Man Flu
I, like those many victims of ‘man flu’, don’t suffer illness gladly. I have struggled into work, no less, and kept myself distracted with admin. Answering the phone, though, is painful (achey neck!). At least I’ve had a flask ginger tea & some high strength pain killers to keep me company. (Cold relief ginger tea: 1 cube of ready grated frozen ginger from Tesco, juice of two lemons and a tablespoon of honey in half a litre of boiling water).
I’ve also had a bit of a chat with someone in the procurement department here, which has been useful. Also, I’ve told people here about bog. It’s a bit like ‘coming out’ - yes, I’m your department PA, but I’m also an environmental entrepreneur - I just ran out of money!
Anyway, I was supposed to finish here yesterday, but they’re keeping me on for a bit. Not sure about next week yet… it’s been so, so, so nice actually having an income, not being brassic all the time and being able to go out a bit (saturday - albanian singing workshop, afternoon with friends in Drift then a random, and very unexpected trip to the NEC to see Tom Jones!).
