I am Ill. I appear to have what dogrando has had this week - something one up from a cold, but not quite flu. Aching muscles, headache, slight nausea, cough, sneeze, runny nose, temperature, occasional dizziness. Lovely. Got into work feeling worse all the way, sat there for 30 min continuing to feel worse, sodded off home. I am now drinking Cold-Banishing Drink & about to go to bed for the rest of the day, and probably tomorrow as well.

This is particularly irritating as kitty_goth & I are off to Switzerland on Saturday. I had bloody well better be better by then.

In happier news: if you haven't read Mary Gentle's Ash: A Secret History then do so forthwith, for it is thoroughly ace. (cheers to lilithmagna for the loan!) Good job I finished it on the tube this morning, or I would have great trouble going to sleep instead of reading it.

Sorry you are ill love but I expect you will throw it off quickly, you healthy little vegan you :) Ash is so fab! the second time I read it I enjoyed it even more xxx

[juliet]

Yes, I fully intend to take it to Saas Fee so I can reread it - was reading fast the first time because I wanted to know what happens!

I think I might be suffering from the same thing. It is an arse and no mistake.

I recommend Going To Bed with lemon/honey/hot water/cinnamon/fresh ginger drink.

I wish I could. Unfortunately, I have too much bloody work to do :(

Feel better soon, i too am in the land of the unwell. boo hiss. Enjoy switzerland anyway and if you like Ash get White Crow by same authour (v good).

[ergotia.livejournal.com]

I could not get into White Crow but I loved her Glden Witchbreed books.

*shrugs*

I prefered white crow to ash but I admit my taste is odd on occasion.

as for her Glden Witchbreed books i've never read 'em.

[ergotia.livejournal.com]

That of course should be Golden Witchbreed :)

[lowkeyknight.livejournal.com]

;) I’d guessed.

Also, White Crow is good because it has giant anthropomorphised rats! Who doesn’t like ratmen ruling London?

[juliet]

aw MAN! I must read it forthwith!

That illness sounds horribly familiar. :-/ Hope you manage to shake it off faster than I have done (4 days and counting) -- & have a great time in Switzerland!

Oh, and I owe you an email, *still*, because I am rubbish at replying to email. Sorry. Will try to get round to.

[juliet]

Well, will/would be nice to hear from you, but don't feel Guilt about replying or not replying!

if it helps I think it sounds like the same thing I had - and I got rid of it in a day and a half.

Bah and once more BAH, say I to your illness:

The power of Kat COMPELLS you!

(although I'm sure it's not quite so bad that it needs exorcising, can't hurt, right? :-p)

[juliet]

I am fully in favour of a little exorcism, ta!

Right, back to bed, then...

[plumsbitch.livejournal.com]
