    I’m in New Plymouth at the moment, it just poured with rain but now there are blue patches of sky. I don’t have anything interesting planned for today on account of I have a cold. Maybe the fifth time I’ve been sick in the last two months 🙁

      The general cough/cold/flu stuff is hitting everyone we know. We’ve gone back to wearing masks when out.

        I haven’t been out that much. It has probably come from family in some shape or form.

            We are in a flu study. Every sniffle or cough they swab us and report back on what they found. I had the flu only a week ago, though got a minor dose of it. They also check for COVID and a dozen different cold viruses.

            I am very experienced at doing PCR swabs on myself!

              The current flu/cold type of infections are so varied, and the severity ranges from being just a nuisance to a severe malaise, it’s no wonder so many are feeling poorly.

              Well done for doing the study, all the info they can get will help others.
