I really need to do nothing at all tonight. My nose is running and my chest feels weak - a clunking cold has found me.
So much for early morning walks and late night music arranging. This is where it leads when you burn the candle at both ends.
Funny phrase that. I used to think it meant turning the candle upside down so that you got more use out of it in the small hours. Pesky old dangling modifiers. It's both ends of the day, of course, not the candle. You already knew that.
The late night music arranging was worth it. The choir picked up both pieces really quickly last night, and with a bit of polishing, they'll sound great at Christmas. Ding Dong Merrily on High was a particular highlight - though curiously, the men had a bit of a laughing fit when I made an accidental innuendo. Unbelievable.
The early morning walking felt good at the time too. I strolled through the remains of Hurricane Gonzalo on Tuesday morning, with the wind whipping the sky into an angry frenzy of swirling cloud and rain. It was invigorating but I regretted not taking my raincoat.
This cold is ridiculous. Who gave this to me? As you know, I'm socially unable to blow my nose in public, which means I have to get up every five minutes and venture in to the Gateway to Hades. They're enough to shock both Dante and Milton, those toilets. I'm just thankful that I can't smell anything at the moment.
So, I think a film might be in order for tonight. Or maybe I'll just go to sleep. It's been an OK week but some Fridays, I'm just grateful for the end.
