Edinburgh can be truly beautiful some mornings. The invasion of tourists is well underway and it takes forever to get a bus anywhere as there's always some American who wants change or to check that the bus goes where it says on the front.

I've either got a cold or swine flu the only difference being that if it's a cold then I just get to stay at work and feel rotten and if it's swine flu then I get to stay home and feel rotten. As I've got too much work to do at the moment I've decided that I've got a cold. That and there's no one at the office that's a high risk if I give it to them and I'm sure I got it from our receptionist.
