The Lurgy cometh

I have been ill for roughly the last 4 days. Caught the rather dislikeable sickness bug that is going around the wilds of Wythall and Hollywood at the moment, so spent most of Sunday in bed unable to move, eat or even drink water - which then leaves you with a stunning headache. I also developed backache not sure whether it was the bug or just me lying there but I have to say that I haven't felt quite so pathetic in a long time. I'm just waiting to get "The Cold" now....bring it on....

I'm enjoying this life of leisure so far. I went to see the new Harry Potter film with Mum, Vix and some of Mum's friends. It was good, although due to the length of the film vs the leangth of the book quite a lot of the non-essential plot gets missed out. Visually stunning, packed with action and I have to admit to shedding a few tears at the v. well handled ending. My favourite scene is in the Great Hall when Harry, Ron and Hermione are studying and asking about dates they are taking to the ball - Alan Rickman doesn't have a lot to do in this film - but this is truly his finest comic moment!!(although I'm going to have to chec in the book to see if that actually happens!)

I've been to see various folks, done some Christmas shopping, had a trip to IKEA with Jo and we moved my room about - no matter what you do to it it still reembles a box with a window!- started to organise a work placement/visit and got various bits of work for the next couple of months.

I have 3 Christmas "Do's" next week - 3! and they're all for Church related groups!!
