The noble headache

Some of them are.

Mine is.

Audrey Niffenegger
It's the sort of headache you get when you cut alcohol and caffeine from your diet. You should try it. If you're a masochist.

It's a dull, thumping, constant ache, quite debilitating, but two good things about it:
  1. I know it won't last 
  2. I can feel self-satisfied about it because the reasons behind it are so  jolly HEALTHY
Nothing worse than a smug headache martyr.

There is one topic peremptorily forbidden to all well-bred, to all rational mortals, namely, their distempers.

If you have not slept, or if you have slept, or if you have headache, or sciatica, or leprosy, or thunder-stroke, I beseech you, by all angels, to hold your peace, and not pollute the morning.

I take your point, Ralph Waldo Emerson

But I DO have a terrible headache...


Also self-inflicted. This time by NOT drinking any alcohol or caffeine or eating any dairy products (the first two since Friday night, the last since yesterday lunchtime) and instead partaking of organic fruit juices, brown rice and herbal teas.

Vitality diet? Yeah right.

The good news: I finished 'The Last Assassin' and sent it off to the producer. Apparently 'everyone loved it' and there's a shoot date planned for March 23rd. Here's the provisional poster:


In the meantime...mind if I just go and lie down?

“I'm very brave generally, he went on in a low voice: only today I happen to have a headache.”

...said Tweedledum.

(I do love the original illustrations - by Tenniel - but I must say, I'm very partial to the Tim Burton film characters.)


That aside, most of yesterday and last night and this morning I've had a crashing headache. Not even with the pleasure beforehand of drinking a few glasses of Prosecco!


I have to keep writing though. Be brave. Drink lots of water. Don't drink lots of coffee.

I REALLY can't wait to finish my screenplay. It's as though my whole life's a bit on hold until it's complete. I'm imagining I'll have so much time on my hands afterwards....
