Yes, let the sleeping signs lie. I do not believe there is any science in astrology, but it is interesting how it has survived from Babylonian times.

I have got an Egyptian heiroglyphs phrase book. Nothing about airports or hotels, but prayers for the deceased, such as "a thousand bread and a thousand beer".

NASA says star signs should change, but astrologers dismiss this

Eh what???

Ha ha! Any more sauce-related jokes???

Yes, a strange coincidence. Although I knew the name, it is not a word I use every day.

A malaise is a French sickness, somewhat like mayonnaise. I was busy writing out my will.

OMG! A marmot??? I am going to give up eating them.

Perhaps. Perhaps 35 is a lucky number to the Chinese.

I was. Of course I thought it was covid, but it seems it was not, just a one-day malaise.

Recovering from an Illness

I awake.
I flinch,
Waiting for the pain
To return,
But no,
There is only
A dull ache,
The residue of the illness.

I lie still,
Savouring the relief
From the pain and discomfort.
Filled with gratitude
For the deliverance.

Eventually I stretch my limbs
And rise from my bed.
A lingering shower,
Some breakfast,
And I am ready
To face the new day
Restored to wellness.

Only 35 ???

Come here Covid darling!

It is. I wonder, will any parents call their child Covid?

I see. Well, it is a way to pass the time.

The Queen does get lonely. And also depressed from tidying up after her troublesome family. Timothy deserved to get that message from Her Majesty (via the lady in waiting).
