1. Much better thanks, though my sinuses are a bit sore still.
2. About a third of a pillow, at least we aren't in Marseille.
3. Not since the last time, I am being very careful.
4. Much better in the morning though still a bit nap-resistant in the afternoons.

So maybe 2009 isn't so bad after all.
Though I just checked my UK bank account and the pesky fellows have worked out that while there have been funds going out there haven't been so many, well any, going in and have reduced my overdraft limit. Fair enough really but did they have to do it while I was over the limit they reduced it to and charge me a fee for doing so and now they will just add on lots of charges. Hmm not so keen on my bank now, but I had better phone them for a chat.
Maybe a cup of tea and a bury my head in the sand for a bit before I do that though.

Tis the credit crunch and all that - bah to worldwide economics.
