Back from the dead (and by dead I mean man flu)!

Hello! Sorry for the brief pause in transmission: after all the travelling I've been up to my immune system decided to shut down and thus I spent the entirety of the longest day of the year in my room, recovering. How you get colds and the like in such a month as June is beyond me, but I would guess that the 14 hours' sleep in 3 days combined with 200 miles of travelling may have had something to do with it. However, after several Beechams and a healthy amount of sleep, I am recovering fast, and should be back to my mad mad self before too long!

Talking of which, it appears that I've returned to Cornwall (where madness is usually tolerated) with an acoustic guitar in hand: Dad has very kindly lent me his for the summer, and with any luck I will be able to play a few tunes before this touring lark is over! In any case, guitars are great fun to just idle about with, and they usually come in handy at parties. It could be a while before you see me busking with one, however: I can do a few chords, but much practise is needed!

Also briefly visited Cheltenham in Gloucestershire and Taunton in Somerset today before returning to Falmouth, and shall hopefully be doing mini-blogs on all three. Taunton was caught in one heck of a heatwave, I don't mind telling you: perfect weather for cider, too.

Take care, and avoid man flu at all costs: not only does it make you feel rubbish, but you get zero sympathy. At least with some illnesses they send you a card...
