Rest up - take care of yourself like you were one of your kids - listen to your body and DON'T listen to Seymour! ... you could never be that sick! ... I'm not convinced he was actually born of woman :/

Definitely think this should be investigated. There is no precedent for a cyborg as deputy pm. (I moved this so it replies where I meant it to go.)

Indeed - his origins appear to be the laboratory that also manufactured van Velden, that twisted rhino-lipped grimace of his smile shows an ongoing design flaw that affects the frozen features of the van V model.

People say lots of water but really its lots of fluid. I always find schweppes dry lemonade or a ginger beer (slightly flat) more quaffable than water when down with flu. In the evening may I suggest a hot lemon, honey and ginger drink with the possible addition of a small dram.

Take care, rest well

I empathise Nick. I have Covid this week, much improved today but the onslaught of the snot and cough phase is very annoying. Just glad its now and not next week as I'm about to travel to Europe and UK. Extremely good episode. Thank you

Get well soon Nick! I smiled when I caught sight of Seymour’s haircut session as my partner watched the news. I’d have cut him a reverse Mohawk then done a runner!

Crikey! Seymour is definitely missing an empathy gene, what a fuckwit! We give him far too much airtime imo. ..

Oh and I love Riana Te Ngahue! She speaks so sensibly.

Take care Nick, rest up, I am smitten too, its no fun. 🤧

Is Riana only on Tik Tok? I see her reels on Facebook every now and then, but don’t do Tik Tok 😓

Leonie's avatar

I think so. I just tune into hers.

I have the same problem. Riana is great!

Travel well my friend. I've never met you, but from your writing, I consider you a soul mate

Rest well Nick, the words will wait and the circus will still be in full swing when you're recovered!

Warm healing hugs to you!

Get better soon. Sleep, fluids, and Panadol. Flu is awful

Rest, rest, and more rest Nick. Ignore the news and focus on positive, soothing things.

I'm sorry you're sick. The flu is apparently very bad this year. Don't worry about posting until you're well.

Take care of you and yours. Arohanui

Take care - make sure you get plenty of sleep

That’s a bit of a bummer Nick. You’re probably feeling like shit at the moment, so I suggest that to all the remedies offered so far, you add a splash of cognac to ease it down and kill the taste. That ain’t going to work, is it?

A couple of good news reports that hopefully will cheer you up….

Federal Trade Court has given Trump 10 days to cancel all his illegal tariffs as his demands were above his pay scale.

Elon is leaving to take more time to play with his exploding rockets.

Hope that helps, all the best😀

Look after yourself! Do not rush things. Ordure will still be heading fan-wards when you get back.
