How did it get to be 10.30? I'm sure it was 9pm a minute ago.

So, what have I done recently? The Saturday before last was where it all started. I was at a Rotaract thing and they had a kid's wooden climbing thing. And a seesaw. So at lunchtime I'd been on the seesaw, then thought I'd go up the climbing thing so I could go across the wooden bridge and down the slide. Except that I climbed up a selection of horizontal logs which necessitated me looking down at them and therefore I didn't see the one at the top painted with red and white stripes and consequently hit it with my face. Quite hard. My bendy glasses were not that bendy, I cut my top lip and worst of all bruised my nose where my glasses sit and behind my ear where my glasses sit. And possibly my forehead.

So after that I started feeling tired and dizzy, which wasn't really a good sign. As I had a driving lesson the next morning I ended up speaking to four different nurses. NHS Direct decided that because I couldn't concentrate and my memory wasn't great I should go to A&E or have someone with me. So I called a friend of mine who lives round the corner, who happened to be a nurse. She made me ring the out of hours doctor, who turned out to be a nurse. She recommended I go to the Minor Injuries Unit, which was a whole lot emptier than A&E. Fortunately, my friend's mum drove me there. The nurse there eventually concluded that I either had a mild concussion or was coming down with something and it might have gone by the morning.

Turned out to be flu and I could have skipped the whole thing.

So, anyway, I spent a week desperately trying to cool down (eventually discovered a cold flannel on the face and feet is fantastic) and watching & listening to lots of Doctor Who and some Avengers.

The first Avengers on the DVDs had Steed and Peel fencing at the beginning. Which was partically him trying to convince her to go to Little Bazeley-by-the-sea and also so he could have cream in his tea. Then they had a wonderful scene on the train where they had to 'rough it' due to there being no restaurant car, at which point Steed had a definite Mary Poppins bag, the number and size of things he pulled out of it.

I also saw Carnival of Monsters, which is a Third Doctor and Jo episode, and a good one as well. I discovered the commentary was quite handy for lying down with your eyes closed too.

So then this weekend I've been feeling better, so spent it catching up, and I've just done, in time for doing a whole load more Rotaract things tomorrow in preparation for tomorrow's meeting.
