Blocked echinacea tubes are quite unpleasant.

I have a week off over Christmas and I'm ruining it by being ill in my own time.  :(

So am I. I finished teaching on Wednesday last week and on Thursday this low-level grot that has been rumbling around for about a month developed into a proper cold with the snots and a very sore throat. This didn't stop me from going to my brothers to eat a goose and lots of other luvverly things yesterday, but my voice was on teh point of giving out when we came home.

Sucks doesn't it? I spent Christmas day dispensing snot like broken water fountain. Today, I've combined the runny nose with a sore throat and now, in the latest turn, a tickly annoying cough that feels like spiders disco dancing in my throat. My wife is terrified that I have the flu (owing to the fact that when I did have the flu she didn't believe me, and she got told off by the hospital for not calling an ambulance, so yeah ladies, manflu is real), but this is just a stupid bog-standard cold. It's guaranteed to cure itself just in time for a far worse ailment to arrive: the inlaws at the weekend.

I fear this is stopping my full appreciation of my Christmas pressie gin bounty (another three bottles for the bar). Come on Bob, where's my charity concert and record?

I can report that cheap white rum and coke goes down fine when you have a cold, and may hasten recovery (or at least you'll be so gratified that you somehow staggered back through 6 miles of chav-infested Swindon streets on autopilot and woke up in your own bed, you'll forget about the cold).

I dare not feed Julian rum of any kind lest she become uncharacteristically violent.  But you will be relieved to hear that she is self-medicating with Hobgoblin...

To be honest, I've been worrying about this very scenario for some thyme.

This mornings pain au chocolat looked a little stale. I think that frenchie baker has been slacking, and just because he got up early on Christmas morning to bake, I think the lazy swine stayed in bed today and they had to sell yesterdays surplus.

To compound my misery I noticed that the foam on the inside of the earcups of my favourite electrostatic headphones has broken up and fallen out.

My Aldi scone is too crumbly for my Marks & Spencer rasberry conserve.

I blame myself. I should have predicted this incompatibility.  :facepalm:
