No I don't mean the "avian" strain HN51, I mean the not "man-flu" variety which actually warrants a stay in bed for three days that those of us who don't have a faulty chromosome get. Well that's the one I've had for the last few days, hence not quite up to date on the washing, shopping, ironing, cleaning or cooking after the xmas break.
So to fill you in as quickly as possible and get back up to speed.....Hmmmm..well there was the goose that had to migrate to an oven down the road on Christmas day to ensure that we could all eat it with developing "botchulism." Bet you didn't know that a goose could migrate even after stuffing!
Santa did still arrive despite the apparent confusion between Switzerland and Swaziland, and we thankfully didn't get a goat as that would just have confirmed the whole geographical confusion currently sufferred by our landlady. Although I think she may have ordered the engineer to attend to an oven in the wrong place as that is still on the blink.
Milan was a great city break between Xmas and NYE and was well worth the lengthy train journey just to hang out in the snow and eat food that I hadn't had to fight 10 rounds with the oven in order to produce. In fact the food in Milan was fantastic and the three squares around the actual cathedral were beautiful don't get me wrong, but my god it has nothing on Florence!
New Year's eve was a quiet one, family all having departed a couple of days before and the flu slowly sneaking up on me to pounce as soon as I was chilled out...and there we go a quick recap on the last two weeks. I am going to have to get some washing done tomorrow though or we are going to have to start using the bedroom door and exiting the house through the hedge, but the flipping "concierge" decided to be unconcierge-like and disappear on holiday without even the briefest note to let those of us dependent on the stupid washing machine cards completely stranded!
