Poor, poor Larry :-(

Blahhhhhh! I've been sick over the holidays with the same influenza as everyone else. It took me out for nearly 2 weeks, which is far longer than I would have liked :-/  I read online last night that there is a laboratory in the UK that have created a robot in the form of a man, called Larry. The job of Larry is to projectile vomit over different surfaces, the floor, tables, bed, sofa etc. Stakkars han :-( The science geeks are trying to work out how far vomit particles can travel and still be potent enough to transfer a particular illness to anyone who accidentally ingests the vomit. Æsj! ! !

Every time I get sick, it comes on quickly, hits me hard and then usually leaves me again just as quickly. So, if someone is normally sick for a week,the whole process for me, from getting sick to being well again would only take 24-36 hours. Nice, you might say, but I nearly always get a serious fever and become delirious, which is not so fun. A strange thing I experience, or perhaps not so strange if you think about it, is that when I am delirious, my two worlds (the living and the dead) overlap, the distance between them is zero, nothing. So, when I am sporting a high temperature and "talking a load of rubbish" as my wife calls it, I find that my connection to the other side is perfectly clear. I see, hear, feel dead people all around me. It's not an ideal way to work and I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone wanting to build a better connection with Spirit but we all have our quirky sides, I guess.

Anyway, I am fever free, back in the saddle and looking forward to working in Molde again tomorrow :-) My first stop, though, is to Anette at Diva Design for good coffee and a catch-up conversation - a perfect way to start the day :-)

Happy New Year to you all!
