… and this was nothing like a pleasantly relaxed weekend.

I went to bed on Friday anticipating a weekend of lazing around not doing very much. I'd planned to visit my sister for lunch on Sunday and receive helpful advice on a gluten-free lifestyle; there was the usual Gallerying lined up on Sunday afternoon; and I'd vaguely intended to spend some of Saturday dreaming up a costume for lzz's ‘myth, legend and fairy-tale’ themed party on the Saturday. Other than that, lots of lying around, I thought.

Dragged myself out of bed on Saturday morning with a shiny new sore throat. Got as far as the computer and discovered a report of a security vulnerability in PuTTY. Yes, again. Not nearly as bad as the last two, but three security releases in a row is doing nothing for my self-esteem. (On the other hand, a response time of under 48 hours is a new personal best by over a factor of two :-)

So I spent most of Saturday frantically testing and re-testing a variety of possible fixes, and therefore had to turn up at the party without a costume at all, which always depresses me; I like to manage something even if it's only a bad pun. In fact, especially if it's a bad pun.

Got up on Sunday and began to slog through the PuTTY release process; had to stop half way through for the planned family lunch, which also involved giving Mum a lift there and back and helping both her and Sophie with assorted minor DIY. Dashed back home, finished release, dashed straight back out to Gallery. At this point the sore throat had expanded into a full-blown cold and I'd used up all my energy reserves, so I collapsed.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if I woke up tomorrow, went uuurgh and crawled straight back into bed.
