the last cold of winter...

Well like it or not (and I can tell you I don't like it!) the winter cold is here. I spent most of last week cooped up in the house with N who was sick with a horrible cold. I thought that I had miraculously escaped it, I took vitamin C, I took echinacea - but to no avail. I told myself that I don't get colds, I imagined little pacmen creatures and coloured jellyfish swimming around inside me hoovering up any cold germs - but still I got it. Maybe it won't be so bad. Maybe all those affirmations and preventitive measures will mean that I it will be a mild version or that it won't last so long. Hunchermuncher and I are supposed to going to Sheffield on Friday so I hope it's gone by then.
