I've had a nasty infection for a week and my brain is scrambled.
I feel like Francis Gilroy in David Park's book The Truth Commissioner:
"Never before has Gilroy felt his life so full of words and so depleted of those that carry meaning. Some days it feels he's wearing a straitjacket or his brain is clamped in a vice. He wants a new way to speak; he wants whatever's still ahead of him to be lived in a different way."
Normal service may or may not be resumed in due course.

ReplyDeleteJohn - Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHa! I've had that infection for over a year now.
ReplyDeleteGet well soon, Nick.
I was thinking of writing a post tomorrow.... but if your brain's scrambled I'll put it on hold.
Sx
Tough luck, Nick, how miserable for you.
ReplyDeleteGet well soon.
We'll stay in the holding pattern.

Scarlet - Ooh, a new post, how exciting! I shall have to get my brain in full fettle pronto to give it my fullest attention.
ReplyDeletewww - Excellent. But have you got enough fuel to stay in the air for a while?
get yourself better, nick!
ReplyDeleteOh poor you/us. Both my son and I have chest infections at the moment. Hoping like hell we didn't catch it from a colleague at work who has just been diagnosed with whooping cough. Get better soon.
ReplyDeleteHope you're better soon, Nick, I enjoy your thought provoking posts.
ReplyDeleteKylie - Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMyra - My sympathies. Hope you're not feeling as battered as I am.
Jenny - Thanks. Not feeling very thoughtful just now, more like wading through treacle.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery Nick. Not to worry, the brain will unscramble itself soon enough. I speak from experience. It is a daily occurrence for me.
ReplyDeleteRamana - My brain is unscrambling itself rapidly. I daresay something prodigiously brilliant will emerge from it soon.
ReplyDeleteAaah, I'm sorry. My son and his girlfriend have had a horrible virus for a few weeks and it really does affect the way you function, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon. :)
Jay - Thanks. It's funny how a virus affects the brain as well. I felt about as lucid as a guinea pig. Fully recovered now, thank goodness.
ReplyDeleteI am rather late with the grapes. I hope you are back to normal at this stage. Take care.
ReplyDeleteGrannymar - I'm very much back to normal. Firing on all cylinders, you might say.
