I’m at the tail end of my first cold of the season. Was a medium strength one that was only unpleasant because it coincided with having to do a load of physical stuff in preparation for moving house.

Just the sniffles now, and some horrendous acid reflux thing that makes it hurt to eat and is definitely, definitely a result of the cold and not the fact that I haven’t cooked a meal in about a week.

Caning the multivitamins, fruit and veg. Washing/sanitising my hands after the bus/tube.
Trying to be in a cool environment as much as possible.
Had the flu jab.

So far, so good. Do not want a cold at all this winter as I had such a bad one two years ago. Colds now go straight to my chest and I’m fucked for weeks. Hate it.

Work from home if poss, stay off sick if needed. If it’s just a sniffle then I’d go in probably

So far this season:
Normal colds - 1
Stomach bugs - 1
Chest infections - 1

Still got a lingering cough from the chest infection, also got my flu jab so have that post-jab feeling a bit ill thing rn. Managed to not catch hand, foot and mouth from R though, so that was nice to avoid.

My colds always tend to be like this, 24 hours of feeling like utter turd and then it clears up. We’ve obviously just got kick ass immune systems Bam!

Ate 3 plums and have stopped sniffling. Might go for a run after work.

can’t remember when winter II starts?

Just clearing my second cold of the season. The baby keeps getting them and we’ve been using a nasal aspirator to clear her sinuses so I’m literally sucking a new virus in to my mouth every few weeks. Gross.

Got a bit of a scratchy throat at the moment but nothing major. Managed to pick up a cold that ‘broke’ the day before a new starter was due to join my team. Had to deliver a very apologetic induction before heading home at lunchtime and going for a nap.

Yeah I now have a full stinky cold

People who pretend they don’t get colds are the worst people.

Every human-being in the western world gets at least one a year, fucking fact.

I’m annoying my girlfriend with my OTT Jonathan Richman and James Murphy impressions (they are the same impression)

#44

#45

Get yrself some grapes. ASAP

#46

Never heard of this one before?

#47

I’ve always had grapes when I’m poorly. No idea why. Easy to digest and bare vitamins I guess?

#48

I’ve got some raisins at my desk, that’ll have to do

#49

Leave them in water for a few hours and they’ll turn back into grapes
