I had survived but it was pretty miserable for a couple of days.
Luckily the village pharmacy was open on Boxing Day and we were able to buy some very effective cold tablets and, as it was raining all day, there was little to do but wallow.
After another twenty four hours it seemed the worst was over and while still heavily congested, I felt things were certainly much brighter.
Pity about the timing but not entirely surprising!
