In the last of these I had played Bg5 and the oppo then played e7-e5. I missed Be7 winning the exchange. It was time for a break for a few days after that.<br />AndrewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37675897.post-16833299782264623182012-02-22T20:07:14.452+00:002012-02-22T20:07:14.452+00:00David, sounds like you had it much worse than me. ...David, sounds like you had it much worse than me. I didn't end up near a hospital or any formal medical help. I just shivered a lot, puked a lot then lay rather listlessly re-watching Generation Kill on DVD.<br /><br />I went back to work today after a couple of days off. Probably a day too early but I was really bored. Should be back to full fitness by Friday, glad you're on mend too.<br /><br />Weird we should have such similar experiences though.Jonathan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00293162543015231439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37675897.post-39705639474430103612012-02-22T18:07:20.023+00:002012-02-22T18:07:20.023+00:00Dear God!

Really hope all is well. <br /><br />I was seriously ill four weeks back, delerious, delusional and hospitalised. As they scrambled to plug me into wires, machines and stuff, I asked them to stop a minute - I needed to tell them something. The medics paused as I haltingly gasped "don't play ...Bd6; it loses. Promise me!" They looked at each other, nodded knowingly, and got to work.<br /><br />I'm not kidding; that's how it went. Hence I can scarcely believe what Jonathan has written. I'm fine now. Hope he is soon.David Rnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37675897.post-85328196383428538552012-02-22T09:18:48.945+00:002012-02-22T09:18:48.945+00:00The sanctuary and safety of the closed lopez eh.The sanctuary and safety of the closed lopez eh.Tom Chivershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09850710685193416732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37675897.post-34946266561823565262012-02-22T09:16:07.779+00:002012-02-22T09:16:07.779+00:00On a kind of related note, I was visiting someone ...On a kind of related note, I was visiting someone in hospital the other week - I took the stairs to get to the ward, but used the lift to get back down. Southampton General Hospital uses letters for its floors, so when I got to the main reception level, the automated voice said "C floor".<br /><br />Which I thought was an OK move, but I'm more of an E floor person myself...David Fowlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14639353485951805411noreply@blogger.com
