Busy week

It's been a busy week at work this week. Lots of practicals, and today there were two macaron workshops.
A lady called Louise, the owner of Emma's Tea Parties, led the workshop. During the second one I made them as well. For my first ever time. They turned out pretty well.
Then I went and gave them away to colleagues, as they are lovely, but far too sweet for me.

Dreams when ill

Is it just me, or does anyone else have very lucid scary dreams when they are ill?
Last night I dreamt that I was in this room and I was showing people how to do something, and no one was taking any notice. I asked the " person" next to me why I was being ignored. The answer was, "You are not there" "Where am I, then?" I asked.  "Out there, you have been for years." The "person" just gestured to the air, which I took to mean that I was dead, and didn't know it.
Scary.

First post of 2015

Before Xmas I had something similar to flu, which left me with a chest infection. I was given antibiotics for that, but ever since I have had a feeling of nausea almost every day. Plus I keep coughing, which isn't good with my asthma.
It almost feels like I have mucus settled in my stomach, as 9 times out of 10, I am being sick after eating.
Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning I hardly slept for coughing, then I slept through until 3pm. Then when I got up, brought up whatever I tried to eat. This morning I am still being sick, perhaps it is a touch of gastric flu, but that doesn't explain the nausea since early December.

I've got a doctor's appointment later, perhaps some light might be shed on things.

WTF.....to coin a crude phrase

The Coca-Cola wagon was here in Morecambe today.
What I really don't get is why people were almost "thronging" to see it.
Surely one HGV is much like another, despite livery and lights?
Maybe I missed out on a life changing moment, but I very much doubt it.
This wagon is to me, all that is wrong about this time of year.....crazy consumerism.
I love the family gathering aspect, but stuff like the Coca-Cola wagon, are just opportunists jumping on the more and more commericialised aspect of Yule

By election victory!.....Really?

I don't usually blog about anything political, but two things have caught my attention after the last two by elections.
My points to ponder are......OK, UKIP have got two MPs, but they were both the sitting MPs....so are the electorate voting for UKIP,  or are they just happy with how the MP, whatever his coat, represents them?
I for one would love to see how they fare in an area where the MP is NOT defecting to UKIP.....I think that might result in a different outcome.
My second point is, if the Tories did not have a majority, how many more defections can they stand, before the Tories, plus the lib dems aren't a majority?
Is it possible that the sitting government could be faced with being a minority?
I'm just puzzling these things.
Any answers, ideas.....send on a sealed down envelope, or postcard to........!

Still not right

Following on from last week's post.
The doctor prescribed some different pills to cope with my nerve pain.  He only gave me a week's worth, just in case they disagreed with me.
And here I am, again, not fit for work as they have also made me disorientated, but these haven't really done the pain killing.
I'm so frustrated, as I don't know if there are any more alternatives.  If there is and they come from the same "family" of drugs they might have the same effect on me.
I might be wrong, but it looks like I might just have to put up with the pain.

Random acts of kindness

Has anyone heard about this idea?
When I first heard about it, I thought.....that's not me
Yet, when I look back on things that I have done recently, perhaps I do commit "random acts of kindness", but to me they are just the acts of a decent human being.
What do you think of this idea?
