Yeah, right.

So my beloved darling daughter caught a nasty virus just during the busiest few weeks of the year, when I was working on a grant, two major conference papers, and an important colloquium presentation apart from the usual day-to-day business, which has involved a day trip to London and a day trip to Brussels. This has meant not only taking two days off work, and less time working weekends, which I really needed, but also the usual - I got the virus, as well. Since I haven't been able to take time off to get well, I have now lost my voice.

And from Tuesday to Friday, I will be teaching a four-day all-day practical in Germany which has been announced for ages.

All together now: HHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

I can't imagine how hard it would be to speak German with a sore throat, especially loudly.

Try to give your voice a good rest these next few days. You should be at least audible by Tuesday.

Hope you and the little one are better soon. (I forgot her name. What is it?)

Oh no. That stinks. When it rains, it pours.

Hope you and the little one are feeling better soon!

Oh dear :-( I hope your voice improves quickly - make sure you rest it as much as possible, and drink plenty of water.

*hugs*
