? that sounds serious
Deletenursemyra: It's not as serious as it used to be seeing as I've lost most of my scalp follicles.
DeleteAll the best TSB.
ReplyDeleteIn the absence of a card I sent you a post.
Thank you TC. I've seen the post. Thanks for all the nice messages and lovely pictures.
DeleteLaphroig is the best, but I've just finished my last emergency reserve bottle, and I've had to go back to Dewars.
Well that doesn't seem right, does it?
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon.
Pearl
Thank you Pearl. No, it's not right. It should be Ringo who's sick, not me.
DeleteYour hair hurts? Get well soon. Damn, a weekend wasted in bed.
ReplyDeleteTracy.
Thanks Tracy. What makes it even less funny, is that I'm almost bald. It's the few remaining strands on top of my scalp which hurt, whenever I move my aching head on the pillow.
DeleteAwww, you are so lovable. : -) Sending an affectionate pat on that bald head of yours. Hopefully you're feeling slightly better today.
DeleteTracy.
Ps. just read the comment below about not needing a massage from any pretty ladies due to your jealous Beloved. Very funny but just to be sure, I said a PAT, not a massage. I too am somebody's jealous Beloved so I fully understand ;-) I always respect Wives.
DeleteTracy.
Thanks for the virtual pat Tracy, I ALWAYS respect wives. Ladies with an intimate knowledge of sharp knives and rolling pins are too dangerous not to be respected.
DeleteYuk - get better soon
ReplyDeleteThanks Furtheron.
DeleteUsed to happen to me like clockwork any time I had a few days off. Almost like my body said "Enjoy yourself? Oh you think so.......!"
ReplyDeleteGet well soon.
Thanks Alistair. It really annoys me. I rarely get sick enough to take time off work.
DeleteI'm going back to bed.
'Bye.
Whisky and sleep, TSB. Feel better soon. Sorry you're sick.
ReplyDeleteThanks Austan. Whisky and sleep is the perfect (for me) prescription. I wonder if I can get it on my health insurance.
DeleteMr Pompous did your job on Friday.
ReplyDeleteAs I passed his office he called out sternly,
"Richard, can I see you."
I've left out the question mark because it didn't sound like a question, but an order from someone far more important than one's self.
Turned out all he wanted was someone else to worry about what work Hobbit had or hadn't set.
Please come back soon!
I'm sorry if Pompous had a go at you. Hobbit sent me an email with a (sort of) lesson plan. I forwarded it to Pompous, but not until about 9:30, which was when I surfaced from the semi-coma I had been in for the last 14 hours.
DeleteSorry if you were inconvenienced.
Did you help him.
My standard resonse to any queries about "drama Lessons" is to say "Get the little buggers to pretend they're trees.
I should be back Monday.
Did everything go smoothly?
I am literally laughing out loud at telling the pupils to act like they're trees. When I read your blog I prefer to just smile because my family think I'm nuts laughing at a dead, inanimate computer screen. It's always the same: starts out as a smile, then turns into a rumble in my tummy and out comes the chuckle.
DeleteTracy.
Sometimes it's difficult to get the pupils to do anything else. Being a tree comes so naturaly to them.
DeletePoor you, and needing the weekend to continue the healing is a cruel trick by nature. That hair hurting thing - I know exactly what you mean, each follicle a super sensitive portal to increase the aching in your head.
ReplyDeleteWeekends are supposed to be for rest & relaxation, not lying (moaning in desperate anguish)in bed. Ah well, life's a bitch and then you die. Or you go back to teaching. Not quite sure what is worse.
DeleteThe hair is strange. I must admit to feeling this way before, but it was after my lovely daughter's wedding, and I know the cause was slightly excessive alcohol consumption.
It seems so unfair that I've hardly touched a drop.
Thanks for the sympathy.
I'm just going to run my beard trimmer over my scalp to reduce the follicle leaverage and see if it helps.
ooh horrid......go to bed....or drink vodka..... I'm trying both after my week.....feel better!!
ReplyDeleteThanks YaH. Vodka?
DeleteNever touch the stuff.
but wait.
You've given me an idea.
I quite often drink hot Ribena when I feel unwell. Maybe I should try it with an admixture of vodka.
I'll let you know.
Oh my gosh. As my brother in law always says in any event: "At least you'll lose weight." Sorry that wasn't helpful...(PS the clear eye stuff for small dogs is called 'Angel Eyes' You put quarter teaspoon in their food every day. Will let you know in a month if it works.)
ReplyDeleteIf I were you, I would give your brother-in-law a good smack.
DeleteYou're right it doesn't feel helpful.
I find when I'm not feeling too good that I tend to eat fattening comfort foods.
I got up at 5am this morning and had a bowl of mashed potatoes with extra butter and cream.
Yum.
Thanks for the tip about the Angel Eyes. I've sourced it here in NZ, and it's about $35 for 75g, so I'll be keen to see the results with your little Teddy.
Get better TSB. NLHS will collapse without your presence for too long, especially if Ringo has too take over the relief coverage. Let me know if you need some whisky sent up the hill toyour castle. Still got plenty of my late Uncles stash here, and we don't drink the stuff.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you need a gentle scalp massage.
Rest up old boy and take care. REMEMBER YOU ARE A FORMER SOLDIER SO SHOULD THEREFORE BE TOUGH AS OLD BOOTS.
Hiya VG. Ringo is no longer the relief backup. It's now (as Richard describes him ) Pompous.
DeleteANY WHISKY greatfully recieved. I don't discriminate.
Unfortuntely, I have very little scalp left to massage.
Old soldiers, even with the Caps lock on, are sensitive and delicate. We've seen too much sh*t with too many crap commanders to bother with present day conventions.
I've also get a very jealous Beloved, with a very sharp gelding knife. So any offers from attractive ladies to massage any part of my anatomy has to ne discouraged. Sorry.
What on earth made you think I wanted to massage your scalp? No thanks. But it was jsut a suggestion. Maybe your Beloved would like too? Well I'm pleased Ringo is no longer hands on the relief these days (Oh dear that does'nt sound too good does it). He must have done a great job of stuffing that up too in the past.
DeleteIs Mr Braces/Pompous really that bad? He sounds as condescending as Ringo. Perhaps thsi is considered to be a necessary quality in the DP's at NLHS? Power and Position really seem to go to some individuals heads eh? Bloody Power Trippers.
Don't take a hissy fit, the massage was only a suggestion. Pompous isn't in the same category as Ringo. He doesn't have a hidden agenda, but he's allowed hmself to be manipulated by Ringo too often. He now hates Ringo with the same amount of dripping venom as the ret of us.
DeleteUgh, I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I hope to.
DeleteUgh - with feeling. :( Hope you're better soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny Woolf. It took until Tuesday before I felt even part-way human again. I hope to be fully human to morrow, but I bet my students won't think so.
DeleteAre you done being sick yet?

Almost YONKS, should be almost back to normal tomorrow. I'll put up a quick post tonight if I get the time. It's really busy at NLHS at the moment. Teachers are dropping like flies.
Delete"Teachers are dropping like flies."
ReplyDeleteNot surprising if some of them go around holding turds in their hands see: http://richardsbassbag.blogspot.co.nz/2012/05/bad-day.html
