So I am not completely cured but feel a lot better,I think partly because it is just getting to the end of it.I still have the occasional coughing fit ( which will unsettle a few people on the plane ).I am just a few hours away from a flight to europe.I will be doing quite a bit of travelling over the next few weeks,so my posts may not be quite so regular,internet connections permitting,but I will try to let you know what is going on with me as much as possible.
