Under the bad weather

I came home for an early weekend this week. I've been a bit under the weather since last Saturday, it didn't seem serious at first, and it still isn't I hope, but I was coughing like a maniac (a maniac with a cough) last night when I wanted to try to sleep. I feared I would vomit if I wasn't careful so I went to the bathroom and sure enough, a little sick came up. Once this had happened, I had nothing to lose so I stayed there and fervantly called for Rolf - I usually find that being violenly sick is a turning point on the way to recovery - but nothing more substantial came up. So I left it feeling unfulfilled.

I haven't been sick since but I can't say I'm entirely recovered either, I just feel a bit strange and unready to take on any major tasks. (even more than usual)

Lying in my bed now, I can see a fly on my wall, it hasn't moved for two days. I think it must be dead, unless someone is using it to spy on me! If there are any ladies out there who would like to be a fly on my wall, leave comments below.

I'm currently reading a History of Medicine because even that is more interesting than what I should be doing. I have so far got to the point where it has become apparent that mercury might help you in the short term but it will probably kill you in the long term. So 'don't try mercury' would be my medical advice. In saying that, if you have been taking mercury then that might explain your madness and paranoia. You should probably at least cut back.

I would be apprehensive about attempting to woo ladies by asking them if they would wish to be a fly on your wall. If they say 'no', then they may find your posing of the question odd and your chances would be damaged. If they say 'yes', then it may suggest that they lack ambition.

Paul,

Who said anything about wooing? I was just offering a chance to be a fly on my wall, either literally or metaphorically.

I didn't make up any dates, you did!

I'm not sure whether I'm in my right mind either. If I were sure, I'd probably be wrong.

It was kind of you to offer to stalk me but I'd rather you didn't if it's all the same to you. You do it very badly and make no effort to be subtle. (And you're not a lady)

Pete,

I'm not, knowingly, taking mercury. Unless someone is lacing my food with it - perhaps the same person who planted the fly on my wall.

Re. Wooing - as with Paul

I'm afraid that any lady who says 'yes' to any kind of propsal from me lacks ambition.

Paul,
I'm not a liar, you are!

Was it you I saw up a tree outside my bedroom window?

Stay away from me!
