Today I am mostly feeling ‘urgh’, so is Jo my wife, in fact she’s feeling particuarly ‘urgh’ because she also has the job of carrying our as yet unborn child. Not an easy job when the little tyke is already practicing his/her dance moves every half hour.

‘Urgh’ is a combination of things, runny nose, soar throat, chesty cough, fuzzy head… It’s not a nice thing to have when everywhere around you people are joyous and festive. Hopefully soon the large volumes of Vitamin C will defeat the ‘urgh’ and I can return to normality, a place where I can breath through my nostrils and sleep soundly at night.
