crunching the bones

(illness management? Well, I'm glad the Brits can't afford to give us that, so we go around in blissful ignorance until wham! .... Pull yourself back from the verge, quick.)

bone shaking


(It's a system whereby a GP can gauge how someone with a disabling illness a) is coping on their own and/or b) is degenerating to the point of needing full time care. It is supposed to eliminate the situation where someone finds your body five years down the track because you're "home alone".)

(Yes, for my sins, I have COPD. However, in the past twelve months it seems to have plateaued and is more or less under control.)

garden gnome

( Laughing On bad days, just trying to breathe is exercise enough! Ha, ha, ha.
That is not strictly true (as yet, touch wood), it just means for me "five minutes' activity, ten minutes rest". This restricts my activities, but it's a better alternative to no activity at all!)

Manipulators of the world's currencies.
Possibly responsible for more tragedy, pain and misery than any war criminal.

(Yes, basically. I make a point of going to a nearby mall three times a week, grab a shopping trolley and just amble around to get in some walking (and I can rest against the trolley if I need to). Thank heaven for crosswords and the internet! Time for me to go and get some dinner. See you later!)

Cannot think of ANYTHING that goes with Zurich
