Spent today largely in bed, with my little radio on, listening to R4 and reading / snoozing / waking up / drifting. I have eaten 1 piece of toast, one Mullerlight and shamefully, a Pot Noodle (beef and tomato). I have read 2/3rds of a Bill Bryson about how mad Britain is. I have blogged. I have held a slo-mo convo with a friend via email. I have attempted to get in touch with another friend who is meant to be coming for dinner - no luck so far. I have brought up about 8 pints of semi-solidified snot into hankies. Nice!
Now, it’s raining, and my boys will be home in less than an hour. I’m very much looking forward to seeing them.
You know, the only good thing about snot is that it makes your voice sound kind of sexy and raspy. I think Phoebe in Friends called it “sexy phloegm”. (did I spell that right?)
I know what a Pot Noodle is because I saw the commercial for it at the screeing of The World’s Greatest commericals: http://youtube.com/watch?v=dg2s4B7ZSL0
but, what’s a Mullerlight? I think I want one.
Feel better!
you sound cheerful inspite of your ailments. You might as well make the most of a day in bed. Wish I was nearer and I could whip up some supper for you all but I’m sure your freezer is well stocked.
Hope you feel better soon.
love Carole
So I can no longer speak, and feel so ugly and horrid that I’m starting to get worried.
Moo….
That’s what the ‘flu bug does… it starts by infiltrating your nose and throat, then works its insidious way into the areas of the brain responsible for a) martyrdom and b) self-image; causing sufferers to think a) that they have to cook dinner for guests and b) that they look ugly. When they patently look no such thing, that being an impossibility. They merely look sick, which is fine as it is temporary.
Get better soon poppet.
