Failure of common-sense #233442329: Wake up in a bad mood and proceed to spend the day reading a large, rather relentless book about Germany in the 1930s. Then, attempt to escape the misery by falling asleep in the late afternoon, even though you know this always makes you feel groggy

'A Young Doctor's Notebook' is in the 'Comedy' section of Emirates in-flight entertainment. Is that not accurate?

Hoe you feel better soon! If you'd like some schadenfreude to cheer you up, my nephew has some sort of illness but isn't very good at covering his mouth when he coughs, so Verity laid in bed groaning this morning until I fed her paracetamol.

Yeah, it's actually funnier than the book, which can get pretty dark. If you get a chance to watch it I would recommend, though it could do with fewer height jokes to be honest.

Oh poor V! I hope the paracetamol did its job.

I've watched everything else decent on the plane out, so it's that, Hitchcock and the remainder of the Friends episodes on the way back. (V says 'AND THE HOBBIT!', even though she watched it on the way out and didn't love it.)

We caught our plane but she then lay shivering (in our FOUR-POSTER BED at our B&B that costs less than literally ANYWHERE in Oxford) for three hours. But she's standing up under her own steam now!

Hangovers in the Siberian waste don't sound very fun, though.

(Have taken Rob to task for his use of "laid" in the comment above. It should, of course, be "lay"; there were no eggs involved.)

Well, from what I have heard, life in Siberia resembles a perpetual hangover, so I'm not sure you could tell the difference.
