Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19-3-2020: Paddy Fitz

19th March, 2020.

I have to confess: I felt bloody awful, yesterday.

My innards were playing up.

I’ve a range of exciting medical conditions: including recently diagnosed diabetes.

But also … ?   Don’t get enough vitamin D.

Which is why I usually take supplements.

I had to take a lot, yesterday: as my stomach was feeling revolting.

Revolting enough that I got to bed at 6pm.

And had — effectively — 12 hours sleep.

I’m still not feeling completely right.

But a lot better than I was.

Except, possibly, for the inevitable earworm.

Was Not Was’s Semi-interesting Week.

Which seems appropriate, somehow.
