Bad timing
I am sick. Hard to say exactly what with, but it's been getting steadily getting worse over the past few days. Wednesday I had a bit of a sore throat. By Thursday, my voice had dropped half an octave, and I had a blocked right ear. By Friday, I was sounding like a bass in a male voice choir, my ear was so blocked it was making me dizzy and I was feeling generally muggy so I stayed home. Today, I'm properly growling every time I talk with a tickly cough, my head feels stuffed with cotton wool and I'm all shivery...
All of this is very bad timing as I'm supposed to be playing for Surrey in a county match against Somerset at the Oval tomorrow. Boo hiss to being sick.
