Audioboo and Podcasts

Hmmm, it seems that the Audioboo widget isn't playing nicely with the LJ embedding for some strange reason. If you couldn't get it to work yesterday, then the direct link is here or you can get it directly in iTunes here.

While I'm plugging Podcasts, Mitch Benn has a new podcast out of comedy songs which is a little bit like his old BBC7 show but with all new, never heard before stuff. Needless to say it is ACEBEST, particularly Mitch's own Tom Waits style blues lament about the perils of cooking food when you are drunk. You can find it on mitchbenn.com or by searching in iTunes.

Fever

Dammit, we both appear to have 'flu like symptoms' which could cover everything from a bit of bad cold to the ebola virus according to NHS direct. I was awake for most of the night, alternately shivering and feeling like my eyeballs were melting (and not in a good way).

I perked up in the morning after a couple of ibuprofen for breakfast and managed to make it round the snowy woods with the dog and do a bit of OU work (cat permitting) before I had to go back to bed again this afternoon. I felt so achy that I had to turf Frank the cat off of me because he was too heavy for my fragile bones. Yuck.
