20071109 - Flu

My boss 'phoned yesterday and told me he'd got an email that said I was off with the flu! Apparently they're having an exercise simulating a flu pandemic. Not sure if I'm not supposed to not do any work or not. Doubt anyone'll notice either way ;-)

Think I'll have to ask RADA for a refund!

This was hard work - took 19 shots!!! And it still wasn't right, the one I liked best only had half a lemsip box so I had to clone it in from another pic. Life's too short - I might be virtually dead soon!

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM
1s f/10.0 at 100.0mm iso1600 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Definitely grey about the gills!!

More than a hint of David Tennant about this one. The bit you _really_ have to worry about is when they ring up your colleagues and say "Phil's off with flu - how will it affect your work?" and you have to hope they don't ROFL and say it'll improve things.

As happened in a department near us. Allegedly.
