Oh no, I'm sorry you've had one too.
I thought I had a cold - but it went straight for my respiratory system and I started to get concerned about my breathing. Suspicious it might have been Covid.
I hope you're feeling much better now๐

Attacks are unpredictable, but being unwell, over tired, depressed, are all triggers.
I'm fairly good at blocking these days, forcing myself to mentally focus on some positive project, something very involving in the planning sense.
It's still a demon that costs me a lot of sleep.

Robert Jenrick holds up a judges wig like a puppet during his speech to the Conservative Party Conference.
We have an independent judiciary in this country. Robert Jenrick wants puppet judges.
The Conservative Party once believed in the rule of law and our shared British values - no longer.

They've really b*ggered up Cadbury chocolate since it was flogged off.
I lived in the Cadbury house as a student (and next in Bournville near the factory), and the betrayal really pains me.

The problems that we as a nation have sought to illuminate, so that we can remedy them, are disappearing โ not because the problems are disappearing or have been remedied, but because we will no longer know about them. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/turning-out-the-lights-on-the-economy

Glad you could get some decent stuff. It's annoying how steeply wine prices have escalated here - emblematic of our runaway food inflation.
A trip to a French supermarket is such an eye opener. Excellent wine at a fraction of the price here.

I used to really enjoy my occasional trips into the office, once or twice a month.
Great catching up with colleagues and having a good chin wag.
Honestly, though, almost zero formal work got done on those days.
Jenrick worked in Moscow. He would have been right at home in that racist hellhole.
