Parental Superpower?


Both Philippa and I seem to have made a remarkable recovery from our colds. If I believed in miracles, I would call it miraculous. Yesterday we were living in a pit of phlegm and misery, today we seem able to breathe. It’s so weird that I’m starting to wonder whether the whole thing was just a nasty, unpleasant dream. I’ve tried looking up info about colds to see if there’s a 24-hour version you can get that your body is able to repel quite quickly, but the article I started reading led me to a page about ‘Medical Warning Signs No Middle-Aged Man Should Ignore’ and now I’m convinced I have prostatitis, MS and malaria. The internet is a dangerous thing sometimes.
Anyway, it’s nice to know we can look forward to a weekend of relaxation, clear tubes and happiness, rather than the coughing, sneezing and aching I was anticipating.
I shall leave you with this Frightening Thought:
4 weeks ago today was Hallowe’en.
4 weeks from today will be Boxing Day.
