Firstly, many thanks to the lovely hazelblackberry, the lovely cellobella and the lovely anonymous portly geek for their comments of wisdom on my last whiney post.

Secondly, I have a sore throat (again), so am not at work – woo (it is worth the pain)! It is a glorious day outside and I plan to curl up in the wintery sunshine with a good book (or any book really) later today and sip a warm lemony drink.
