I deleted my comment because I thought I was being too negative and whiny, didn't realise someone had already seen it. In reality things are better today cos I've been able to keep an anti-nausea pill down (seems counter intuitive that this stuff is in pill form).

In better news a morepork has started hanging out in a neighbourhood tree again, meaning we get sweet sounds for ages at night.

As post author I get notified of replies, and I was already on lemmy and noticed the notification come in as soon as you replied 🙂

I'm mostly down to a lingering cough thing, so not too bad. A bit more tired than usual perhaps, but sometimes it's hard to tell what's normal 😆

Haha reminds me of a post I saw the other day saying how funny it is that the treatment for ADHD is to take a pill at the same time every day

That's really cool. Sometimes we hear them when visiting my mum. Also peacocks, which are a bit... creepier?

That's right, you have the "90 day cough". Has it been more than 90 days?

Peacocks do have that one cry that sounds exactly like a woman yelling "help"!

Nah just a couple of weeks maybe? I hope I don't still have 76 more days to go!

Haha yeah, it's the kind of thing that people don't believe you when you tell them it's a peacock!

True! Until I met them I had always imagined they would have a beautiful "song"...

They also like to take part in the dawn chorus, which is pretty rough if you're sleeping nearby.
