The Monday after Doncaster, I was feeling a bit rough but didn't think much of it. The layouts were put back in to store, the van returned to the hire company and I went home as normal.
An hour later, I'd developed a bad cough and by the evening, I couldn't stop sweating and shaking.
The next morning was a little better - the shakes had gone - apart from a hacking cough and a chest that felt full of phloem.
Basically, dear reader, I had caught northern disease.
Buy did I get it bad. With deadlines to hit, i worked in fits and starts. Everything got done, but only just and in twice the time it should have taken.
2 weeks on, the cough has nearly gone thanks to me drinking several bottles of jollop. I sound a bit croaky still, but I feel reasonably normal.
Now, I don't want this to happen again - next time I exhibit I'll be wearing some protection. In addition, visitors will have to be bagged to keep their germs (and smells) to themselves. It's the future...
No such thing as northern disease must be the SSJ syndrome!
