I felt even worse this morning, but after another day of lying around not doing very much I'm feeling almost energetic. It seems to me there's a good chance I might make it back to work tomorrow, which would be a relief.

This morning drswirly unexpectedly visited me and lent me the first season of Blake's 7 on video, which was a welcome alternative to lying on the sofa reading books I'd read before and feeling uuurgh. And this afternoon lark_ascending gave me a lift out to the garage to collect my car from its MOT, for no better reason than that I asked her nicely. It's at times like this that I feel surprised that I'm surrounded by lovely people. (I shouldn't feel surprised, but I do every time nonetheless.)

Good job I feel better, too, because in just under an hour and a half I've agreed to be on a random IRC server I've never heard of to hold a meeting about Arabic support in PuTTY. I'm not remotely sure how that will go, but at least it doesn't look as if I'll have to do it with my brain out of order…
