Lurgy strikes christmas II

Large amounts of jockeying pills, powders and potions, hours spent on the sofa sweating the nasties out. Hey ho. It's eaten the remaining shopping time, the planning time, the travel time and quite frankly folks, this doesn't feel like Christmas at all. There's no dec's up (was going to buy some last minute ones, honest), nothing's wrapped, I'm not fit to drive south to see folks and I'm inclined to rate this one as the biggest abortion on record. The funny thing is, I was grumping earlier in the year that I might like to spend it on my tod... be careful of what you wish for, folks !

Mind you, it's a piece of piss compared to some others.... in the North West all is chaos and pain; and down the road a taxi rank's blown up killing two mothers on Christmas eve. Nice one, fate. You bastard.

At least I've got the option of shaking the remainder of this bug and trying to make something of the rest of this damnadable season.
