Loved this, Terry! I have got the most fantastic mental image in my head of you and Minty - or is it Mocha? - BOTH sheltering under that towel as 'loads of fruit, yoghurt, probiotic capsules, multivits, and two lots of antibiotics' are being thrown at you. I do hope you're feeling better.

The medieval help desk video is FANTASTIC!!! For me it's tinged with a little sadness, though - I've now lost count of the number of children I've seen trying to swipe the pages of ACTUAL books and magazines sideways to try to turn the page....! 🙄😕

Thanks, Rebecca. It was Minty, because Mocha and I are no longer on squeaking terms. I'm afraid that sometimes, after a prolonged period of reading on a Kindle, I, too, have tried to swipe the pages.

Oh golly, why's Mocha in the doghouse, Terry? Hope this blip in your relationship is a brief one!

The skull emoji doesn't bode well, Terry. Thanks in advance for the two sleepless nights I'm going to spend worrying about Mocha until I read your update on Monday. 😡

Hope you’re feeling better soon, Terry. It sounds miserable (plus, I want to hear your musical prowess).

Thanks, Bryn. Yeah, it just won't go. It almost goes, and then suddenly gets resurrected, a bit like the Conservative Party. "Prowess"? 😂 OMG are you going to be disappointed!

Hooray you're back, and hooray x 2 that you've set comments back to unpaid folks. I thought you were blocking me and didn't want my comments . . . . 😬 Love the pic with the towel and your cat, btw. 😁. Love the videos, too, and yes yes yes please share a video of you playing the saxophone. Will you wear sunglasses when you do so? Hope you feel better and better every single day.

Thanks, Mary. Shades? My glasses are photochromic, so I'd have to play outdoors for them to go dark, in which case I'd be arrested by the noise abatement people

Some fun videos. And yes, like any social media we need to curate our experience or we get overwhelmed and lose the advantages. Get Well Soon.

Exactly, Beth. Thanks!

Yeah, you have to be able to comment, or you've lost a reader. Or gained a subscriber, but I rather doubt that works : ) Cheers

I would read about your experience with TM with interest precisely because you are not anyone special in the world of TM. I would expect it to be both clearly informative and amusing.

Nobody special? 🤣🤣🤣 I know what you mean though, Jeanne. In fact, I'm in some ways the least credible advocate because I have nothing to do with the TM movement at all!

Get well soon! We will be across the proverbial pond in your neck of the woods end of the month for spring break and hoping we stay healthy🤞🏼. Yes man is indeed the key to marital longevity;)

I’d love that, Terry! How about you email me your phone no—Prabhala.anu@gmail.com. It’s just a matter of finding a mutually convenient time!
