I am definitely getting better, although still the best thing I do all day is lie down with my eyes closed. I feel so much better afterwards. I still think after 10pm is a late night (bearing in mind I get up for work at 8am) but I am actually feeling 50% there even when I'm most tired.

Also, of the nine people in my new department at work, six of them are ill at the moment. So there's definitely a few things going round, I just don't have the one with the cough which is creating a nice chorus from behind me in the office. And makes it more obvious that you're ill.

The most annoying thing is that this is World Rotaract Week - and today is Rotaract's 40th birthday - and I could be out every night. Instead the only night I've been out was Tuesday night and that was because I had to give a talk.
