I'm not at work today as I sound as though I have a large painful frog residing in my throat. Ironically I had a flu vaccination on Tuesday, but I started feeling under the weather at the weekend, and have spent the past few days with aches, fever, chills, and the usual misery-inducing flu symptoms that you just have to ride out in between sleep sleep and more sleep.

It's 20 degrees today, but I just know the cold weather is being stockpiled somewhere! I bought some lovely fur-lined boots which are going to keep my feet soooo warm in December and January (and probably February, March, April...!)
