The sickly one
Well, that was some fun gallivanting. Not only did the lady driving me to the staff conference become ill, but I did as well, meaning that instead of helping with kids I spent the weekend in bed or on the sofa. So, this weekend, I have watched School of Rock for the first time, half of the second series of Yes, Prime Minister and too much rubbish TV. I’ve read half the Foundation series and eaten the same thing for every main meal (quiche).
Sunday evening my parents arrived home, I had a shower and suddenly felt better. The church service was run by my former youth group, and as such contained a good sermon, some good and some appalling music (theologically, not musically – the youth group band are very good), and candles. We sang “Oh Happy Day” to finish, just to have a change from the final traditional hymn.
Anyway, I’m just about recovered now (though I don’t feel as well as I did last night after a chocolate brownie sundae and mocha coffee I had with friends after church) but the article I was going to start this weekend wasn’t. So I’ve written this instead. School of Rock is excellent, incidently.
Currently listening to The Postal Service – Such Great Heights

I don’t wanna sound rude, but do you have an immune system dysfunction or something? You seem to catch so many illnesses so easily… I can only imagine what you’ll be like at university…

I have no idea, but I do seem to catch pretty much everything that’s going.

University will actually kill you. Take multivitamins, man!

You’re not hardcore, unless you live hardcore, and the legend of the rent was WAY hardcore!
Stick it to the man!
Ahem, yes, great film.

It made being ill so worthwhile…
(Then the film finished and I realised a) I was starving and b) I actually had to cook as I’d eaten everything of the pick-up-and-eat type already.)

We should use you as an experiment. Spend the first week avoiding all man-made remedies / preventatives and just have fresh fruit. On the second week swap your coffee, tea and water for lemsip.

You add lots of honey and hold your nose when you drink it. It’s a relatively pleasant alternative to many things, including Chinese herbal medicine. Yeesh.

What’s wrong with paracetamol and orange juice, I ask you?

You should drink more orange juice to avoid getting ill. It doesn’t really help once you are. :P

I think Matthew probably drinks too much orange juice. We get through an awful lot between us.
