HAPPY NEW YEAR

It is a belated one, i am afraid! I am writing this on my kindle, from my sick bed. I had a  cold/cough which began Christmas Eve and lasted all week, but seemed at last to have almost gone. Then, it suddenly got worse - or at least, I thought it had until I realised I had acquired a new bug, this time a really horrible flu bug. Who knows if I have bird flu,    tadpole flu or elephant flu (though I think it must be the latter, as I certainly feel as big as an elephant at the moment). Whatever it is, you can take my word for it that you do not want it, cos it is `orrible!

My husband has followed me, catching both bugs on the same day as me. This second one has hit me much harder though - my coughing fits are something to behold! It is odd, because he is normally the one to get a bad chest with these bugs. The other strange thing is where we acquired this latest germ from, as we have literally not left the house for ages. It must have flown in through the window!

Happy new year everybody. It can only get better, surely?
