....Got a license to..........

.....fish........

This is my new 2001 Fishing permit, and I'm blipping it for only one reason. Since I joined the committee I've been 013 membership. This year for some strange reason, my number has changed.........but I can't complain.....because this year I'm .......007.

Don't expect me to go fishing in a tuxedo though, although I might be able to get some new gadgets, if Q (the Boss) says it's alright.

For the first time in more than 30 years the Boss and I slept in seperate rooms voluntarily last night....so my hacking cough wouldn't keep her awake.

It worked too, she slept a full 9 and a half hours.....and woke refereshed and ready to face the world.

Me? Oh, I woke up coughing about 5 times, came downstairs at one point and watched three quarters of a Jackie Chan movie before falling asleep in the chair, so I missed the end.

So the Boss and I have gone on the attack today, no smoking for me, whisky, lemon juice , honey and hot water to drink (several times), wrapped up warm, two enforced snoozes and a bottle of the "most powerful over the counter cough suppressant". So far. so good, hardly any coughing, a nice warm glow and starting to feel human again.

Now........I wonder............would a cig undo all that good work?

Das vidanya.
