Out Of Flunter
Without actually being ill today I somehow managed to feel not exactly well all day. Not entirely out of sorts, but also far from in sorts. Hardly dis-eased, but not at all at ease. Uneased, I suppose.
Which leaves four days to get through before I can force myself to get up early to clear more marking at the weekend.
This is beginning to sound unhealthily self-pitying, but there's not much else it seems reasonable to be when one feels unhealthy.
O Mr Connor, I begin, employing the vocative. O, I say, stir yourself from the slough of Despond and remember that not every day is like St David's Day as celebrated in some places. :)

ReplyDeleteI stir, O how I stir. But to little effect.
