I've just been paid today. I need two books off you now I can afford them. Do you want to meet up for a beverage or 3? |

Hi, Weber. I'd be delighted, but I'm laid up with swine flu at the moment. With luck I should be back to normal at some point next week, so I'll get in touch around then! |

Normal???? This is you we're talking about Mr B. That's not a word that readily springs to mind... |

Thanks again for letting us know Simon... get well soon and send someone out on an emergency DVD run, now that you have finished with Battlestar! |

Oh dear, swine flu - are you sure it's not just that man-flu which my husband gets? Lays him up for weeks when he gets that. Seriously, take care, sneeze into a hanky and wash your hands - and, most of all, get well soon. |

Man flu is defintely more deliberating than regular flu. Now, Swine Flu in a Man is probably as bad as it can get. |

Thanks for the good wishes, everybody. According to the Pandemic Flu Helpline, it sounds like swine flu- the lady on the other end of the phone even said 'no, it's definitely not man-flu this time'. There is the potential for misdiagnosis over the phone, of course, and I have to say I've been expecting to feel a lot worse than I have been, although it could be the antivirals are mitigating the worst of the symptoms... although when I've felt crap, I've really felt crap. Battlestar Galactica deprivation aside, I'm getting by OK, anyway. The news that folks are enjoying Pictures Of The Dark (or clamouring for their own copies) can only help put me on the road to recovery. ;) Seriously, thanks again for the good wishes, everyone. |

I did read that some folk will catch it and not even be aware they've had it - sounds like you're in the middle, Simon - best wishes and stuff. |

Thanks Steve. I've seen quite a lot of rain but been in the sea in-between :>) I also will never, ever go over the Applecross Pass again, beautiful as it is. |

Having Googled Applecross Pass, I can see why! Looks beautiful though, I must admit. |
