The past three weeks have been pretty crazy. Even outside of the illness, I’ve been incredibly busy trying to sort a bunch of things out both at home and at work. I’ve had little to no chance to do any photography and my blog posts have frequently been, let’s say, concise.

I think that situation is likely to continue into next week at least, although I really do hope for a bit of calm and a chance to catch my breath before long.

So please exuse any lacklustre efforts I make. I don’t plan on missing any days, but there may be a few posts where there’s little to see other than a photograph.

Here’s another picture from the University of Leeds. I like this one a lot for some reason.

I think I’m finally shrugging off the worst of the throat infection. I’ve actually managed to eat normal food today without the feeling it wouldn’t fit down my throat, which was very nice. I’m definitely not back to 100%, and swallowing is still slightly iffy, but at least I can manage to get a decent amount of sustenance into my body. The antibiotics are still making me feel vaguelly nauseous all the time though, and I get the odd headache and sudden horrendous coughing fits through the day, which I’ll be glad to see the back of.

I felt well enough to return to work and impressed my colleagues with my new (and temporary) deep, gravelly voice.

I was going to try to write something about reflecting on my experience to provide a link to the photo today, but coudn’t think of anything that really worked. So the picture stands alone.
