New term:New germ. This one is taking its time to work through the household and had ticked off the offspring and their mother, only one more to go!
Our variant takes the form of sore throats, colds, coughs, temperatures; others have a sickness form and some a common form of flu - don't think they're really trying hard enough to enter into the spirit of things! I am beginning to wonder whether our family could be sponsored by Kleenex, who must be riding high after a summer of Olympic emotions. As blogs can advertise or have sponsors, perhaps I should approach them as I don't suppose their marketing department follows Sulus in Somerset terribly closely.
My convalescence has been spurred on by the conviviality of company when yesterday I attended a Writers' Studio session. I selflessly spread my germs, thus enabling others to get on and have this bug before it turns into some mutating virus, and in return my colleagues were gracious enough not to flinch each time I reached for the Kleenex (they really should paying me for all this endorsement).
Today, armed with appropriate medicines, hot drinks and the ubiquitous woollen rug, I'm attempting to return to work on a short story, homework and notes for an idea; the novel hasn't gone away, ideas are swirling around along with the lurgy and will hopefully emerge in a wonderfully crystal clear format shortly. In the meantime, has anyone tried J K's new novel?
