I had expectations of getting up to The Lakes to play in the snow this coming weekend, but like many others I've been struck down with the lurgy. Standard remedies aren't touching it, so I may have to resort to hearty measures of hot Port and Southern Comfort in order to boost my vitamin C intake. That, combined with liberal helpings of Chris's mega-chunky leek & potato soup with added onions, should keep the internal fire stoked to combat the bugs.
As I've said before, the winter kit's been packed and ready for the off since early November. At this rate I'll have to unpack it again and replace all of the stuff that's gone out of fashion.
