Illness

Posted by Simon on 4th, March 2010 at 07:00:08

As regular readers will know, rarely do I get too personal in a blog.

On this occasion however, please excuse me.  I've just been ill for four days and...

I hate being ill!  I loathe and detest and abhor and dislike and can't bear or abide or in any way whatsoever tolerate or even manage to be relatively calm and accepting of being ill.

It's such a foul feeling, each passing moment being unpleasant.  It's scarcely what life's for, in my view.

And it's such a waste of valuable, precious time, when all you can do is lie on your back and groan.  I tried thinking of ideas for new plots to distract myself, but my poor mind wasn't even up to that.

And I suppose, in the scheme of things, I only had a relatively mild illness too - tum problems with accompanying fever. 

So, as you can see, I don't care for being ill.  Please excuse the rant, but it felt cathartic!  And sorry for being out of touch for a few days, but now you know why.

So then, back to more important matters.  I'm feeling better and back to the writing.  The first draft of The Balance of Guilt requires only a few more days work, so I'm getting on with that.  And hopefully, at the weekend, I'll start narrating The TV Detective as an audio book.

And what a joy it is to be able to do all that, feeling human again!  Wishing you a fine - and healthy! - weekend.
