I hadn&#8217;t been feeling so good for much of the day &#8211; probably a delayed reaction to my medical treatment &#8211; and last night I was having the most excruciating stomach cramps. I found it very hard to drop off to sleep, and when I did, I was awoken with a horrible stabbing pain. And that&#8217;s how I&#8217;ve been for much of the morning too, although it did ease off round about lunchtime.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing however had prevented me from going on another nocturnal ramble. This time though, we&#8217;ll turn our attention back to the late 1920s. Not many people know this of course but Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret had a younger brother. However he was something like Prince John, kept out of public life because of his behaviour (although this is, I admit, being rather unkind to Prince John in real life) and young ladies, mainly of the serving classes, were sent to &#8220;entertain&#8221; him. And I was the &#8220;product&#8221; of one of these irregular unions. This gave me unrivalled power on the back stairs of Court and I was regularly being approached by The Powers That Be to handle situations that required delicacy and discretion but with which the official Royal Family did not wish to become involved. Yes, it certainly was quite exciting, that&#8217;s for sure.<\/p>\n<p>I had an early breakfast &#8211; finished long before the alarm went off, and then I tried to do a few things here and there but ended up crashing out for an hour or so. I managed a walk to the shops too and stocked up with lunch items, seeing as how I&#8217;ve run right out.<\/p>\n<p>This afternoon I haven&#8217;t done too much because I&#8217;m still not feeling 100% right now. Although I had a lengthy chat with Liz this afternoon, as well as crashing out yet again. But I managed a shower, a shave, clean clothes and the like as well as doing some tidying up, for I&#8217;ve been out gallivanting with Alison tonight and we put the world to rights for hours.<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m back home, feeling a little better than I did last night, and I won&#8217;t be awake for long. I&#8217;m off to bed.<\/p>\n<p>But <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/uk-politics-36733979\" target=\"_blank\">in other news<\/a>, the B Liar says that the World is a better place because of the Iraq War. You try telling that to the hundreds of thousands of civilians who have been massacred this last few years, including the hundreds who have been killed this last couple of days. How can anyone believe anything that this monster is telling us? If he has anything to say, he should save it for his War Crimes trial, although the way the British Establishment is, he&#8217;ll never make it to the Hague.<\/p>\n<p>And in yet more news, hats off to Connahs Quay Nomads of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.welshpremier.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Welsh Premier League<\/a>, who beat Stabaek tonight in Norway in order to progress to the Second Round of the Europa League.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-6696 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='6696' data-nonce='7c24c8a56a' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-6696 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-6696 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='6696' data-nonce='7c24c8a56a' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Unlike' \/><span class='unlc-6696 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-6696 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; when I was awoken this morning, but that&#8217;s being just a little economical with the truth as I had quite a bad night last night.
