sniffles

I woke up this morning with a raging sore throat and ears.
My ears trouble me a fair bit in winter - that is why I have a lot of hats with ear covers for the bike.

Anyway I have been gargling with solpedine - then swallowing of course (no wasting).
No plague drink for me thank you very much.
Now I am now just slightly stuffed up with a minor throat ache. Which suits me fine cause I am off to Australia on Saturday and I do not want to be weakened going on a plane.
Planes are much worse than Dublin buses even. You know the way buses are filled with disease ridden flea bags (including yourself). They are just waiting to breathe on you and attack your immune system with their nasties. Yeah well planes are that by a hundred. Maybe I should bring a mask. Except I'd never get to Australia. I'd get arrested in Heathrow for wearing a mask or shot. And Australian customs will think I've got something to hide and arrest me again there. They will send me straight home, I know I have seen the tv programme.
OK so no mask. And I should really stop worrying so much about the lack of recycled air, take a sleeping tablet on the plane and miss all the disease madness.
For now just sniffles.
