I've been laid low with bronchitis.
I've re-read The Hobbit.
I am now re-reading Bill Bryson's
wonderful book
THE SHORT HISTORY OF NEARLY EVERYTHING.

I am now re-reading Bill Bryson's
wonderful book
THE SHORT HISTORY OF NEARLY EVERYTHING.
My poor heavy head
is full of fantasy
and wonder
regardless of weepy eyes and constant coughing
and an ever growing pile of tissues.
Outside the blackbirds and thrushes are singing
their fantastical spring songs
and I can't wait
to feel as energized as they sound.
Last night it thundered and flashed sheet lightning
and hailstones drummed on the tin awning on my bedroom deck.
The fickleness of Spring.
Warm one minute, cold the next
and pesky bugs are having a ball.
Bill Bryson
reminds me to not despair.
but instead to
feel the wonder of being here.
Aaaachoo!
Te hei mauri ora!
I sneeze... therefore I am alive!
Joan, As always, your doodlings are absolutely wonderful. I love the one of the city with people beneath. It's a magical world you see and create. I hope that same magical world delivers you to perfect health today. Best thoughts to you!
ReplyDeleteI have a cold but sometimes I don't think that I am alive, when I sneeze. I think it could be my last breath. Get better soon.
ReplyDeleteAlways such lovely doodlings from you, Joan, I love those houses.

Oh Joan, commiserations and I wish you a speedy recovery. Meanwhile, your doodles are delightful. I love the colours. It's good to have absorbing books to read when sick. I usually get lost in Jane Austen.
ReplyDeletePS I heard your email read out on the radio - about the crossword clue - stymied - that coincided with the announcer using the same word. I smiled, a lot.
