remains of a well behaved conversation

there was a moment today when my cold started

I was talking to a student about their work. I sniffed and that was that. I am quite excited that I can identify the precise moment that this happened. I have found it more normal to wake up with a cold, although I should mention that it would be misleading of me to suggest that this is the first time that I have, in a flash, caught a cold.

I am not certain if this is relevant information to feedback to the student when giving them their written progress review. Perhaps they would like to know.

unconnected tune for R who is partial to a bit of dancehall and who will not go to sleep because he's full of calpol. It's a bribe.
