I took your advice - I have just finished an entire Bill Bryson book, half a packet of tropical fruit juice and most of a punnet of cherry tomatoes, all consumed in bed, with heater on, wearing strange pseudo-pyjamas and silly socks. I still feel a bit off, but marginally less so than before. And I am going to get Robert to help with the laundry when he gets in in half an hour.

Have some *hugs* from me, too. Not as good as your proper hugs, either, but maybe they'll help tide you over. Thursday is not *very* long to wait now. *hug* (Have been thinking about you recently, actually. It would be nice to see you again sometime.)
