You may have realised from the lack of regular posts that I’m still very poorly. I’m really struggling to shake off this terrible flu thing which appears to have turned into a bad infection and a myriad of other aches and pains. I feel as though I’ve been hit by a bus – a phrase I’ve used lightly in the past, especially when referring to hangovers – but truly, all of my ribs and backbones feel as though they’ve been shattered.

With my cocktail of antibiotics and painkillers (and cakes) I’m hoping to be better very soon – I just wanted to update you so you didn’t wonder where on earth I’d got to. Laters, alligators. x
