The first is negative good news -- fifth day home and I don't seem to have caught any virus, despite all the people I was being touched and moved around by. I pretty much expected to catch something, there's so much about, and joy, I'm fine.
Then my healing approach worked again -- pain during the night, pretty much dispelled by another royal related documentary.
It was about those royal warrants the monarch gives to favorite shops and artisans. Very repetitive, low budget, out of date, and better than pills.
And great news for friends. You know the sock and glove ministry I have? I knit for a special project, send the work to a community of nuns who add it in to theirs and deliver it. Here's their exciting news
I wonder if they'll meet Colin Firth? At any rate, my nun friends are all excited. Even the dog, Jennie -- I've met her on my visits, she's a bit starstruck, I can tell. Me to the sisters to Spielberg, how many degrees!
Happy day everyone, you never know, you too may be discovered by Spielberg.
Is this what they call distraction theory?! Focussing elsewhere
ReplyDeleteNot unlike distracting a toddler!
DeleteExciting for the nuns! The only thing Wikipedia says so far about Spielberg's new film is that it is sci-fi, is based on an idea by Spielberg turned into a screenplay by another writer, and has an undisclosed name.
ReplyDeleteWell, that clarifies everything!
DeleteSo grateful to Debra for the intel! LOL
DeleteBy the time you’re fully recovered you’ll be an authority on everything royal.
ReplyDeleteAs a lifelong anti monarchist, I'm pretty au fait. Stuff you disapprove of tends to take up mental real estate. Added to a trad English education, and I'm a lost cause!
DeleteWhat a special time for the convent!
ReplyDeleteI imagine the infusion of cash to their needy coffers will be good, too. They're always having to fundraise.
DeleteThere is no shortage of such videos on line, Boud. Enough medication for the nights ahead for sure! How exciting for the nuns!
ReplyDeleteYes, Freevee should really be recommended for medical purposes.
DeleteDull videos or podcasts are better than eating shed loads of lettuce.
ReplyDeleteTrue that!
DeleteWhat excitement for the convent! I love it.
ReplyDeleteI also love that you've found the perfect remedy for late-night discomfort.
It's great. I can snort in annoyance to my heart's content. About the videos, not the movie.
DeleteGlad things are going well for you and hope the good news continues!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHow exciting! (Although Colin Firth was never my ideal Darcy.)
ReplyDeleteNot even in the wet shirt sequence??
DeleteA comic relief video option: the whole series of Jam and Jerusalem is currently on YT, on a channel called Forgotten British Television. There are also a lot of "sleeping pills" on that channel ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, thank you! I'll definitely check that out.
DeleteI hope it helps the order and glad the alternative pain control is once again successful!
ReplyDeleteI expect they're happy -- an adventure and a fee, both. They're a lively group, wouldn't surprise me if they try to sneak in a cameo!
DeleteI do so love finding hidden gems on the tube when insomnia (or pain or crying children) force you to be awake. We found a lovely little doco last night (although on Disney + - my daughter gave me a month's +1 on her subscription so we could all watch Hamilton on Sunday) - The Last Repair Shop - definitely one to make you happy and hopeful.
ReplyDeleteYes, one of the lesser benefits of tech.
DeleteGlad you've found an alternative for pain pills. Perhaps you should mention that to your doctor(s) and they could prescribe same (hah, as if!).
ReplyDeleteEmil tells me my pain tolerance is high, saying my 3 is other people's 8! It's very personal.
DeleteSo glad the documentaries still have their magic. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat great news for the nuns. And a fun way for them to put some money in their coffers. ;)
I wonder if they're hoping for a Firth sighting. They're a great group, up for anything.
DeleteHere is to you staying healthy and not getting sick!
ReplyDeleteThank you, my hope too.
DeleteThat's a movie I want to see! I like the idea of a Brit doc (even if outdated!)
ReplyDeleteI think you might like the Harrods scenes.
