And that’s a GOOD thing.  Because ever since last Friday, I’ve felt a lot more than a little sick.  The short story is that I had a nasty little bout of gastroenteritis which in human terms means that I’ve had a pretty bad case of diarrhoea and vomiting — which as you can probably imagine has left me in bad mood.  But I’m doing much better now, something I’m very grateful for.  The following is what we in the  Internet business call “too much information”, so for your own protection I’ve encrypted the rest of the text in unbreakable rot13 encryption.  I don’t really want you to read it, I just felt the need to write it.  Begin gobbletygook:

Unfortunately my lovely wife also became sick, she was so confident in the superiority of her immune system that she even drank out of the same glass as I.  In true fashion though, she is recovering much quicker than I did which is good, though it really sucked both being sick at the same time.  You know how the old saying says that misery loves company?  Well that’s utter BS, what misery really loves is having someone healthy around to take care of them.  Trust me on that one.
