A short break in proceedings …

I’m due to take off for a couple of weeks. I will not be posting during this time. When I go on holiday I don’t do anything online apart from check emails. (Time is too valuable to spend writing posts, I’d rather be relaxing outdoors or doing something exciting.)

I’ve been unwell this week. Still. Hence no postings of cookery. I did manage to bake another batch of those breakfast bars to take with me on holiday, and I’ve managed to prepare a healthy tea each evening. Nothing exciting. Tonight’s likely to be pumpkin soup from a carton with some sour dough bread, toasted. Simple, filling, comforting. I’ll deal with tomorrow when it’s here.

Have resorted to homeopathy for my ails. Nux vomica. Lovely name isn’t it? Well, two little pilules under the tongue seem to have eased the ache and pain dramatically and I feel I have more energy. I do feel very, very washed out. Perhaps I’ve been fighting an infection? Or maybe it’s just the heat? Who knows? Have been doing loads of internet research, seeking out support groups and forums to do with GERD. So many people with this disease complain of “taking their medications but still in pain”. (If I stop my meds, the pain is far, far, far worse.) Frustrating.

Hoping the cooler, albeit far more humid weather of Queensland will settle things down. Looking forward to flying over the recently/still flooded areas and seeing greenery for the first time in some years.

Back sometime in February.
