Ugh

Somehow I managed to get another illness.  I think this one is a virus because I have no fever.  My glands are swollen and it hurts to swallow (or move my head).  Our nephew came to London a few days ago and fell ill with this, and now I am all moany and sore.

Our first DVDs from the UK version of Netflix came the other day.  They do things a bit differently and you cannot order your lists like in the US.  So we received two random titles from our “high priority” list.  I was hoping for Control but got The Queen instead.  I am going to will the list to send out the one I want today.

I don’t feel very inspired to write today.  I just want to go back to sipping hot fluids and trying not to swallow too much outside of that.  I am miserable when I am ill.  But it’s time when you feel the least in need of writing that you should write.  Demand resistance and all that.

If I am feeling better by the weekend, Mr. Yumicho told me he wants to go to Hampton Court this weekend.  Next week we are going to go on a mini-break to the coast (something we had planned a few weeks ago before a family emergency interfered).  I am really looking forward to both trips.  Hampton Court and The Tower of London were the two reasons we bought the membership that allows us free admission for a year.
