Head feels like it’s in a vice? Check.

Throat like a cheese grater? Check

Feel like I’m wearing an internal balaclava? Check

Skin’s getting all tingly and tender? Check.

I’ve just brazened it out with the pharmacy strength lemsip (last one, damn, knew I should have bought some more), and resigned myself to an early night but I’ve got a horrible feeling this isn’t just the after effects of my gardening escapades earlier (I get *really* nasty hayfever that often makes me throw up, joy, sure you really wanted to know that).

Arse.
