You’ll be glad to know, I’m sure, that I’m feeling a lot better. I’m certainly pleased about it, I can tell you, and I’m feeling stronger by the day. Hoorah. The ten days or so I was sick seem a bit of a haze now – I don’t think I was all that with it some of the time. Still, I’m feeling good again, back to Tai Chi of a morning, and back to work as of yesterday.

One contributing factor in my recovery has so far, shamefully, gone unrecognised, and I feel I ought to correct that right now. You see Amul, purveryors of ice-cream to the sub-contintent, make these:

As you can see, the health benefits of the Amul Chocobar are many and varied. Not only is it Probiotic, it has other, more specific, benefits too:

These would be foolish to ignore, as I’m sure any doctor would agree. I have, therefore, over the past few days, been aiding my recovery in the areas of immune system, osteopathy and, not least, making my brain bigger, by eating at least one of these a day. Having lost a bit of weight I can afford the fat and calories, discreetly tucked away on a (very small) panel on the back. All this and it’s political, too: see, it’s pro-life? Well, everyone has a right to choose I guess. And I choose Amul Chocobar – it’s good for you!

In other news, we’ve been having some fairly spectacular thunderstorms here, with more rain, which is welcome. Last night’s lightning show was pretty special, even if it did blow all the fuses. Again. Great entertainment, assuming one isn’t standing under a large pylon or something daft. With or without an ice-cream.
