For those who may have been expecting to see us this weekend, my apologies. But I had a bad cold (what women often refer to as 'flu), and had no desire to inflict it on all you lot.
With luck, next weekend should be sniffle free.

Date: 2007-12-03 02:15 pm (UTC)Yes, it's usually phrased the otherway around, that for what Women would refer to as a mild cold with sniffles, a man would declare that he had flu.
Of course if we swop it around, then the mild sniffles you had could (in a non-PC world) be described as "bird flu" (g, d & r v.fast!)

I wonder what it was in the intervening 6 centuries?

Date: 2007-12-03 05:39 pm (UTC)Same here. I spent two weeks in bed. Then mom took me out for a day's "fresh air" (and Bingo!{shudder}) and we smoked. I returned to my sick bed for another two weeks and then never smoked for another eight years.
As the doctor said at the time when I complained it was "only 'flu" - "Don't underestimate it. It can kill you."
