I've been sick, and even though I like to blog about all and sundry, I feel no inspiration to write everyday about the repeated insistences of my bowels - I don't mind doing it once though, now that the worst is over...... 

So basically my eyelid swelled up, sometime about a week ago, I ignored it for a couple of days until it got worse and started to well knack, and my vision began to go blurry. On the plus side, I began to look like a Bond villain....

I went to see the Doctor, she said I had a Blepharitis and recommended an eyebath and antibiotics - I went with my prescription, purchased both, and with no real idea about what they were, began knocking back my medication...

I took Flucloxacillin, four times a day for one day, my eye showed a slight improvement, and my bowels went haywire - the details are far from dull, but perhaps a little tasteless - suffice to say Friday night's gig in Mansfield was one of the most challenging sets I've ever performed and I nearly blacked out three times....

It's been nearly a week now, my eye is fine, but my bowels are still janky - we're no longer on 'brown alert', but I've still got an emergency bogroll in my bag wherever I go... 

Many other things happened this week, we got hold of the first proper copies of our album, we played our single launch at the Brud and had an awesome 'farewell yard' party afterwards, Ma came to visit, and I thought a whole lot about death and morality and didn't feel much like writing it down........  

  Maybe tomorrow......
