COLD DARK ROOM

ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!
Pardon ?
Sorry, I was asleep.
Tiring day today.
Do you think it's the long journeys to work?

I don't think so. It's been going on for a couple months now. I wake up exhausted and it gets worse. I have a doctors appointment for it on Monday. Ben's been getting worried. Did you enjoy new town today?

As usual I agree with Ben, i'd be worried too.
Good luck with that on Monday, fingers crossed it's something easily diagnosed and sorted.
Yes, surprised myself by quite liking it, for a change.
Tired me out though; I get breathless so easily.

Thank you I bet you do have a hard time catching your breath. Do they give you supplemental oxygen?

No, no, I'm okay as long as I take it easy and rest for a bit.
i still managed long walks and some light rock climbing for 3 hours in nearly 40° in Gibraltar, which pleased me a lot.
I'm ok as long as I don't go too quickly or have to carry much, especially uphill.

It was a French student called Ernest Duchesne

You get the points.
Ernest was a Frenchman who watched a lot of Arab stable boys rubbing things into their thighs.
He noticed that what they rubbed, to get rid of saddle sores was the mold on the side of the saddle.
The Bedouin of Arabia had been doing this for a thousand years and were then observed by Duchesne, who wrote a very lengthy letter about it, submitted it to The Pasteur Institute in France, who never even acknowledged the receipt of the letter.This was 1896, thirty two years before Alexander Fleming's rediscovery.
He died aged 37 in 1912, completely uncelebrated and it was only in 1949, 5 years after Fleming received his Nobel prize that Duchesne was posthumously awarded with the discovery. Ironically his wife and then he, died of TB, and penicillin might have saved them.

Me too, and even more if there are fossils in the rocks to be had.

Good morning Ed. Raining back there? Here it is still nice and hot, with temp to reach 33 deg C today.

Sorry that power was out. Is it back? It happens here often during Winter, so I bought a torch for such 'emergencies.'
