[sound of bell ringing]
I am unwell – but I’m not looking for sympathy – this is just a ‘State of the Nation’ infomercial.
I woke up at 02.30 in the midst of a hot/cold bout and haven’t slept since. I got up an hour ago when my alarm went off at 04.45, I’ve had a cup of tea and I’m going back to bed in a minute.
Blocked nose, hot/cold flushes, brain that won’t operate, head feels like it’s stuffed with cotton wool, general list of aches and pains in joints and muscles…
Yep, I’ve got Dragon Flu.
Or something.
p.s. It was the Cambridge Memory Championship yesterday. I would have gone. But I forgot.
I’ve got a cold and am considering claiming I’ve been quarantined for swine flu just so that I can have a week off work because I’m knackered…
Commiserations on the Man Flu, which everyone knows is a far more deadly and debilitating illness than mere Pig Flu.
Whatever kind of flu you may have, be it man/pig/bird or just plain ol’ seasonal, well done for quarantining yourself and not spreading it about, something many are guilty of.
Especially me.
Sorry, but I’m a sucker for those TV ads that say I can be afflicted with Ebola, pneumonia, housemaid’s knee and The Lurgi, but as long as I take a Beecham’s Lemon, I’ll be just fine to go to work.
Are you sure you haven’t been in contact with anyone who has been to Mexico recently?
It does sound like the Swine Flu. Stop eating bacon and you’ll be well soon enough. (lol) A steady flow of hot tea and uninterrupted rest will do the best. Take care Brenning and don’t give it to Soph!
