Health/Exercise update

Alas this aging frame of mine was struck down by a virus, I started having lower energy levels 2 weeks ago, about 4 June. It is true that as you age your resilience is diminshed. I thought that I was simply tired, expecting that my trip to Sydney to visit my favourite nephew and his young family would provide a complete break from my usual routinue and thus refreshment. This was not the case and by the following Thursday I had to spend 5 days resting. My symptoms were aching limbs, headache, sore eyes, blocked ears, runny nose, desire to sleep about 18 hours a day BUT no fever

With all the publicity about Swine Flu I received many entertaining emails and posts on FaceBook from friends wondering if I felt a strong inclination to “roll in the mud”! I went back to work for half a day on Monday but it was too soon. Yesterday I managed to work with energy levels at about 85%. This morning I plan a short swim, experience has shown that immersing in H2O can sometimes help with head colds.

We’ll see!
