Catching A cold

Judging by the people you meet round and about, it would appear that the winter seaon of colds and flu is now in ful swing. I have escaped the bugs so far, touch wood, but I notice that a fair few of the regulars of The Lamb and The Silverton Inn seem to be so afflicted. If you have to get a dose of the llurgy, I suppose its better to try to get it over with before the Christmas season is upon us as there is nothing worse than feeling like death whilst others are having a good time, or at least appearing to.

So, I suppose its time to get out your cold remedies of choice and to stock up with the ingriedients for hot toddy. Its probably also the time to have your thickest duvet ready and to prepare to face the rigours of several days of watching daytime TV.

If male of course, you will probably also have to face cracks from female aquaintences and family members about 'man flu'.

Never mind, their day will come. Our winter bugs dont discriminate on grounds of sex.
