A number of unrelated matters

...well, three unrelated matters anyway. But then, three is a number after all.

*Regular reader(s) might know I've not exactly been unwell of late, but not exactly 100% either: tiredness, lethargy, cold symptoms (including binge-sneezing) amongst other things, compounded a few days ago by sleeplessness and also a cricked neck. Most of the symptoms haven't been so bad in themselves, the problem has been that they've been lingering for 2 or 3 months now, and it's not really much fun.

So I went to the doctors, and it appears that I may have an allergy. I'll be having some blood tests soon, in the meantime I'm taking some anti-allergens: they've stopped the binge-sneezing at the very least and I'm hopeful that some of the other symptoms will be relieved too.

Also my sleeping patterns appear to be settling down (thank goodness - I'm utterly rubbish if I miss out on sleep), though this is a seperate thing from any possible allergies, and more the aftermath of hectic and intense times at work, what with the audit amongst other things. It has at times been difficult to switch off from a constant flow of thoughts and of information.

*This coming weekend I'll be in Paris.

Thankszola, I certainly did give it my best.

deej, I allowed myself drinks in moderation (my tablets say avoid excessive amounts of alcohol!) - oh and you have hopefully received the first batch of pics by now.

Hi rob, yes it was fabulous, really was. I had a quick look at the tag last night - just briefly. I may do it, I'll keep it as a reserve possibility to maybe do in the next couple of weeks if you don't mind :)

pants, I can only nod sagely at such words.
