Actually properly ill.

I have bronchitis! I've never had bronchitis before. It would be quite exciting if it wasn't so annoying. I had to blow into a toilet roll tube, and the doctor was really strict and made me do it about five times to "get a better score". I am quite competitive, but was more than happy to have as few coughing fits as possible. Eventually she conceded that I wasn't going to do any better, and revealed that I was blowing at only half of my capacity, and gave me antibiotics and an inhaler. I have also never used an inhaler before. The magazines at the doctor's were disappointing, only an Olive and one measly Hello which was mostly about some Holby City star. I like the ones like Best where they offer £500 for a top story that apparently must include near death AND weight loss AND lovely new (preferably younger) boyfriend.

Now is of course the perfect time for the neighbours to start loud music again.

Hello, should I order an iron lung for you for my launch?

GET WELL SOON! That is an order.

Quite possibly! I said "I have to be better by Tuesday" and the doctor looked disapproving that I would try to rush the process of an ailment for my own selfish ends. But I have medicine and an inhaler, so as long as I don't think I'm going to infect all your friends I will BE THERE.
