I managed to pick up a nice dose of the flu at the weekend. Throat felt a bit scratchy late on Friday night, then woke up with just a sore throat on Saturday so thought that was it. By Saturday night I had a bit of a fever and it was downhill from there. Sunday & Monday were write-offs, yesterday was OK but decided to stay home from work just to be on the safe side.

It’s amazing how much it knocks back your lung capacity. Any sort of exertion is liable to produce a bout of coughing with all the gunk that brings with it. I definitely won’t be exercising for the rest of the week. On the plus side, lack of appetite coupled with body working overtime to deal with the infection sees me emerge a kilo lighter ;-)
