Yum! Sneeze-Wobbly-ouch.

[erastes]

Yum!  Had two things yesterday Ive never had before. we went to the Recruiting Sargeant (which I’ve mentioned before) and I had fish Tapas which is something I’ve not had there before.  It was gorgeous. Crab and cheese bake in a small ramekin, some fishy and sauerkrauty and mustardy thing in a shot glass, tempura prawns with dipping sauce, an oyster, scallops, mackerel, haddock, sardines, smoked salmons and samphire. DELICIOUS. I’d not had scallops or samphire before, and now I know why everyone raves about them.

No writing today. I’ve got a miserable cold – and what’s worse, vertigo with it which is something I’ve not had before (not with a cold, that is.) I assume I caught the cold from someone in Ely. *biffs you infectious lot* as i had a sore throat and a burgeoning thirst on Monday morning. I’m not panicking about the dizziness yet, I’ll see how it goes.

Had to go to my Glucose Tolerance test today – NO chance of driving, what with the eyes AND the vertigo, I’d have crashed in minutes. Was relatively painless – I’ll say one thing for James Paget’s haematology department – they really CAN get blood out of a stone, and although she had to experiment with 3 different needles, she got the requisite blood out (one phial every hour for three hours). Sadly I didn’t get to eat Mars Bars, I had a half litre of Lucozade which was just as nice, as I love that stuff.

Tomorrow I go back for another eye check up. I think they eyes are a BIT improved from last time, but not in the same measure as they were before.

All very dull, I know, but just checking it. I have done 1000 words this week, so I can make my target if I try hard. There’s no point getting depressed that I’ve lost so many weeks writing because of the eyes, all I can do is press on. I' think I can still finish by end of year, and that’s the important thing, because I don’t want to overrun with this one. I have my next project in mind and it’s something I know a lot about, and it will be a lot more FUN than things I’ve written for a while. More sexy, I think, at least. If that’s OK with the literati?  :D
