Pre-Christmas Lurgy

Well, this is just great. No sooner does term end than I come down with some sort of bug. It started yesterday, but today I’ve been in bed nearly all day with a nasty cough, fever, fatigue, and my joints aching (more than usual, I mean).

I’ve done an antigen test, which was negative, but I’ve heard it can take several days for Covid-19 to manifest itself that way. I’ll do another tomorrow.

I hope whatever it is subsides by Christmas as I have some serious culinary self-indulgence planned. At the moment, I’ve got no appetite for food at all.

    Oh dear. If it’s any consolation, this has been a common experience for me. In the run-up to Christmas, you’re always pressing and trying to get stuff done before the year runs out – you’re just too busy to have time to be ill. But the moment you take your foot off the gas, it’s as if your body goes, “OK, my turn now”. Hope you feel better in time for the 25th.
