I suppose it was inevitable. Despite religiously wearing face masks on the train, in the shopping centre, and when I'm lecturing lovely students the Covids have made a house call. Thankfully, the symptoms are very mild. Just the sniffles and that achey sense you get when you're on the verge of a cold or the flu. And I am a little bit shivery too, but apart from that not bad. Still got plenty of energy - for the moment. Though I will note I am absolutely stuffed full of the microscopic blighter. The postive LFT came back within a minute.
What this means is blogging might be disrupted over the next week or so. We'll have to see.
Recently I've been having two recurring thoughts - "loads of people I know seem to be getting it at the moment" and "I've avoided it so far, I'm hardly likely to get it *now*". Last night thought 2 finally collided with thought 1. Fortunately all my teaching's done for this year!
And if you just appreciated that GETTNG PR DONE! was one key --- and certainly NOT the only key! ---- to advancement by the left in the UK, I would have written " Very well done Phil ..."
Under PR, I think a REAL socialist party could get 8% of the vote... and that would mean 8% of the seats at Westminster...and that is NOT something to sneeze at.
Sorry to hear this, Phil. Hope you recover soon!
ReplyDeleteBad luck!

Well done Phil for soon hitting 4,000 posts.
