Tummy Bugs

Both Trish and I have been hit with a nasty tummy bug. My episode began early Thursday and I was ill for several days. Yesterday (Sunday) was the first day I began to feel reasonably OK. I lost about 5 kgs. Then Sunday evening Trish begins to feel nauseous and is quite ill for several hours. Today she is in bed reading with a "I have been hit by a truck!" feeling.

I lived on "Imodium" for two or three days while Trish says the first thing she lost was the anti-nausea tablet she took. It is saving us money though in alcohol and food!

First decent rain for about 3 weeks with 20 mls overnight. Today's max is a cloudy 25 and very mild for this time of year.

The Appznet download site is offline again at the moment. Hopefully it will be back again soon!

I got the joke below from 'Keith'. It tickled my sense of humour.

Enjoy!

A man and his wife are awakened, at 3 o'clock in the morning by a loud pounding on the door. The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push.
"Not a chance," says the husband, "it is 3 o'clock in the morning!"
He slams the door and returns to bed.
"Who was that?" asked his wife.
"Just some drunk guy asking for a push," he answers.
"Did you help him?" she asks.
"No, I did not, it is 3 o'clock in the morning and it is pouring out there!"
"Well, you have a short memory," says his wife. "Can't you remember, about three months ago when we broke down, and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself!"
The man does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out into the pounding rain.
He calls out into the dark, "Hello, are you still there?"
"Yes" comes back the answer.
"Do you still need a push?", calls out the husband.
"Yes, please!" comes the reply from the dark.
"Where are you?" asks the husband.
"Over here on the swing!", replies the drunk.
