    Still hanging in there. Streaming eyes, runny nose (and believe me, with a nose like mine, that's not good) and no sympathy from Mrs. Trunky.

    Just emerged from the bathroom, I'd quite forgotten just how much fun it is trying to shave while you have a runny nose.
    :eeew:

          Still snuffling and snorting like a good 'un. :sick0026:

          Mrs Trunky took one look at me first thing this morning and said "You really shouldn't be going in to work today"

          "I'll manage, it's only a cold" was my rather croaky reply.

          In my weakened state, I had forgotten the golden rule; wife always knows best. Sure enough, I had to give up and come home at lunch time.

          So, this afternoon, while the sun shone from a cloudless blue sky, I sat indoors watching the local election coverage on TV. I think I must be delirious. :rolleyespink:

            :hate-shocked: Blimey. Doesn't take much to get you going does it? :snork:

            I think I'm getting worse. I've started watching the snooker now.

                      Val, good to see that you're getting better :blue thumb:

                      Trunky, I know that they always say that only women can multi-task but I do have a few male friends that can drink and smoke at the same time!!! :hate-shocked: :snork:
