I’m not feeling so hot this fine Monday morning Dear Reader, I have the flu. I spent the whole weekend lying on the sofa feeling like like death warmed up, wishing someone would come and put me out of my misery. No one did, but Mr. Blogs was very nice, and bought me cough sweets, painkillers etc, and made lots of cups of tea. It was the least he could do really, considering he gave me the bug in the first place.
One good thing was that I did at least get the chance to watch Captain Corelli’s Mandolin on Saturday evening. It’s one of those films I never got around to seeing, and I wasn’t disappointed. I still feel really blurgh, so I won’t write a full review, but suffice it to say, it’s jolly good. Be warned, you’ll need a box of hankies!
I also discovered that Britain has been voted the best country in the world. I’m not sure if any of the people who voted have actually been here, or whether they have been taken in by the stereotype of what Britain is like. There is always the chance that they believe we all live in thatched cottages, know the Queen personally and dress for dinner. They also voted the British people the most boring in the world. That’s a little unfair if you ask me, this is the country that gave the world Monty Python and the Sex Pistols. Boring? Naah! OK the locals may be a little understated, but I can’t tell you how much fun it is enjoying a cream tea with the vicar while watching cricket on the village green.
