Sorry for missing Friday

Yes my cold is back with a vengence !! last night after getting home the most I could do was have some water and then get an early night. The cold I thought I had got rid of over last weekend had just been having a work day holiday and hit me hard again. Today has been better partly because I went to the local Pharmacy and bought some Benylin for sore throats and dry coughs... which I have been merrily swigging from through out the day, its been replaced by a beer tonight but will take more Benylin before bed.

In my short walk today I took a couple of pictures one of an electrical engineering preparing to go up and repair or check some equipment. He was kitted out with ropes for climbing and leather thigh supports so he could climb the pole, as you can see in the picture he is a couple of feet off the ground, but look up and wonder to yourself.. Would you go up there.. I am pretty damn sure I wouldn't !!!! Electricity in Bogota is about as well organised as their road surfaces. Blink at your own risk.

The other picture just seemed right, here was a family who had had their mattress refoamed at the local cushion and foam shop. How do you get the mattress home No Problema tie it to the top of your trusty VW Beetle from 1963 or there abouts and head back through the streets of Bogota.

And with these two pictures.. I am off to bed, another early night with a good swig of benylin and the hope tomorrow is a step on the way to a full recovery.
