Listening to Elbow. Not mine.  The group. Has anyone else noticed how much these very serious Coldplay / Snow Patrol / whomever types all seem to sing just a little bit like Sting?  I have the flu.  It is doing its job most effectively.  Head is stuffed up, feel nauseated, and less than generous of spirit.  Dinner is being cooked, and looking out the patio door I can see six of the next door neighbours’ ten kids playing with Jessica and Sophie.  If I had more energy, I’d go look for stick.  Sniff.
