N, so sorry you are sick, too. I hate to tell you, but it gets worse. Now it is all congestion in my head, my nose would not stop running last night, and I feel totally weak. My son and sister reported same symptoms a few weeks back. I did go to doctor and got an antibiotic - who knows it that will work?
I could not sleep last two nights, too restless and achy, so I ended up reading a book - "Brave New World" - read it yrs ago, quite interesting. Does anyone know - did they ever make a movie out of it? It sure would be a good one. I wondered, too, if the book "Island" by Audoux Huxley was made into a film. There was a film out about 2 yrs ago with Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson; it was sci-fi futuristic, also. Was this film based on Huxley's book, anyone know?
I thought "A River Runs Through It" was a fine film and I found the relationship of the two boys and the father so touching, as well. I really love the film the more I think of it. It took me years to see it, I thought it would not be very good, but I was certainly way off in my predictions....a terrific film with good performances by all. Must have been something on a big screen. Scenes on the river were lovely. Glad you liked it, too, Niamh.
I will try to watch a film tonight. I am bored being sick.
