the blossoms are blooming and blooming they are..
also a beautiful bowl of yellow tulips as a thank u from a knitting friend...lovely..
now to super bugs...of the fluey variety ..
i have escaped these deadly little so and so's all winter long .
but then the inevitable happened and bang i got one..right up the nose..literally..
infected sinuses..and yeah a course of antibiotics is the only thing that will take away cemented sinuses...
then the probiotic to help the antibiotic..not to mention when you can take these...hmm is it on a empty stomach or with food????
it's all too hard
but i can deal with ALL THIS ...
yes i can ..
because you see....I AM OFF TO PAREE..........
in september i am flying with deb ...calicoandivy...to paris ....yes yes yes to paris...
so no amount of sinus or s... is going to stop this little girl from getting REALLY .REALLY ..EXCITED...
so i'm off to sniff some wasabi up the nasal cavities ....cos i really have to get rid off this before i'm off to paree.....
