Note
(sick) (rest day)
Felt no better (in fact probably worse) on waking up. Wouldn't have considered running, thought about going to the pool but didn't think I had the energy for that either. Think it's a cold rather than a full-blown flu (not running enough of a temperature for the latter), but at the nasty end of such - last time I was in this sort of condition was in Scotland in 2012 in the run-up to WMOC.
Probably shouldn't have dragged myself in during the day, but taking a sick day on a Friday in summer is potentially asking for trouble (not internally - I hope - but part of the price of working in the field that I do is that anything you do is potentially subject to hostile external scrutiny, and I'm not prepared to rely on "they won't find out" - have seen too many others be the subject of hacks and/or broad-ranging FOI requests). Was in bed within five minutes of getting home, and asleep not much after that.
