We came to the conclusion that living in London was part of the reason why we seemed to shake it off and then catch it again. Either it was evolving and modifying itself or it was the pollution that was making it worse. Not sure which, but it may well be a combination of the two.<br /><br />I'd love to do as you suggest and just retreat into my 'cave' to recover, but the 'mammoths' need hunting ... and I'm the man to do it!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-49935697921589897742018-09-30T01:33:45.114+01:002018-09-30T01:33:45.114+01:00You seem to have tenacious brands of viruses in th...You seem to have tenacious brands of viruses in the 'Propodes'. But I am convinced in my own mind that 'Man Flu' is a thing, and essential to survival. Attending meetings is one thing, but imagine hunting mammoth with your eyes on strings, or facing with a runny nose a sabre-toothed tiger, or sneaking up on a buffalo with a sneeze coming on and demanding attention.<br /><br />That is why, if I could, I'd hunker down, sleep off the cold, and three days later emerge with just a little bit of a cough and feeling pretty close to top notch. Now I'm a bit older, it's more like 4 days, but, after that, any mammoth, buffalo or sabre-toothed tiger roaming around in my neighbourhood does so at the risk of its life.<br /><br />Get well soon, eh?Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-10276096505766478132018-09-29T08:23:30.356+01:002018-09-29T08:23:30.356+01:00'Lee,

I agree with the chap above when he says you have a full and active life in retirement, good on you. Hope you are feeling better and able to continue work on the Portable Napoleonic Wargame, you can put me down for a HB copy once published as I have something in mind for my 40mm figures :) 'Lee.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02728400013024811279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-56102270722967487992018-09-28T17:49:17.547+01:002018-09-28T17:49:17.547+01:00Kev Robertson,

Too many retired people seem to sit and do very little all day ... and then seem to age very quickly. An active body and an active mind are a recipe for a full and enjoyable retirement.<br /><br />Your trip sounds as if it was very enjoyable It's vital to have the occasional change of scenery to keep your mind active, and can be a great tonic, especially if one is feeling a bit stale.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-67907789701066539502018-09-28T12:37:31.078+01:002018-09-28T12:37:31.078+01:00Bob,

I had a pleasant morning and afternoon away with a drive down the South Coast to a small coastal town called 'Kiama'- it was rainy and cold though this didn't deter me from buying a very nice sculpture of a turtle and a single ocean shell and a very nice coffee. I took the long way home away from the coast travelling up through 'Jamberoo' and negotiating 'Jamberoo Mountain'- by the time I arrived at 'Robertson' there was a heavy fog and misty rain- the rest of the journey home was uneventful apart from the much needed rain. All up about 5hrs journey- it was great to have a change of scenery to view the coast and inland dairy farms...it will not be long and I will go again. Yes, pottering around and whiling away the days can drift by without notice- spending some good hours away from home is certainly good medicine. Best Wishes. KEV.KEV.
