OK, so yesterday I went to the doctor for my usual roughly annual check-up. Now, both he and Mrs MLCMM thought it would be a good idea whilst there for me to have a flu vaccination. In the past I've steadfastly refused to have these annual jabs on the basis that (i) I haven't had influenza since I was a teenager, (ii) it seems to me that people who do have flu jabs are more prone to illness than everyone else and (iii) during the bird and swine flu pandemics of recent years I failed to succumb to either despite close and repeated contact with infected persons. However, despite this rock solid logic both wifey and doc were quite insistent so I caved in and had the damn thing.
At 3.a.m. I awoke coughing and sneezing with sore joints, achey muscles, a head full of snot and brain turned to mush - I'm just sayin'.
Anyway, that's why I didn't go out for my 4 a.m. hill reps this morning.
April showers.
