I had the worst headache last night.
I cannot stand having headaches. I have a no pain threshold, and headaches rank number two in my most hated pains, just after stubbing my toe. I have delicate feet.
So last night all I could do was lay on the couch and moan quietly to myself, so as not to rattle my poor brain too much.
I often get these very strong headaches, thank goodness they stop short of a full blown migraine though. They are caused by a drop in blood sugar levels, and if I allow myself to feel even the faintest trace of hunger, on one comes. It's is a pain in the bottom, because like a lot of people, I find food very hard to face in the mornings.
So there I lay yesterday, prostrate on the couch with the boys very kindly tiptoeing about, and only occasionally jumping very gently on mummy. I managed to make them some fried eggs on toast for dinner, and five minutes after scoffing that down Luka asked me, "Mum, can we have that for dinner?" We were watching Jamie Oliver's 30 minute meal show. Although 30 minute meals with an unlimited budget should be the actual name of the show.
"Umm, the eggs on toast were dinner matey".
He just looked at me... eggs on toast are obviously not dinner in his 5 year old book.
So anyway, I went to bed at 7.30 and am feeling ridiculously chipper today. And to add to my chippyness, the most fabulous thing has happened, the red dragonfruit has finally decided to break its 3 month silence, and grow.
Fly little dragon, fly.

Glad to hear you are feeling better, Young Ali. wonderful photo...again!
Ah! Ze Dragon Fruit she iz fruiting! :-) My cuttings taken in October from Jacqui's are finally getting roots, no thanks to anything I did for them.
Headaches ... might depend a bit on what they are from but I have found drinking copious draughts of water to ease if not banish headaches. In fact drinking water also helps constipation and indigestion to name two as well low blood pressure is often helped with lots of water. We need far more water to maintain all our physical processes than you'd imagine. Try a squeeze of lemon or orange juice in it to give you some variety from just scoffing plain water.
It's about time hey Elaine! I can't take any credit for mine either, I presume it just needed to to take root. It seems to be growing pretty rapidly now, so I'm quite excited to see what happens.
You are right about the water, I do forget to drink enough, and should make more of an effort.
Hazel you gorgeous young thing, thank you for your well wishes and compliments!
Your post prompted me to inspect our tree in the front bed and you know what there are what I suspect to be babies forming also!! I noticed a grand white flower on our tree just after christmas however I had thought that it may have used all its energy on the flower due to the sheer lack of sunlight in recent times :-)but I was wrong...it seems that it may have been a sign of what is to come :-) now I have never eaten a dragonfruit...have you??? I hope they're yummo and that little people like them too!!!! :-) I know this comment is a late one. I hope your headaches have disappeared and that you'vve found a remedy that works for you. I know lavender oil on the temples is a saviour as well as keeping well hydrated. It's the worst thing ever to have a headache- especially when trying to keep up with little ones. xo
Lady leaves, I haven't tried a dragon fruit either! But I have been told how delicious they are, so I am quite excited about it. I did see one at a fruit store last week, but they were very expensive and looked all wrinkly, so I gave it a miss.
A flower in yours - what a fabulous sight that would be... I hope you get a lovely fruit from it.
Thank you for the lavender tip, that's a very good idea and I will trot off to the shops today to get some :)
