Observations so far today

• Honey and lemon strepils truly do not go well with coffee


• If your boss doesn't recognise your voice when you phone in sick, that's probably not a bad thing. On the other hand, why would Barry White have been calling him, anyway?


• Twenty hours of yet-unlistened audiobooks makes a great alternative to daytime TV

Further Observations

• The new Lee Child book is awful. Some of the previous ones have been entertaining fluff, which I though would be good for a sick day, but Nothing to Lose is just plain hopeless.


• It's not fair to be at home sick and not find Columbo on the TV.
