I am sick again - headache coming up from the gland at the back of the ears, sore throat, joint pain and sort of a slicing pain along my muscles - it feels like the flu without the deep bone ache and funnily enough through my ears and throat are affected my nose is for once perfectly clear. I just feel rubbish I can't really say more. Glands are painful and my breathings a bit laboured and odd - like I'm in a steam room or something that sort of damp preassure 
On the plus side my heat rash has dramatically subsided so no more nasty red blisters 
and the itching sores on my legs are gone. I think my immune system just couldnt cope with looking after a Jean whos sick and having very little sleep.
Tomorrow I take Jean to the drs - I feel rough and am not entirely sure how I am going to be able to do this.
I keep getting a strange nusea and going right off of food too which doesn't help as I'm starting to feel week.
The really frustrating thing is though that I really want to sort the house out and feel that every time I turn around a new obstical has been placed in the way
We're back in our house! We just spent the first night back in it...
We've got upstairs cleaned out enough to move back in, but downstairs is still a pile of bags and boxes and furniture, waiting for us to put the furniture into place so we can unload all the stuff onto it.
The plan was simple: borrow Sarah's parent's campervan, drive down on Friday evening to the village where our friends were being married the next day, sleep over, get up in the morning, have a nice breakfast, explore the area a bit, do the wedding, sleep over, then have Sunday to do touristy things with a few of the others who were staying over after the wedding, sleep over, and come back Monday morning.
However, it did not go to plan.

Tuesaday saw numero-uno of my friend Clares Birthday celebrations and so we headed off to South end (of all places) to see Derren Brown. We saw him in London about two years ago when I was still on the crutches - I got hit by a monky that time so Clare got to go up on stage and win £50 off of him which was fantasmigorical as you can imagine.
This time none of us made it onto the stage but the show was fantastic! What with gorrilaz and a truelly spectacular Oricle show that had me wowing - he does he do it? Clare almost took out half the threater with her egerness to put a question in his pot! We really enjoyed the show
However the pre-show meal was a bit of a disastor, they just took too long to bring it out and got the order wronge and in one case brought out something that was inedible ie Lianes cake could smash plates! They are the resturant in the theatre so you'd have thought they would have been better but no we had to leave half our desserts and had no coffee (which was all part of the set meal) and we only just got in for the beginning of the show.
Also poor Al had to do a bit of a marathon to get to us for the meal which he should have been late for but becuase of how they where being we had bearly ordered! Still us girls had a nice wonder around the place and as me and Lianne are obessed with taking photos and neither of us had a camera Clares new camera was getting a good old try out. I'm hoping to see them soon so I can post them up on here
Tonight sees round two of the celebrations - Karyoky mucho mucho fun
Yesturday I went to the Castle climbing centre I was cery nervous as I didn't know if I would even be able to get up onto the bouldering walls from the floor, nor how the pelvis would react to such an activity.
I haven't attempted climbing since the day after our wedding, sure we've taken the scouts climbing a few times but with Jean being there and time constraints etc... we have never managed to have a little climb at such events. I was excited and worried and then too my suprise my body sort of remebered things though I was still pretty dreadful!
First off I refused to try things until we found a stretch of relatively flattish wall with like no one else around using it. I pulled myself onto it and intially had the problem that I always want to go up but once I realised I was supposed to go along thats what I did. Being me though I got a bit confused as there where too many hand holds and foots holds so the first time I went along the wall I just used what ever was handy then Al showed me that the different colours where different hardnesses of route so I did the 4a holds which are basically the easiest and then had a little go at the black holds later on but had to give up with trying them as pelvis had gone click.
My pelvis actually with stood me falling off onto crash matts whilst trying to navagate a tricky corner - Al tended to fall off at this point too. This was in the bit behind the protrusions they've called envy and lust. I did alot of trying to climb round the pink one of those too, again just using any old hand holds! Al said lots of girls tend to climb on that one becuase it is pink - I thumped him. He on the other hand was obessed with getting around using the wooden hand and foot holds on Envy which are apparently 4a's aswell though he had to stretch to do them so I don't know how I could manage them.
I managed another horizontal stretch of boldering wall but alas I tried to do a specific route and basically stretched too wide with my legs resulting in pelvis click. It didn't hurt but I know from bitter experience that once it has clicked it is very easy to make to properlly mobile and therefore painfull once more so I did the thing I find the hardest to do and stopped.
We had a sandwitch in the cafe place and then went back - I was sort of optomistically hoping the pelvis would have settled down but it hadn't so I just helped Al for our second half showing him where the holds where and sorting out the slight issue of why he was getting so breathless whilst climbing - to wit - he was concentrating so hard he was holding his breath and trying to wizz around the bolder before oxygen deprivation got him!
The after math today is that I have slightly acted up the pelvis but my disc (which I acted up on Wednesday probably as I didn't do my normal amount of daily wallking as I had acted up my knee on Monday by us walking from Angel to Highgate) feels alot better and my shoulder has so far really behaved itself much to my joy :). This makes me really happy as I really miss doing all the climbing and stuff and it makes me feel more like me
