Still on that boat…

Strawberry blonde in a dizzy world!

Shoot from the lip…

This weekend I headed out for cocktail’s with Soph and her friend Rosie. It turned out to be a poetry night at the bar that we had got comfy in. We had good seats (granny armchairs) so nothing was going to deter us!

After a couple of ‘Blossoms’ (vodka, elderflower, lemon and ginger beer – not Sophie’s rabbit!) we were serenaded with poetry. One lady read a poem made up entirely from phrases used in the latest edition of the Betterware catalogue which was interesting. We were then asked by another poet to chant ‘milk circles cheese ring’ and similar such phrases back. Yes, several more cocktail’s were required before I could find my inner poet!

So here we go (this has to be read gangster rap style):

Out with the girls having some laughs

Drinking cocktail’s with names wot were daft

Having a good giggle with Soph and Rosie

Our conversation so funny other people were being nosy

Got a (relatively) new dress

Shame my hair’s still a mess

Must use the straighteners less

Anyway, I digress

Poetry night was a bit random

So we drank cocktails with wild abandon

Had one too many ‘Clover Clubs’ – raspberry, lemon and gin

Poetry makes more sense with several cocktails in…side

    I do like ur rap,
    It sounds kinda kewl,
    Reminds me of playtime,
    When I was ins skool,
    When you says its gangsta,
    Well that’s just your choice,
    I thinks it sounds gooder,
    In my Somerset voice!

    Brilliant! It made me laugh – I would have loved the evening, though perhaps that has more to do with the liquid refreshments???

    Nor do I but I’d written it down to remember it as it was so random!

Hi, My name is Susan and in 2010 I suddenly got very sick with vertigo and extreme fatigue. My life as I knew it changed forever. I had to leave my job as a junior Doctor to move back home with my family as I was unable to look after myself, let alone other people. It took a very long time, about 2644 doctors visits and ALL the tests to be told ‘congratulations, all your results are normal there is nothing wrong with you’, which was the most devastating news of all as there clearly WAS something horribly wrong, we just could not identify it.

 

Eventually, I was diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease which was great news as I finally had a reason to feel so ill. That was until I realised that there is no real recognised treatment and I was once again left to trying to navigate debilitating symptoms alone. More doctors, more tests, protocol after debilitating protocol and plenty of ‘ah ha’ moments later I finally started to heal. It was quite the journey and I have learnt a lot about what treatments are out there, and perhaps more importantly, the body’s amazing capacity to heal. I am now in a position where I want to help others to reclaim their health.
