You may well ask. Here is a visual clue.

The last two weeks have seen me largely confined to bed and probably taking more pills than I’d really want to. This is the first time I’ve had bad flu for over 10 years and I am so annoyed with myself for not sorting out a new home in the sun already.

The flu is partly home related though. My neighbour’s sister and her husband came to view the house on Saturday 22nd Oct. After the viewing I was invited back to the neighbour’s house for a kind of late lunch bbq along with everyone else, which included school age kids from atleast 6 different schools.

I don’t usually mingle with groups of kids and it was too much. Sunday found me with a sore throat and by Monday night flu of the full blown variety. On the positive side though, I think the house is sold subject to survey, which I’m just now organising with the buyer now I feel largely better, and completion by the end of November is still a possibility, which would then see me renting somewhere for the Xmas and New Year period; somewhere hot and not called the UK.

How ill was I, on a scale of 1 to 10. Shall we just say I’ve not had any wine since the evening of the 22nd !!!!! – people who know me well will appreciate the seriousness of that.
