There’s something going on.<\/p>\n

It’s a conspiracy.<\/p>\n

The cold germs are ganging up on me.<\/p>\n

In the last couple of months I’ve now had three 24-hour flu\/cold-type episodes.<\/p>\n

WTF?<\/p>\n

Normally I don’t get any.<\/p>\n

Three in a couple of months?<\/p>\n

I’m now wondering if it’s the place I’m working – well, I’m trying to wonder if the place where I’m working might be, in some way, responsible.<\/p>\n

But the inside of my head is made of cotton wool and today my brain is a half-inflated rubber washing-up glove.<\/p>\n

I’m feeling about as incisive as a housebrick.<\/p>\n

I had to go to work today; delayed my departure until the last possible moment though. Far too many things to do and a meeting scheduled (in a kind of loose-scheduling way).<\/p>\n

I’m guessing this episode will be like the previous two – gone in 24 hours; certainly hope so, I was planning on riding tomorrow evening in a continuing attempt to regather my enthusiasm.<\/p>\n

I think I blame Ginny<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ve caught her cold.<\/p>\n

Can one catch non-IT virii via an IT connection?<\/p>\n

Of course not. But I’m looking for a scapegoat (because I don’t believe blaming the fabric of the building I’m currently working in is logical) so Ginny will do. So there. Nyah!<\/p>\n

Yeah I know. Equally logical. Not!<\/p>\n

Anyway, I’m talking to her at the moment – Ginny of course, who else?<\/p>\n

The Lovely S has left me at home all by myself and, if I were feeling a little healthier, I’d have my guitars out and I’d be pogoing around the living room with the amp on 50% and reverb 10% and echo 5% and overdrive about 20% banging out some wickedly excellent sounds.<\/p>\n

Instead I’m in bed, blogging, chatting to Ginny and wondering which part of the temperature spectrum my internal thermostat is going to rocket\/plunge to next.<\/p>\n

And it’s all her fault.<\/p>\n

Women!<\/p>\n

(Not, I add very quickly, that I hate women. Quite the opposite actually. In fact – just between you and me – I’m convinced that trapped inside this male body and struggling to be let out is… a lesbian. How else could my fascination for the female form be explained?)<\/p>\n

But I’m not a well bunny, haven’t been a well bunny all day, forced to go to work to do things even though I was operating at 60% of normal capacity and I need to have someone to blame.<\/p>\n

So I’m sorry Ginny.<\/p>\n

I know you’re gorgeous and very, very cute.<\/p>\n

But you’re it – the cause of all my ills.<\/p>\n

Except you’re not.<\/p>\n

Because to blame you would be horribly unfair and – as previously discussed – illogical (Jim).<\/p>\n

So instead I’m going to blame…<\/p>\n

My friend Lesley.<\/p>\n

Because I haven’t heard from her for two weeks.<\/p>\n

So what if it’s my turn to write.<\/p>\n

Lesley… this one’s got your name on it.<\/p>\n
