Calamitous indeed!
Jesus Christ!
It never rains but it pours, lol…
For the first time I several years I have a bloody cold, or
flu virus. I never get these and it is about typical that there is talk on the
news of an airborne SARS virus and I have contracted something before finishing
my…WORK!
Hehe, oh well if that is how it turns out then that is how
it turns out after all I never thought for one second that I would contract
that Swine Flu but I did. Hmm come to think of it that was the last time I had
a flu type bug?! Yes now I realise why I thought of that SARS virus as that
last time I felt like this I have that Swine Flu virus!
My friend came today but my journey out to regain that £120,
though now £130, loss I made ended up ceasing to be. I had already started
sneezing a great deal and have the tickly nose that drives you nuts and makes
your eyes water.
Typing is… bizarre!
I had tissues in hand when he arrived and I stated that it
seems I have a cold type bug which is annoying as it is right on top of the
weekend and I am due to pay my rent. I know times are tough and I like to pay
my landlord immediately but due to the virus and the fiasco created by Argos
and with it being close to the weekend it seems that is all now postponed and
not important now until Monday. If indeed I have recovered by then…fingers
crossed!
So I have been in all day and my eyes have been streaming
and I have been sneezing enough put the fear up Butterflies three continents
away!
Oddly I had ordered a bag for fear of going out with my new
camera and damaging it or getting it wet and I had an email at around 8am from
Amazon telling me my LowePro Micro Bag had been dispatched and would not arrive
until next Thursday. This was a little annoying as I had paid £3.00 for postage
and after ordering it using my smartphone while out and in pain while feeling
fatigued, I hate smartphones, I had started to convince myself that as the bag
was designed for an SLR and a LENS that it would be too big. So I had thought
that once I was out and had sold all my four items that I would get ANOTHER
camera bag, making it the third in a week, and an extra set of rechargeable AA
batteries, as it ran out of juice pretty quick though I am hoping it was the
cheap batteries included?!
Lo and behold I had thought post had come through the door
and so did my mate as he has now had the habit of picking it u and handing it
to me. But he looked at the floor by the door, ever so slightly out of my libe
of site, and said “eh? There is no post but I heard the Postman” I said maybe
it was a newspaper and he then opened the door to find a woman standing there
with a parcel and some mail.
It was the Lowepro Bag and the Olympus Stylus SP-820UZ
camera that is bigger than the Nikon L810 I returned fits into he bag like it
was made to measure. Well…once you remove the Velcro partition inside and move
it to one side!
Do not know where I picked up this cold from and only other
friend I am in contact with did have some time on and off the lavatory recently
but nothing about any cold like symptoms.
With my luck my symptoms will go downhill tomorrow onwards
just as the weather will improve dramatically but I did mange to get some shots
of Goldfinches in my garden and this time with a CLEAN WINDOW. I even managed
to get 6 all in the same few shots!
Of course that is the one benefit of being confined to
quarters when the weather has improved a little is that I may get a series of
good shot. If it does turn out I cannot get out again then I only hope that
several Orchids flower over the next few days too?! I know one will have
several flowers open shortly, like tomorrow. One is two days away and one about
three or four days away and around three shortly after that. So at least I can
increase my content and my only annoying mishap was that as I was about to film
the Goldfinches they all suddenly…fled the nest, pardon the pun. I wondered why
all the birds had decided to suddenly vanish when I saw a NEW cat sitting on
top of my Barbecue Shed, hmm might try that out this year for the first time,
looking at where the birds had recently been perched?!
That is one Bar Steward Cat! LOL.
It is not even the one that is friendly with me though I did
think it was she when I first glimpsed it through the branches. Do not know if
someone knew has moved in or just the sudden visiting flocks of birds I am
getting is attracting Cats from further afield?!
Hmm eyes and nose streaming like a waterfall, maybe some
food and a Pixar film is the order of the day, or indeed night?!
