I’ve been hosting house guests – old friends Steve and Ginny Cook from the UK. Very good guests, they haven’t moaned very much about the terrible exchange rate against the UK pound and they’ve bought lots of wine! They stayed for a few days then headed off for Alice Springs and Uluru via the Ghan train, then Darwin and Kakadu in a camper van. Lucky them. Steve sent this pic to prove they are still alive. They haven’t seen the film Wolf Creek. They will return to see us in a week or so.
I’ve been enduring a shocking head cold for 10 days. Blocked sinuses mean I can’t sleep properly and have a headache. Codral tablets have kept me functional but have failed to solve the problem, so I had to see a doctor, who prescribed the antibiotic amoxycillin. The downsides of this penicillin drug are interesting. “Patient-reported, side-effects include mental changes, lightheadedness, insomnia, confusion, anxiety, sensitivity to lights and sounds, and unclear thinking.”
Hmm, that sounds like my everyday life. Sniff!
