Had a really good Christmas with all of close family around, Wife, Son, sons beau, Daughter, daughters beau, Dog, you know, everyone.
The weather was pleasant, the food was plentiful, the grog was cold and abundant, the chocolates (almonds and peanuts and wrapped individual choccies) were sublime, it was the best of times.
Of course there was the occasional argument, usually about disagreements on opinions of some sort, and of course I an old so what would I know ...
The folly of youth and the absolutes of self belief are amazing.
Given all the above, it was a fairly standard gathering with all the ups and down of human nature, especially with strong willed and opinionated ones.
But I faired it well and did some good driving work, had a good time both socially and work wise.
So yesterday, went to the Doctor to see about a rash on my upper body that appeared a few days ago, he informs me that it is shingles. Happy New Year.
It is uncomfortable, with a combination of pain, itching, nausea, flaring radiated nerve pulses, tenderness with irritability, a good time for some stronger than normal pain relief pills.
It looks like Backgammon and Cricket for the next few weeks, what could be more comforting in a time of discomfort.
