Unaccustomed as I am

 Been an ongoing weird few days.  I'm still coughing like a 40-a-day-Woodbine smoker and we're on day 6 of a three day headache. Whatever this bug is, it can do one.

Now the BBB seems to have acquired it too, along with his knackered back.  In short, we're a right pair just now.

I had anticipated we might venture down to the Crown (definitely not going down tomorrow) today but all we've really wanted to do is hunker down.

I've ripped some 45's, cooked some ham (in a bottle of supermarket cider) which proved to be very tasty. We've retrieved and assembled chairs and that's about it.

We didn't drink beer or wine with dinner - he thought it was better to swerve it, given the oncoming symptoms, and I decided to keep him company.

Hopefully, the middle of the day for the next couple of days will be tolerable even if we have to resort to early nights.

To be honest, it's typical of me - almost always, when I persist through the first few bits of a bug and then get to a time when I can properly relax...this often happens.  Grumble.

Hopefully there will still be Christmas Ale at the Lamb when we find our way there.
