\"\"A bit of a wipeout month. The first few weeks I went down with a virus that made me very weak. I had my left parotid gland swell up like I had mumps. I had dreams of being a child again that I guess were linked to when I had mumps in the 1970s.\u00a0 On several days I came into work but felt rubbish by the afternoon and limped home on the bus. Eventually I gave up and spent a few days just at home to get over it and by the middle of the month I was back to normal. If I were a real marathon monk I’d have maybe killed myself!<\/span><\/p>\n

I still managed to walk in the garden each day I was at work. The autumn colours are stunning.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile in St Andrews Square they started setting up the Christmas ice rink and at the beginning of November even had an army recruitment\/remembrance event! One of my shrines almost lost. It will be good practice to try and see the trees for the beer bierkellers over the next few months.<\/p>\n
