Sick

Well folks we got back to Perth late Wednesday after being in Melbourne for Paul and Amber's wedding. Wednesday was a long day as we took Georgia to Avalon Airport, getting up at 5.30 to get her there for 7am, so she could catch her flight to Sydney and then to LA via Auckland (she arrived safely), then we drove back to Melbourne in peak hour, finished our own packing and took ourselves to the airport. We sat in the airport for an hour and half and then enjoyed a 4 hour flight and then more time in a cab.

Sue and I had some celebratory drinks - for making it through the week.

On Thursday i woke up sick with the sorest throat (could hardly swallow) and then i got conjunctivitis from hell. I couldnt open my eyes this morning - had to wash them to get them apart and i looked like i had been in a rocky movie (on the wrong end of a good beating).

I probably need to go to the doctor but lets see what happens over the weekend. I am treating the sore throat with an old fashion remedy - lemon juice, honey, hot water and a slug of brandy and i have been putting some prescription antibiotic drops in my eyes. Both work for a short time then i need more. I will need to get some more brandy if this keeps up.

Um, probably need to go to the doctor? Try "get yo ass to the clinic NOW!" instead. Eye problems are nothing to mess around with.

Get well soon.
