A few weeks ago, an episode of the Contrast Podcast was delayed due to Tim having a bad headcold. A couple of weeks later, Linda was also experiencing similar symptoms. Last week Marcy had a few days of bedrest and kept the Kleenex empire afloat, and she and I had a little joke about how I was next in line, blaming Tim and his evil plot to infect us all. Oh, how we laughed.
Now, as I write this, my head is aching, my throat is sore, my ears are blocked and the bin beside me is overflowing with tissues (must empty that actually). I’ve just downed an aspro, am about to indulge in a shot of Stone’s Green Ginger Wine – good for the throat, take note – and am cursing Tim and his Contrast Podcast plague. Cheers, friend!
I shouldn’t be too upset with the lad though, he does continue to supply us with a wonderful podcast each week. This week’s Share A Secret episode was absolutely fantastic, with lots of happy news being shared and little secrets aired. I didn’t get my act together in time to contribute and I’m still not sure what I would’ve shared actually. I have managed to rustle up a few top tunes that fit the theme though, you can check them out below.
Next week’s episode asks us to talk about what we liked when we were 21. Given that I was 21 only four years ago, I don’t how exciting that will be, but perhaps I’ll be able to find some pre-blog music secret to fess up to or something.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering, typing the word ‘plague’ into an image search…not such a good idea.

hope you feel better soon, Agnes!
Thanks Greer!
Contrast Podcast plague, eh? Maybe my computer caught it too then. Why don’t you pass that bottle of Stone’s Green Ginger Wine over here. Is it good for coughs? Oh heck, I’ll drink it even if it’s not good for coughs.
Yes I think we can safely blame the plague for your computer issues as well! Stone’s is good for coughs, sore throats, the dread that looms over unpaid bills, that nasty look the woman in the express line gives you when it’s revealed that you have more than the requisite 12 items, the inertia you feel when it’s time to hop back on that treadmill again…it will fix all manner of ills!
lol–searching for images of “plague”! i had similar icky results when i’d broken my toe and looked around a bit for pics of that. why do people take photos of such things to begin with and then post them on teh internets??
anyway, i hope you’re feeling a bit better by now. the good thing about a cold is that it only lasts 7 to 10 days whether you try to doctor it or not. : )
Eww I can just imagine! Cold getting better, sore throat is gone thank goodness! Voice still quite husky, but not the good kind of husky unfortunately.
