Dear Ms Pickard. I hereby notify you that I am holding you solely responsible for my current malaise. I read your post on Sunday - jolly funny it was too. 24 hours later my nose exploded, snot everywhere, evening, night, most of this morning. Not even industrial quantities of said recommended, imported Lemsip seemed to work.
So, having found some toothpicks to keep my eyes open and practised typing with only the hand that isn’t holding the hanky, I have now updated my blog, replied to many overdue emails, found my passport for next week’s trip, and generally put my private life back in order.
Many thanks!

ah yes, sorry, that’s because it was actually called Wonderfalls.

See, I enjoyed it so much I couldn’t remember for five minutes what it was actually called.

No, you’re right, not things I have hanging around (I can’t even seem to find Waterfalls on Google!). And my collection of series isn’t that great as yet. Mainly consisting of Allo Allo or Fawlty Towers. Oh, or that one with Ewan McGregor and his mate on their motorbikes. Maybe a trip to Amazon is in order… that might take my mind of the hacking cough for a little while.

Best way to avoid desire to regain lost weight by eating when better is to lose the equivalent weight of a lower leg IN LOWER LEG. Blogging in bandsaw tragedy: “Littler Red Boat” (or “Plus Petite Anglaise”, “Truncated Diva”; possibly just “Boing”).

Actually, to be fair, Flesches, I didn’t have a concentration span enough for DVDs this time around;

I watched some - two bollywood films, four dvds of Loony Toons, and half a series of Waterfalls, a series so classic it was cancelled on American television after four episodes.

Not - possibly - a selection you might have hanging around.

But I recommend series. If I’d had the presence of mind I would have just started the West Wing from the very start, but I didn’t know I’d be out so long…

Can I ask which DVDs were in your stack? I’ve managed to come down with a cold (boo, although, sore throat = excuse to eat ice cream!) and am thinking an evening with a DVD might be a suitable ‘feeling sorry for myself’ activity. Any inspiration?
