a little bit of bay leaf simmering in your bolognese sauce is awesome... put too much in and it's overpowering and awful, but otherwise it adds an oomph that's just yum.

If you're only going to wear a wig and a couple of seashells instead of decent warm clothes - what do you expect 😇
Hope you feel better soon.

I think I'd start having a small panic attack if I had a migraine these days... not as young as I once was and haven't at points lived the healthiest of life styles... but I'd be wondering if it was "just" a migraine or panic it could be the start of a stroke or something... 😱

Migraines are definitely up there with tooth ache and back pain though :(
Thankfully not had one in ages now and they're not frequent... although they do really screw you up for a day/two.
Suffered from them terribly in my teens for some reason...
Hope you start to feel back to "normal" soon 🤞

I only ever got to play a Seymour Goes to Hollywood demo from a covertape (might have been YS). Wasn't terrible but definitely a constant feeling that Dizzy had let himself go a bit... 😀
