If I don't have malaria, I may have a severe masculine-variety influenza


This is how serious that is: please click here (thanks Ruth) - Man cold

Dr Russell the GP was quite sarcastic when I stumbled through his doorway this morning. But the surgery was taking it very seriously - they gave me an appointment for the same day! I must be really sick. Or living in Scotland.

After he'd taken quite a lot of blood out of me (syringe, not leeches) he said: "Well it'll be great fun if you have got malaria." What can he have meant?

I feel pretty good, though, compared with 4.30 this morning, when I was so feverish that I started this blog. It really does work, going to the doctor. I wonder, if you went when you were feeling really well, would you feel even better? Like after a week in a spa (whatever that feels like)?

Have new painkillers. C0-codamol. Like Distalgesic, but with a lighter top-note.

I can't help feeling that if you were really ill (or even slightly ill), your spelling would have suffered as well.

You still haven't told me about the house. What happened?

I am QUITE sick, otherwise I wouldn't have a blog, would I? And I wouldn't think it so bloody funny, either. My temperature is 37.8 as I write, and it's gone up .1 since 5 minutes ago.

Did you click on that Man Cold link that R sent me - that is funny.

The lobster - Everyone says it's yummy and I don't really think it is.

Well, then reincarnating as a lobster is a good idea because you wouldn't eat me, right, Adam? But I bed some other member of my gluttonous family would.

I do hope Ruth is being suitably sympathetic? Cold compresses on the hour and light yet nutritious dishes to tempt you?

Sympathetic? I'm alone, all alone! I tried to make toast an hour ago and failed miserably.
