One of the side effects of low potassium levels in human beings, I learned last night, is a feeling or conviction of 'existential dread'. So this morning I purchased a large bunch of greenish bananas and have just eaten one.
No decline so far in my high existential dread level, which seems the same as usual. It's surprising it isn't higher than normal actually. We were invited for drinks nearby at 6 last night. At the last minute the invitation was put off until 8. Feeling thirsty I had a couple of large ones before driving to the drinks. There, to my great pleasure, the ingredients of maria sanglante had been laid out for me, and before I could stop myself I had sunk two more colossal ones. Then I started staggering about and eventually fell on my back in a flowerbed and had to be hauled to my feet. Nor would I have been capable of driving back here without running into something. Herself had to drive although she'd had some wine and usually won't drive when she's had a drink.
I very seldom do that sort of thing nowadays. Hasn't happened for years. Everyone is rolling about with laughter (but they can get to their feet without help). Perhaps it's time to husband my remaining healthy brain cells.
