My Dad has a favorite saying, "no news is good news." In my case, no blog news equals good news PLUS a miserable cold. I suppose it was only a matter of time before the chilly, wet London weather caught up with me. I'm feeling much better now, but getting sick in a new place can be a challenge. I'm not yet familiar with the local pharmacies, I discovered I have no idea where to find normal, basic chicken soup (my British substitution: fish pie) and I had to forgo my usual "sympathy calls" to my Mom (I had no one to tell me to drink lots of fluids!) Thankfully, I'd loaded up on cold medicine before I left the U.S. (tip I learned from past experience!), so at least I was somewhat prepared.
The good news is that I managed to have a bit of fun in the midst of the misery. I got to see an old college friend, Dean, who was visiting from Oklahoma. I took Dean to a "game night" with my small group from church which was really fun. We also went to
Inamo, a "pioneering Oriental fusion" restaurant in Soho where you order your food from a touch pad in the table (you can also call the server, change the "mood lighting" and watch a webcam of your meal being made). It was all very "Jetsons." The food was good (I'm a big sushi fan, anyway), but I think you go to Inamo for the novelty (perfect restaurant for gamers!!)

Post election I am catching up with people's lives, so I'm finally reading your blog. Day Nurse and Night Nurse are like DayQuil and NyQuil, so while I hope you won't need them if you get sick again, those should get you through the worst of it.
