A summer's flu

For some strange reason the summer often sees an upsurge in the traditional winter illness that is flu. Despite the nice weather at the moment, many people, myself included, have been snottering along or are confined to bed with light fevers. This week it was my turn to be stuck with a blocked nose and sleep deprived nights. Not usually one to rush to the pharmacy to get an assortment of pills, I succumed to my state of malaise and bought some anti flu tablets. Having taken two when I arrived at work, I am feeling slighty less bad...although that most iriitating of symptoms, the blocked nose, persists!
