i've been ill for the last 4 days with some fluey man-cold. cold shivers, achey joints, sore throat, general uselessness etc.

by saturday night i was feeling human-ish again and we went to a friend's 40th birthday party. there were loads of really nice people there but i couldn't talk to anyone as i couldn't hear anything thanks to my cold bunging up my ears.

so i just stood in groups of people and smiled on cue. i quite enjoyed it.

here are some sausages.
