Just a few words today, while I recover.
I've got a cold and bunged up lungs at the moment so my asthma is bad. Sitting upright in bed is not a comfortable way to sleep, nor when I was woken up coughing- at least twenty times...
I felt so ill this morning that I did think I was going to have to back out of this weekend's events.
But I've now got some medicine and I'm hoping it will improve my breathing enough to get through my performance on Saturday.
So I'm off to print out the pages I need, and some business cards (just in case), then I'm off for a nap.
Hope the weather is a bit dryer and brighter where you are, we have dark clouds, rain and thunder, plus the Olympic Torch is making it's way to Nottingham city centre this afternoon.

Progress and Leaks...
As I write this on Monday evening we're waiting to find out where the gas leak is.
There was a strong smell of gas earlier this evening at the bottom of the short driveways on our side of the road, so the national grid gas leak service was called out and arrived a couple of hours ago; at the moment the gentleman with the device for detecting leaks has moved across the road and is inside one of the houses there, so it doesn't look like we have a gas leak this time- I'm glad to say.
Anyway, back to the progress bit of the title.
I got my trip to IKEA on Saturday and the Billy bookcase is now installed (thanks to my OH, patience and a screwdriver) and is slowly being filled. Admittedly there's still a lot of boxes to go through, but another little section of my office is emerging.
My outfit for Saturday (reading at the Fringe event at the local book festival) is almost decided; black trousers and a cerise pink cross-over top (at the moment) but this could change if it's cold. Cerise is just enough brightness for me.
The hairdresser is booked for later in the week, for a trim and colour wash.
Now I know this might seem a little over the top for just twenty minutes in total, but it all helps the confidence quotient- and I don't get many opportunities like this so I'm going to enjoy myself while I can...
If I can persuade my OH to stay and take some pictures of the event, I might be able to show you a few next week.
(The Gas man has gone now, so it looks like the leak was across the road.)
5 days to go...
