The excrutiating pain from my tooth has now settled to a more manageable dull thud.

I can cope with that for now.

Generally my health has been good up until the above problem reared it's ugly head.

It's cold and flu season in the southern hemisphere and one of my work 'mates' has done his bit by sharing something around the office.

I started with the sneezes and a raspy throat late yesterday and am currently trying to drown the symptoms with warm pineapple juice and Vit C powder. Herbal cold and flu tabs and homeopathic Echinacea drops.

It doesn't feel as though it has got any worse in the last 12 hours so maybe having a healthy start on it means I can kick this bug before it gets hold.

Currently doing some on-line browsing for a 17" flat screen LCD monitor. If I vanish for a few days it's because my old 17" CRT beast has given up the ghost, it's showing signs of deteriation.

If I fade to black I'll be back.
