Derailed by a pie
Blogging from bed today. It was all going so well - a weekend of fun and friends and a bracing walk and all that sort of stuff. The Ibis is all lubed and shock pressures checked for a final afternoon ride - and then I get struck down by lightning food poisoning - or something.
The culprits could either be the meat pie I had for lunch yesterday, or the mushroom risotto on Sunday. I always used to be allergic to mushrooms in my childhood and had feared them ever since, but in the last year I’d tried welcoming them into my life, with some success - or had I? Who knows? There was certainly none of either in my system by the end of last night…
I’ll certainly continue to fear mushrooms, but then I’ll probably fear meat pies too. But how about a mushroom pie? Would that be the worst combination? Or would the two evils balance themselves out and make a positive pie?
I’m obviously rambling now. I’ll go back to sleep and see you all in the office in the morning! 
Edit Office consensus is that it must have been the re-warmed steak pie. And Sim says that CSI Todmorden would agree the mushroom poisoning would have taken effect much sooner. Glad that’s sorted then. And as you’ll see above, my appetite is back.

I am only quite offended ;]
