So Very English

So I have one of those horribly English colds. I have been coughing for a couple weeks now. It would have cleared itself up sooner, only I have an earwax build-up problem in my right ear, so my eustachian tube cannot clear itself properly.

Or at least it couldn't, until the last day or so, as now I am hacking up loads of gross stuff. But I am getting better. So that's good.

Thus I've decided to try and stay in as much as possible this weekend. Need to get a few more provisions. Time for another cup of tea.

And tonight, I'm looking forward to watching The X-Factor which is followed on ITV1 by Vernon Kaye's All-Star Family Fortunes, which is basically Celebrity Family Feud, only with British celebrities (i.e. people you've never seen or heard of) and questions like "Name a food that often comes with chips."

And there may be yet another game of Scrabulous on Facebook -- Nick, are you out there?
