Growing old disgracefully

By GOD

HERBAL

Doing a wee course on herbalism at the moment.  

Still haven't found the cure for weariness. Everyone has theories.  My GP thinks it may be lack of exercise, while the Prof thinks I exercise too much. One friend thinks it's just old age while another thinks I'm still in recovery from last year's trauma, while still another says I need to go to a gym and build up my muscles (she's a PE teacher -  she would think that). My theory is that its pernicious anaemia, cos it seems just the same as my mother's experience which happened at the same age and took years to diagnose cos she didn't have the classic slippy tongue symptom.  Most days I'm fine, but some days it feels like I put my foot on the pedal and nothing happens cos there's no petrol in the tank.  My strategy is to get up, get on with it,  work through it, but that can result in becoming rather weak. 

Meanwhile into town today to have lunch with some grand old friends.  Why is it I am the only one who never drinks, but always the most raucous? 

Anyway, off now to sow my chamomile lawn and pick nettle leaves...
