Boy Scout Gallantry Medal - Gilt Cross - Details of recipient.
Got up, moped around, made a cup of tea. It really wasn't a great start to the day. I can't shake off a feeling of generally feeling under the weather. That's in addition to the similar feeling that my life is becoming uncontrollably chaotic, and that I am doomed. Do you remember that cartoon where Winnie the pooh is followed round by a raincloud? It's like that, and even that charming picture is somewhat marred by the fact that I have, over the years, ceased to resemble the heroic figure of a Greek god and have come, more and more, to resemble a lumpy child's toy with questionable stuffing. Life can be cruel.
Then, I seemed to wake up. Well, to be accurate, I did actually wake up, as I'd fallen asleep whilst watching Extreme Fishing with Robson Green and eating cheese on toast. After brushing off the crumbs, I felt seized by the desire to take control of my life. I made a blood test appointment, a vaccination appointment, renewed a membership and claimed a gift voucher that I'd won. Yes, I agree that the words "hive of industry" may not be required in this paragraph, but compared to the last week or two this is an impressive amount of things ticked off my list. I then did a couple more things i'd been meaning to do. That vague description covers something medical, involving discomfort. I'm currently typing with blurred vision as my eyes are still watering.
I've just had another article published on the coin society Facebook page. It's not much of an achievement, as there are only two of us doing stuff for it, but it's keeping my writing going. Here is the link. It helps keep numbers up if people click on the link, and encourages the editor, so if you can visit, it would be appreciated. It's the one about the Boy Scout Gallantry Cross, which is also pictured here.
