Marginally better... not over it by any means. I hit my worst on Saturday after driving home from IISAC. Chills, fever, cough, snivels, headache... I just parked the truck, got inside the house and into bed. When Lyn got home I suggested a trip to the hospital, but after a couple of aspirin the fever/chills thing went (though I found I was still a little susceptible to that late this arvo). I also got some "chesty mucus cough syrup" (doesn't that sound appetising?) from the chemist this arvo, and while it's early days, I think it's helping.

When I told the lady in the chemist shop what I was after, she recommended this cough syrup... she said "It's says it's peach favoured, but don't worry about that it tastes disgusting!"I guess that makes it alright. She wasn't lying... I put it about one flavour point above swallowing petrol so I'm hoping it's good for something.

I'd like to take some more time to take it easy and get over it, but I have the TV antenna guy coming tomorrow so I've just dug a 30m trench today (with a trencher) and more tomorrow. No rest for the wicked...

Al.
