Monday Swahili Death Flu Roundup
True story — I was all set to write about good music this week and then I got sledgehammered Sunday by some virulent strain of Swahili Death Flu (what I am affectionately calling it) and ended up literally laying on my bathroom floor instead, for many hours. I just returned from the ER where I got pumped full of shiver-inducingly cold IV fluids and injected with anti-nausea stuff.
The best part of the visit may have been the desk clerk guy who remained hidden from my view but often belted out Kinks songs with great vigor. It’s the little things in life, you know?
More later.
Name: Heather Browne
I hope you’re feeling better Heather! I know there’s some bad stuff going around these days.

Get well soon Heather. This old man’s only had proper ‘flu once, but I know how bad it can be.
Love your blog. My favourite read and listen of the day. You’ve pointed me to some fine music over the last year or two.

Heather
Sorry to hear about your trip to the hospital. It’s one trip no one like to take.
Hope you feel better soon.
At least you had the karaoke stylings of Ray Davies to help ease your aching bones while you waited.

I’ve heard a whole lot of distressing news about Flus, I hope you won’t let it get to you. Remember that happy thoughts are one huge leap towards good health (here’s some of mine).
I hope you’ll get better soon, or I shall miss you greatly.
Kind regards,

Hope you feel better Heather. Try these Kinks songs ” Have a Cuppa Tea” or “Afternoon Tea” to get some relief.

Feel better

Feel better Heather. Have you ever read Ray Davies sorta autobiography “X-Ray”? Interesting read (it’s a book only Ray Davies would write) and you can probably breeze through it by the time you get better.
Cheers –
Scott
