Wow. Sorry you’re feeling so rough (and it’s doubly-difficult when it’s spreading around the household and affecting loved ones – usually harder than dealing with illness yourself). But I feel like I’m once again swimming against the tide.

When I’m ill, I get sick of my own company, just moping about feeling rubbish. I’ll happily find anything to distract myself from being ill (ok, maybe not sorting out the garden or finishing fitting the skirting board I promised two Christmases ago). I love nothing more than setting up the filter coffee-on-demand, sitting at my painting desk and powering on through a few minis to bash the coughs and sniffles to back of my mind. If I couldn’t paint minis when I was ill, I wouldn’t have got anything done these last two months!

My wife is the kind of person who can get up, do some work (housework or otherwise) make and drink a brew, then come back up to bed and happily laze the rest of the morning away into the early afternoon (whether ill or not). The minute I’m awake, my eyes are open and I have to be up and dressed and doing something – and doubly so if I’m ill!

Still, I guess it takes all types, eh?

I see we’re a bit light on music this week. Here you go. Best Xmas tune ever (let’s not get our kickers in a twist over who is right on this one, if you disagree, you won’t by the time the big day actually comes around)
