How Boring...

It is, it's very boring...but it's the reason I haven't been around much the last few days. Remember I had that respiratory infection a few weeks ago? Well, it recurred. I know why. It's because the antibiotics I had at the time were so upsetting to my system, I didn't take the repeat. I told my GP that they upset me, but as things seemed to be ok, he didn't give me any more. Which was fine by me as I don't like taking too many medications.

Yeah, well...I had to go get some more, didn't I? My chest became very sore and I had difficulty breathing regardless of using inhalers. Anyway, this latest lot of antibiotics seem to be a lot more gentle...for which I am very thankful...and they're also doing the trick, so it seems that I will be able to take the repeat and not have any dire consequences (touch wood!...what are you talking about...I'm not superstitious).

However, he has banned me from swimming until I have got rid of it completely. Do you know what the temperatures have been here? We had 40 degrees yesterday and pretty close to the same today...and I can't go in the pool? He has no idea what I'm going through...don't get me wrong, I like the heat...as long as I can jump in the pool and cool off. Although I must admit 40 degrees is a bit too hot beside which, it's March. Why are we getting 40 degree heat in March?

Altogether now..."it's global warming/climate change/or what other name you can think of" etc, etc. Ah...but, could it be just a natural progression in the scheme of things? Don't be daft...that's far too easy.

Sorry, gentle reader, you'll have to excuse the sarcasm. I'm very cynical when it comes to politicians...at the moment we're having local, state and Federal governments all playing the blame game over Australia's water crisis. It's an arid country, for heaven's sake. Of course there's going to be a shortage of water! But...do the powers that be have any foresight. Huh! The only foresight they have is how many dollars they can put in their pockets for their fancy lifestyles, travel junkets and superannuation...

No. I'm not going to say anymore. I'll just get too wound up and that's not a pretty sight!

To change the subject to a more peaceful one...it's St Patrick's Day this week, so if you're fully Irish, have a little Irish or don't have any Irish at all in your background...don't worry about it. On St Patrick's Day everyone's Irish...to be sure, to be sure! So grab yourself a Guinness, wear something green and enjoy what the day may bring. Slainte!
