The last couple of days, I’ve been down with a nasty dose of the flu and it seems it is not over yet.

My doctor assures me that it is the flu and not consumption, however, I do feel that it is worthy of an opera plot.

It seems that if you think you might have the flu then you don’t. That’s man-flu.

What I’ve had these last few days is the thing that makes you realise why people die of the flu and why its not to be meddled with.

The worst of the fever seems now to be past though I still feel lousy. I’m following all the proper instructions – paracetamol, rest, liquids, melodramatic gay movies etc.

My apologies to anyone waiting for information from me about anything to do with work. Its going to be a few days yet, I think.

However, I do seem able to surf the internet now. My chaise longue seems to be equipped with a lap-top, so I might engage in a little light blogging and posting of other people’s web-trinkets as strength gradually returns.
