Every cloud…

I have an ear infection, a nasty one. I’m prone to them when I’ve had a cold but this is worse than usual. The doctor took one look, exclaimed in disgust* and prescribed oral antibiotics as well as the ear drops I usually get. I knew it was bad as sInce yesterday I’ve been pretty much deaf in my right ear, which is more disorientating that you might expect. On the plus side, when I lie on my left ear, I can’t hear the Jam – still wide awake – humming ‘London Bridge is Falling Down’.

* She also may have muttered something about vast quantities of pus but – happily – I couldn’t hear very well as I have a nasty ear infection, so I’m not thinking about that…
