Not well.
It wasn’t just a smokey pub. I blame all the students and their viruses. Throat continued hurting throughout the day, and by sunday evening I felt distinctly not well. Because I now own a thermometer I felt compelled to check my temperature every three minutes, and in an hour it went from an innocuous 36.6C to a nasty 38.1C. I felt shivery and horrible, so forced Mr Newt to come to bed early so that he could keep my feet warm for me. Dosed up on paracetamol I did fall asleep but woke up about every half hour, alternately freezing cold, and boiling hot.
Surprisingly felt all better by this morning. Only 2 hours in Uni, then the dreaded Morrison’s shop. Where the h£ll all those people come from on a Monday lunchtime is beyond me – does no one have to work? I also tried to speak to someone at the bank for the fifth time – but again there were about 53 people in the queue and only myself and the gentleman behind the counter had a reasonable grasp of the English language. The remainder appeared to be international students wishing to transfer several gazillion yen into a bank account that they didn’t know the account number for, or trying to withdraw cash using their Tesco’s Clubcard. Gave up after 20 minutes.
Spent the rest of the afternoon trying to phone the Student Grant people and the Inland Revenue. No one wants to speak to me though. Apparently my call is very important to them, and will be answered as soon as an operator becomes available, but because of the unusually high demand, there may be a significant delay. Right. Fine.

Awww {{{Rach}}}. Sorry you’ve not been feeling well and have been having hassles contacting people. I hate those “your call is important to us..” messages too. Hope you have better luck when you try next time.
