And then I started reading Joho.
Is that snot dribbling out of my nose, or my brains melting?
I used to think I was smart…

When he and his friend and flatmate Charlie are standing at the exact longitude and latitude that defines Argleton, Matt sets in motion a chain of events that will take him places he didn’t know existed… and which perhaps don’t.

I'm not feeling too hot either. One massive head of snot this morning. I sounded like a foghorn.
Snot has subsided now but I am left with watery eyes and a generally fuggy head.

Aw, poor dear. I sympathise completely. Get the lemsip out, and get an early night. I'd come fluff your pillows if I weren't so godawfully ill myself. I couldn't even eat Mum's roast dinner this evening. For shame…
Ah, a little pillow fluffing would probably do us both some good.
Think I'll go have a shower and snuggle into bed.

Ahem. May I intrude on this conversation to offer a comment?
This is the best and worst of blogging: you too can not only write your own blog, but participate in conversation with many, many Very Clever Persons. In theory. Because, if you're like me, by the time you think of anything meaningful to contribute, the converation has moved on. It's kinda like being the only one pissed at a social gathering.
As for the cold, I quite seriously suggest hitting it with a goodly fraction of a bottle of Laphroaigh or MacCallan. I also crave chilli with a vengeance when I have a cold — upon reflection, I crave it even when I don't have a cold — but I remember that's not your thing.

Of course you can comment, Andrew. 😉
I think the thing with blogging is that some people blog in their area of expertise, particularly the techie types. They have years of experience talking about this stuff, and so to blog it is easy for them.
Cos it's not my area of expertise, i read some of their stuff and just feel a bit intimidated by it.
However, I'd like to see them write a decent screenplay! So it's all swings and roundabouts really.
As for the cold, I've been trying to beat it into submission usingn Sinex, with mixed results. maybe I can just bore it to death instead.
