Coughs, Cakes and Codeine

How odd is the human body?  Not just mine!

I had to take Thursday as a "work from home day" as Mastr Jnr Old had an adverse intestinal reaction to something.  How the body induces such extreme reactions and yet  so successfully recovers and restores absolutely amazes me.  Apparently a combination of flat coke and ginger biscuits significantly helps the recovery too!

Anyways, while off on Thursday, I was cooking some lunch and simply coughed.  Nothing out of the ordinary most times, but this time "OUCH".  Something in my lower back let loose and really hurt.  Now, this has happened before and been OK.  Other times, it has involved extensive osteopathy.  To cut a long story short, I have just got back from the out of hours doc who has very kingly prescribed me a course of Codeine to help reduce the pain!  Praying for a quick recovery on this one; a similar recovery time to Jnr would be good!!!

As for the cakes, Mrs O has been a busy bunny again today, creating another masterpiece of bakery for our 'not-so-little-any-more' lady who celebrated 10 yrs on this wonderful planet last week.10 Fab years I must add.  The cake is one chosen by the little lady herself and is a house-shaped design, absolutely COVERED in sweet things; icing, dolly mixtures, jelly tots; boiled sweets, lollipos and oh, did I mention the icing???

I'll let you know about the sugar rush another time.
