GOING COLD TURKEY.. GULP!

WHAT! Ugh.. please don't all shout at once.. she may be deaf but I am not. Oh! I've got it. You think she's coming off drugs? Well, you're right and the withdrawal symptoms are not going to be pleasant, I can assure you.

For she always drinks two cups of very strong black coffee in the morning but from now, Dear Readers, she won't. Let me tell you what happened today in order for her to stop drinking her daily brew of Vellutto Nero.

After a very pleasant lunch with Hilary, who has more letters after her name than most people and who was a British Army doctor (Psychiatrist), she took herself off to Baldwins on the Walworth Road to get Tincture of Myrrh, yes, Myrrh just like what one of the Three Wise Men gave to Mary.

And went next door to speak to the manager, Tim, about something, somehow the conversation turned to digestion. She said something about having to have yet another Colonoscopy in November and Tim, quick as a flash, said "Do you drink proper coffee?" she replied "yes", his response was quite shocking "Stop immediately, for it is seriously not good for you if you have any digestive problems. It interferes with your natural rhythm and destroys 70% of any supplement, or goodness from food or pro-biotic that you are taking".

Now, Dear Readers, if it had been anyone else, she'd have put an agreeable look upon her face, made the right noises and scampered out of the shop as fast as her long legs could take her, but this was Tim, a knowledgeable man who knows a huge amount about stuff and taking care of your body.

So tomorrow folks, I am glad to say she has an appointment at ten of the morning clock and has to be out of the house.

Now.. last night at the ESU.. it was far too exciting to spill it all here, it needs its' own post and I'll give it one but not tonight. I am tired and we have an early start tomorrow. We wish you well wherever you may be, remember to always walk on the sunny side of the street and remember to be grateful for what you have in your life.

We have: clean running water, food, a roof over our heads, a dry bed, a bit of money, a few friends. I have her and she has me.

GeeGee Parrot.
