Still snotty, but now with added laryngitis and a nice phlegmy cough to go with it. I'm not so much coughing up sixpence as the entire GDP of a small South American nation. In notes. That leave paper cuts.
I'm bored of this lurgy now. Will someone please buy it off me? Just give me 10p by PayPal, and I'll gift wrap it for you. You don't have to open it or use it, in fact it's probably better if you don't, but I just want to get rid of it. All of it. And selling it is the only option.
Well, that worked for warts for a mate of mine when she was younger, so I don't see why it shouldn't work for the common cold.
Other than lurgy, Christmas has been really nice. Lots of family parties, lots of presents, lots of chocolate, alcohol and turkey. Lots of lay-ins. And still another week left before I have to go back to pretending to work.

Whilst I'm at it, can I please just clarify one thing. It's only a minor thing, but it's quite important, I think.
I am not Johnny Depp. This is not Johnny Depp's blog. Please don't email me thinking I am Johnny Depp, because I'm not. I'm the wrong gender, age and nationality, and that's just for starters. I do not know Johnny Depp, but even if I did, I wouldn't pass emails on to him. If, however, I ever meet Johnny Depp you can rest assured that I will blog about it here (shortly after I've peeled my tongue off the concrete), but don't hold your breath because as far as I am aware, he has no plans to visit the Arseendofnowhere any time soon.
Right, are we clear about that now?

Secret Santa's gift came today and I am chuffed as a small horse, particularly as I had been worried it would end up in Reading. 😀 Me happy bunny! Thank you Ben!

A few weeks ago Stuart from over at Feeling Listless asked me to take part in a retrospective he was putting together for his blog. Never one to turn down a request to write, I happily knocked out some replies to his five questions and sent them over.
Stuart's currently halfway through publishing the various responses he got, and I have to say that it makes for great reading. He's gathered viewpoints from some amazing people – writers, journalists, film makers, photographers, producers, actresses, singers, librarians, editors and bloggers, including familiar names such as Danny Wallace and Rebecca Blood. And in amongst all these fascinating people is little ol' me.
I feel both honoured and hopelessly outclassed.
Anyway, go over there right now and give it a look. It's a whole different kind of end of year review, I promise you.
