I’m down this week paying the tax on “having a body” and haven’t been able to do much more than sleep and try to keep down water. Won’t be coming out with a tea with alice this week. All apologies. The Last Post is still coming out daily, because it’s recorded in an alternate universe, which is handy if you’re missing my voice in your ears. Should be back in order by Sunday and back on the wagon.
Feeling like my general smug attitude to “I never get sick” has taken a real blow over the past few months and all my family and loved ones have moderated their sympathy by pointing out that I really only have myself to blame - having been not so much burning the candle at both ends as throwing the whole candle directly into a furnace. This is of course salutary, but not what you want to hear when you’re feeling sorry for yourself. I much prefer uncritical sympathy, but must admit there is some justice to their still-sympathetic-but-leavened-with-fact-based-strategy-suggestions approach.
If you’re in Australia, tickets are now on sale for Chronos at the Melbourne, Sydney and Perth Comedy festivals, so if you’re in those towns around those times, do book tickets. I promise I’ll do my level best to look after myself well enough to deliver a show.
