The man did not come back but the migraine did and KO'd me for all yesterday, meaning we had to cancel last night's meet up with friends. Annoying. I woke up with the edge of it not long ago. I wish I still had some of the pills they gave me after the op, the ones they warned me not to take unless things got intense. Things did so I did. Result; I am stuck with strong but ordinary painkillers rather than stuff that will send me to the moon.

As I write now, while there is nothing happening beyond a mild ache which hopefully will go away fast. I will walk this morning if I can. The success of my diet relies on me exercising as opposed to impersonating The Death of Chatterton in my front room.

Good dream though. I met Rex Harrison, we had been working on some project, but I have no memory of it. We were walking along and he told me in a very gentlemanly way that if we continued to spend time together, he would begin to have feelings for me/had begun to have feelings for me, something like that. So we parted, and I walked back to where I was staying. It was all thoroughly autumnal, and as I went in, I saw the hallway (which seemed to be in the basement somehow) was full of bicycles parked underneath people's people's coats, but leaves had blown in from the outside, very red and beautiful. Then I realised that I had been in Vietnam (?) for three months and it was time to go. I saw my mother, we were going to eat together and were discussing how to prepare the food delicately. She had no time for Rex's behaviour though, and raised her eyebrows in disapproval when told about it.

What a good dream! Your mother's instincts in the dream are probably correct as wikipedia's description of his romantic life made it seem fraught.

Here's hoping that you've met your migraine quota for the year. It's always awful when they boomerang back.
