Been down...

...with the flu, dammit.

Sometimes it appears to me that SWMBO, being a robust sort, seems of the opinion that succumbing to illness is akin to a moral failing. (Though she has a sore throat at present. Hope she doesn't get the chills and shakes, given that she's gestating.) I think the fact that I don't make a wonderful patient didn't help much: which probably had something to do with the overproduction of mucus - alas the sort that sets like concrete, and could probably be used in major building works. Yuck is the only word available that actually fits the circumstances.

As for me, I'll be fine tomorrow. Sunday and Monday were spent pretty much in bed, much to Madame's irritation. Today I am up and a-wandering: there is shopping to do and a bank to go to. 

Go well, do good things, and try not to spread too many germs.

It is a moral failing. Illness is the just punishment of the Great Infector for the sin of inadequate spiritual hygiene. Good health is affirmation of the special favor in which He holds your scepter'd isle and its salvifically hardy folk.

I hope to be fully fit by tomorrow, or failing that, the day after. Depends when I can manage to eat a proper meal.

Best weapon against flu? Have some garlic. Lots of it.

Of course, your significant other wouldn't wanna be anywhere near you afterwards, but at least you won't succumb to moral failings aka illnesses!

Madame is sensitive in the nose at present, being preggers. I might not get away with it. Shame and all. Lemsip seems to work when I don't get sick of stomach too.
