Up, Down and Touch.

The after-effects of my bout of flu have been rather more difficult to shake than I originally envisaged. I’ve been luckier than a lot of people I know, but still I’ve found myself extremely lethargic — with the aches and pains returning at times, even.

Nevertheless, I now think I’m almost ready to start back with the outlines for As Morning Shows the Day. I’m feeling more consistently “myself” and, frankly, I’m itching to do something creative.

In other news, I’ve been treating myself to — as some of you are no doubt already sick of hearing — a new toy. The HTC Touch HD smartphone pictured below.

I have to say, I’m over the moon with it. A great little device that does everything I ask of it. I might write a more detailed review of it when I have more time.

That’s Man-Flu, to You.

Well, as reported via Twitter, I’ve been hit with acute (doesn’t look very cute to me!) viral nasopharyngitis — that’s the common cold, or man-flu, to you.

I’m currently not feeling too bad. It seems to be largely a head cold and I’m hoping that it will stay that way. If, however, it goes to my chest I may be away from my computer for a day or two. I will try to post when I can, though — if not here then on my Twitter page (the feed for which can be seen over there on the right or by clicking here.)

In the meantime, if you feel like posting something to perk me up in my comments section (no, I don’t mean perk up in that sense!), please feel free.
