Hoogly Wombtide

It's just as well I didn't plan anything with anyone for today, as I turned into the snot monster. Yes, that cold/flu that hasn't really done anything for the last month aside from an annoying{koff} turned into the how many gallons of plegm can a human body hold? experiment.


For the first time since finding the Doves I didn't get ridiculously drunk on Christmas Eve (one year so much so that the landlady forced me to accept a lift home) and instead stayed in and peeled brussels sprouts and stuck cloves in half an onion. And watched episode of Seinfeld.

I slept fitfully, until 8.30 when I got up briefly and browsed Radio 4 until noon when I guess I properly listened. I set things going (pheasant, roast potatoes and parsnips, brussels, bread sauce, stuffing, gravy; poached pears) whilst I had a bath and perused the Radio Times. Time I finished (minus pears, so far) it was time for 84 Charing Cross Road on the radio and I snoozed in that, too. I got up to watch Shrek 2 and the Doctor Who special is on soon.

I is exhausted.

Meanwhile Flickr isn't responding to my attempts to buy a two year sub, and Sofa Cinema is similarly not working. I suspect the new modem has Secret Firewall - I've deleted all cookies, turned off the firewall, turned off the modem and it's still not getting through. Sigh.


Seasonal greetings to all - enjoy.
