Half full or half empty?

Generally I live my life in "half full" mode. So this morning I'm testing that theory as I have woken up with a terrible cough. Caught courtesy of my kids (both of whom had it) I feel dreadful. My eyes look like Alice Cooper's and my skin is the coulour of my wife's blusher. Yippe-dee-do. So why is that good news I hear you ask? Well coughs tend to last only a few days (he says hopefully), so if you are going to get one then get one six days before you go as the law of averages says it'll be gone by the time you set off !!! That's what I'm consoling myself with anyway. Cross your fingers for me please (Update thursday: still there but feeling a little better)

Anyway, back to bed with my lemsip. But before I go, I found this last night. It is a photo of me when I was 18. Just thought I'd put it up to give everyone a laugh.
