Quickie report on the weekend
Well that all went pretty well. Rhys stayed over on Friday night after the murder at FAC. Then I escorted him through the chilly but sun-drenched streets of Pessac Alouette to the railway station where we arrived just minutes after the departure of the train. I then accompanied him to the bus stop where he got on the bus, then tram to Bordeaux central station, arriving just minutes after the departure of the train. Hmmm.
Meanwhile I had been struck down with another dose of man-flu, so I took to my bed, aimed my nose skyward and waited for better times.
These cold cures you used to be able to buy contained an antihistamine, aspirin and caffeine, so my recipe when I have a cold is to take some of my stockpiled antihistamines and to drink lots of strong coffee. (Not too much !) Aspirin may be taken if desired.
On Sunday I was OK to mix, though not to shake hands, do the bise or share the common cup. Sadly we had neither paper hankies nor kitchen towel, so I had to go to church with a loo-roll in my pocket. It is a loo-roll with aloe vera in it - great for the nose. But one guy asked me if I'd put on weight suddenly. Yes, just here, I said, patting the loo-roll in my jacket pocket.
Decent turnout morning and evening. As often happens when I am unwell, I preached better. Makes you think. Some new faces at the English service.
