At last a use for twitter...

This is wonderful: http://www.oddee.com/item_96695.aspx

With thanks to chums who have sent me good wishes while I was feeling under par. I am better now thank you, though not quite myself. I guess this is a good point at which to update.

I'm constantly running on a low battery and I don't know why that is. Work is going well, I'm in the studio a lot. It's a double edged sword though, cos my writing is suffering. I would have time if I managed it better...but the energy level thing worries me a bit, cos I'm permanently tired, not just tired, knackered. I come home, I stop. No Flay and DeVille, no Maelstrom, not even TV. I just stop. I still dream, but that's it.

I probably need a holiday, quite a long one, but that's dreaming of course, cos there ain't the money this year, and pusscats can't be left long on their own. See, I'm not even talking about staying at home and watching this ramshackle garden with its growing population of hopelessly cat-toy resembling frogs. I'm talking about something else, for which perhaps a friends only post is appropriate. In the meantime, I'm falling asleep while my hands are still typing...

You realise of course, that unless there has been a complete shift of habits since the Athenaeum Club closed for business, either voluntarily or under the good influence of [livejournal.com profile] larians, you eat too much energy-sapping food such as pond weed and that odd, coarse rice. You need to balance it out with something more substantial!

Ah Spirulina! How often it returns to my nightmares! That was indeed the pinnacle/nadir of my health kick. Long over now because a) we lack a Waitrose and b)
[livejournal.com profile] larians ideas on dining far more resemble your own; chunky, meaty and lots of it! Speaking of which, would you and your lovely lady care to meet up soon for drinkies/eatsomes?

I think drinkies/eaties can be arranged!

I recall we were thinking about the Jerusalem Tavern as a possible venue and a possible inspiration for writing, but as they are only open during the week we postponed until summer.

Well, it appears that we have stumbled into said summer... :-D

Right, I shall collar my hombre this evening and check up dates, and perhaps you could do the same with ?

At the risk of sounding like a universal aunt, are you using a good multi-spectrum supplement with lots of lovely iron in it? I ask because whenever I get completely exhausted it emerges I'm anaemic; though you are probably a lot more capable than me, and don't eat apples, boiled eggs, and noodles for weeks on end without noticing....
