Pity me, for I have the debilitating illness known as man flu. I woke up with it yesterday, but it was only a tickle in my throat then. I spent the afternoon in Peterborough with Katy – she had to work and I tagged along – but as the day wore on, it got worse. It's now painful to swallow. Joy.

 

I had a reasonably fun day though. I got to pet some owls.

 

I also found a shop that sells a ton of Guiness swag. I'll have to get some for Sara for xmas :D

On a completely different note, I'm a geek. Whenever I get a SMS on my phone, a Dalek yells “EXTERMINATE!”

On a final note, me ears are alight.
