Made it into work today because there’s a late shift at the bakery today so I could wait until the phlegm had cleared before heading in. Managed a good hour of photography and really enjoyed being there with everyone, but crashed horribly this evening with the good old post-exertion malaise. I mentioned to someone earlier how it’s been perversely nice to have a bad cold because at least it’s a proper illness that has recognisable symptoms and eventually passes. The cold has shoved the chronic fatigue on to the back seat this last couple of weeks, but it’s back wth a vengeance. Yay…
The post-exertion thing is weird as it’s totally unpredictable. I got home feeling pretty good, cautiously confident I could do some small jobs around the house. Fi came back around the same time, we cleaned out the rabbits together but as she updated me on her day I felt my brain shutting down. Watching Taskmaster, - usually a refreshing distraction - became a chore and putting this post together has been like wading through treacle.
It’s not as bad as it’s been, but it’s still massively disabling.

Music listening:
Reading:
- Alex Winter on fame, AI and reuniting with Keanu Reeves: ‘Sometimes we’re on a groove and go, ‘God damn, that was good!’ - buried the lede here - their Waiting for Godot is midway through its Broadway run. Really hope there’s a recording.
- Actually existing solarpunk
- This feeling is called hope
- Only Connect host Victoria Coren Mitchell drags Graham Linehan over trans remarks - not wanting to give publicity to the hateful man but three cheers for Victoria. Only Connect is one of those shows where I see My People, the sort of weirdos that look like my friends, on the telly and it’s lovely to see the host being protective of her flock.
Watching:
- Andrew Scott’s iconic dance in The Pursuit of Love - For some reason the Mitford sisters have been on my mind this week and Fi has no memory of seeing this, which she surely would, right? Thankfully I grabbed it before it left iPlayer.
