In which our heroine has tonsilitis

I seem to have been flattened by last month's bout of tonsilitis returning. This time, it has a grudge.

At the moment, I'm not particularly entertaining, unless you perversely enjoy listening to hacking coughs. One thing i've discovered is that my sore throat pain is miraculously cured by beer, which has just enough alcohol to kill the pain, but not too much. This came to light after spending Sunday at a party; who knew?

To entertain you in my absence, I have photos taken over the last few weeks. Feel free to come up with your own story to link them all together, and post it in the
