This will be the shortest post ever. I have flu. Seven days after the fever hit, I feel like a bag of mouldy potatoes.
So ill, no voice and horrid rattling lungs. Just wanted to say sorry for the lack of posts and podcasts, and to humbly ask for short story ideas. I thought they could at least be ready and waiting for me when I return from the land of the half-dead.
Pity, soothing words and virtual lemsips also greatly appreciated.
Yours snuffly x

Poor you – take care of yourself x
Ohhhhh. SO sorry about the flu. Pity, soothing words, virtual lemsips, never-ending flasks of tea, hugs and a virtual big cosy fleecy thing to wrap yourself in coming your way. I’ve been missing your online presence. Get well soon.
I’ll have a think about short story topics, too. Back later!
Oh, ugh. Take care, and get well soon!
I hope you are feeling much chirpier soon and that in the meantime you have warm blankies, good veg-out movies to watch, plenty of hot water for soothing showers and baths, and someone doting on you to bring you broth or tea or hankies or whatever makes you feel better.
Get well soon!
(Also: I like cake. I mention this because apparently “get well soon” is below the minimum comment length.)
Awww, sorry about that! Trying to avoid it over here in the States. Hope you are over the worst part by now. I have LOTS OF pity for you, if that helps…
So sorry, Emma! Sending you virtual lemsips, mugs of tea of all kinds, included a big one with spices, another fleecy cosy thing to wrap yourself into, and loads of hankies.
Take care!
Surely a bag of mouldy spuds is the last thing you need right now!
get well soon
Sorry to hear you’re feeling horrid, Emma!
But lovely to see you’re getting lots of TLC … can’t help but smile at the thought of you hidden under a pile of virtual snugglies! At the risk of you over-heating, am sending my favourite cure-all and comforter, my cuddly hot water bottle! And some lavender oil. And my daughter says you should try fresh sage, honey and lemon … she swears by it now, after having flu earlier this year.
Sending a huge hug, too, be gentle with yourself, sweetie!

We all hope you get better soon because you are such a wonderful person!! I feel like such a heel for not getting back to your website earlier, but it has been extremely busy 10 days from the including a visit from my daughter. Sending big hugs and lots of well wishes, for you and your wonderful family!!
Short story ideas you want!! Here goes: All around her everyone was crying but she was laughing!!
He tripped on the pavement and banged his head but when he got up everything seemed different people wearing old fashioned clothes and then he saw the date on the newspaper!!!
He was about to go to bed at 12 midnight, he heard the grandfather clock start to chime but it only chimed 3 times and sure enough it said 3 o’clock.It was too late to fix now he would do it in the morning, but when the next morning he went to fix it it showed the correct time!!!
Sorry for the late reply, hopefully by now you are rearing to go and the tissue box is back on the shelf.
May that for at least a full year, be the last time a bug stops your writing.
Story Idea, When this one came to me the other day I popped it in my journal just for you to chew on. Lots of depth here if you wish to plumb it.
:Near future, cross connection between networks is still expanding exponentially
:Asimo and Honda have spawned a new range of home help robots to care for the elderly and disabled
:A lady diseased and in the later stages of life is given on of these new ‘personal assistants’ to help her life be more bearable.
:The robot has the capability to look on the net for anything that may help it look after its ward or benefit its ward.
:Tireless and naive, by chance this robot finds and cross references research that it employees, treatment which reverses the disease and the effects of aging.
:It’s not long before. . .
I hope you enjoy thinking about this and the potential ramifications, as much as I have, even if you don’t use it.
