Well, Bummer! I'm ill! It's just a cold, actually, but I'm really not used to illness and I'm not handling it very well! Haven't been ill at all for something like half a year......apparently it's what they call a head cold - all the bad stuff is head-and-throat based. Getting headaches too, which is another experience I'd forgotten about.....at least, haven't had any recently which got above my pain threshold! (me being an insensitive get and all) I must say I don't know how you guys put up with this kind of stuff...especially Cat, who gets ill more often than I get library books out! Oh boy - dizziness, migraine-type-things, breathing trouble, throatache - extreme pants!

Now what was I saying before about not whingeing? Better get to bed, anyway, although I'll doubtless have trouble sleeping, which is why I haven't been that concerned about getting an early night! Besides, I slept a bit during the day (was off school).
