No worldly wisdom form me today, because I'm feeling like shit. I've had a really bad head cold for four days and everyday I've been hoping it would improve, but it's only got worse. So this morning when I woke up, I started coughing and had agonising pains in my chest, so I thought "enough's enough, I'm going to make a Doctor's appointment!" In Buckie, you can see a minor ailments nurse instead of a Doctor (if you're not dying), who can prescribe antibiotics, precisely what I was needing. So, I have a chest infection as it turns out, and the nurse gave me Amoxicillin.
To compound my misery, it's raining heavily and it's fairly cold as well. Welcome to British Summertime. I'll tell you what, I've perceived a noticeable change in the seasons over the last few years, climate change is happening, whether it's man-made or naturally occuring (probably both). We used to get a good foot of snow here in Winter, and usually just before Christmas. Now we only get some very light snowfall in Feb/March. Summers are becoming wetter too, we used to get nice long, hot, dry summers and rain and wind in April/May and Sept/Oct, but now it's just all over the place with very short intense hot spells.
Fortunately for me, I'm keeping my spirits up by thinking about our impending family holiday on the Venetian Riviera. It's going to be brilliant, can't wait!
