My Fault?

I am getting very little pain this week, and Alistair's flu was all over in a day or so and he was back at school and full of the joy of life. However he has infected me with cold/sinus problems. As a Brit I normally ignore these things, after all my mother used to say that they would take about seven days to pass completely but if you see a doctor it can be cured in a week.
However it is pretty grungy and I have given in to my wife's plea and seen a doctor and am having a day off. She is off at a tennis tournament with Japanese friends and no doubt will claim that any failure to win was caused by her worry for me.
It is true that since having a third of the bowel cut out in an emergency operation (hence the regular pain) I have not the stamina to resist bugs well and lack of sleep or being attacked by even such a minor thing as a cold drags me down. But to get the blame if Alice does not play her best is quite another thing! We poor old husbands have to take lot, don't we?

Hi Mike. My name is Patrick and I live in Kuala Lumpur. I was surfing around and came across you hidden behind the "next blog" button on the top right hand corner. I was surprised to find someone who's in the same age group. I was beginning to get rather bored reading the drivel that are on blogs by kids. Fat, balding and struggling unsuccessfully against aging about describes me too. LOL.

I'm an actor and the last time I was exploited was in Singapore when I did a tv series for MedicaCorp:-) My fav place for beer is ICE COLD, Emerald Hill (?) But that's because I don't know any other place except the American Club. Hey, if you like jazz go check out a couple of my friends at South Bridge. David and Junji. They're good.

Pax,
