A real shame

A chest infection has laid me low so I had to miss the two Khmer Arts Ensemble performances at their Takhmao headquarters last night and tonight. A real shame for sure. These classical dance shows are so irregular that it hurts to miss the opportunity. They were performing Ream Eyso & Moni Mekhala in celebration of next week's Khmer New Year. I'd found it almost impossible to get to see a doctor yesterday and had to make do with a visit to a pharmacy for a bagful of tablets, the Khmer way of dealing with any kind of health problem. The more tablets the better. My dry coughing is giving me a splitting headache, so even more tablets required for that. I did get out to football this afternoon and will try again tomorrow but aside from that, I'm stuck indoors, feeling sorry for myself, of course.
