The Blog is Back!

Apologies to all of my readers, I expect that you have been missing my daily utterings. Indeed I have been missing writing each day on the variety of subjects that have been part of the first seventy odd blogs. Unfortunately I have missed my objective of writing an entry every day for a year. It just shows how you never know what is round the corner.

I was struck down with a chest infection that really took the stuffing out of me. I have lacked energy to do anything other than sleep or watch mundane television. I even stopped eating, and generally felt depressed. It was so frustrating, but as I feel a lot better today and so am back writing the blog, it is so restorative.

I think the worst point of the two weeks is realising that you are just existing, and that a highlight of the day is watching a quiz show called Pointless at 5pm on the BBC.

The previous week we met the close family in Sherborne, North Dorset to intern my mother’s ashes. It was great to sit and reminisce, look at old family photos, and recollect those funny and peculiar moments that unite all families. The weather was extremely kind to us and truly reflected my mother’s sunny character.

On a culinary note Marion bought some Dorset Knobs, which can only be purchased in Dorset. They are a sort of hard biscuit that is good to eat with cheese. And to go with this of course a Blue Vinney cheese that is an extremely pungent blue cheese that again can only be purchased locally.

So tomorrow I will be back onto good form, indeed if I do not cough a lot I maybe readmitted to the marital bed!!!!!
