What was a niggling, tickle at the back of
the throat yesterday, developed during the night into a full-blown cough and
cold. Most of the day was spent in
bed. What a waste of a “holiday” just
before the weekend! I suspect that most
of the weekend will be spent trying to get rid of the illness – and I will have
to go in to school tomorrow whatever I feel like as it is an essential day in
our assessment procedure in which “things” have to be entered into the
computer.
Another one of our self-imposed totally
artificial deadlines that create chaos for no particular reason. However that may just be Mr Cough and Grump
speaking.
There is only one thing that I know which
brings me out of a winter malady induced lack of oomph and that is, of course,
buying a camera.
Now my camera buying frenzy has included
all the modern developments in camera technology and so I now have to go for gimmicks
which I repackage in my mind as essential features without which I cannot
exist.
I tempered my purchases at Amazon with
David Crystal’s latest book on 100 words in English – which sort of justifies
the other purchase.
Doesn’t it?
