Impeccable Timing

As always my body has chosen the most unhelpful time to lower its defences and let a cold take hold of me. I awoke this morning with a throat that felt like it had been cheese-grated, and a bunged-up nose. My ears keep giving me the odd twinge of pain and I feel dizzy. Great. And I have to go and see the head of Leisure and Tourism at 2pm and try and sound enthusiastic about his website while I feel like I'm dying.

I hate getting ill. It doesn't happen very often, but when it does I tend to really get ill. Maybe this time will be an exception? You never know.
