Perishing cold this morning - yet the forecast is for a warm(ish) weekend with highs of 15C in Madrid. We shall see...

A very charming lady coughed straight into my face a couple of days ago! My job requires me to get close to people and this one didn´t cover her mouth.
My situation two days later is this, if you were toset me on fire, I would still be shivering! Don´t you just love Joe Public!

You'd be in deep mierda without them! Just keep taking their money! Speaking from personal experience, there are many jobs where work related health problems are a lot, lot worse, on a scale of 1-10, I'd put the odd cold at number 1 at best.

I thought that the normal flu jab does nothing to protect you from Gripe A.

Plus an extra jab for the old folkies against Shingles as I understand it.
I think it applied to the over 70s only.
