So it’s been a week since I last posted but there is a good reason.
I’m sick.
Actually, when I say it out loud it sounds more like “I’m thick”. Which some people might argue is still pretty accurate.
I took last Thursday and Friday off work in an effort to banish the evil bug that had invaded my body and set about pillaging and looting it’s way through nearly every body part (that’s about what it felt like).
This “effort” involved watching a lot of cheesy romantic comedies, reading some of my current favourite book “An Utterly Impartial History of Britain: (or 2000 years of upper class idiots in charge)” whenever I had the mental energy, and drinking litres of lemsip (until mum told me off for overdosing).
By the weekend I was mostly better but the last remnant of the Bug’s army are proving mighty resilient to all the drugs I throw at them. So we come to now, where I am pondering a deeply significant question:
What the heck are sinuses for, anyhow?
Answers on a postcard, please.

I don’t know but part of me wishes I could have mine removed, kinda like tonsils. You infected me! Meanie. It hadn’t occured to me that I could take something for a cold though. I seem to have developed this mindset that unless you’re really sick, you don’t take anything – you fight through it! I’m gonna go find the tablets.

Jen’s obviously learnt that one from her mother.
Of course, Fiona, it maybe didn’t help going for a walk in Blenheim Park without any gloves….
