Insisted on going into town for a meeting first thing, but now muttering about going back to bed. I did suggest he stay at home as he'd coughed all night and had a temp but was overruled. Heaven knows how many other people he's shared his bugs with. This could be a long 48 hours.

I'm sure man flu lasts longer than 48 hours, and recur without warning weeks later. grin

There is evidence that man flu really exists. Mind you it's not nearly as bad as Vamps flu. I'm serious wimp grin

At least you don't have to shut him up in a shed away from wild birds.

On the other hand.........grin

Man flu is of course psychosomatic, occurring only in the minds of women. There is no known cure.

Second night of coughing and temp of 38.7-feeling quite sorry for him now. He's gone back to sleep after tea and paracetamol so will leave him be.
