Fly, Flu, Flown

In light of recent events you'd almost think the English language had adopted a new conjugation of the verb To Fly. The Bird Flu seems to be the expression leaping out from every newspaper headline and TV news report on a daily basis. If it does strike Europe and Spain in particular I am probably a very likely candidate. with a 21 month old daughter who seems to bring home some viral contagion or other on an almost weekly basis I don't think we'd manage to stave off the Bird Flu for long. That said, she seems to be getting pretty resistant to most things now, and just passes them on to us, the latest 48 hour cold is almost gone after leaving me pretty miserable yesterday. Luckily it's dry and sunny here which helps, no need for lies and ambiguous language in the weather forecast to keep up national moral as the Spanish press today informed us is the case in the UK!
