I thought I’d done well to come away from Iona without taking anything — no shells, no stones, just a bit of sand clinging to my boots.
But today, I realised that I hadn’t quite left empty handed. Oh no. For somewhere along the line I picked up ‘the clergy wives’ cold’. That sorts out which category the viruses thought I was in, then…
Sorry the blog has effectively gone dead. Will try to resume in a more interesting fashion soon.
wonderful exchange 
So how are you feeling now, a few days later? Is this the sort which is going to hang on a few weeks, or is it better? I hope Molly is taking good care of you.
the cold never progressed beyond annoyance, thankfully. It’s just kind of ‘there’.
