Yes, lucky me still have a few hours before L arrives. Plenty of time! So now (instead of being a good girl) I sit here and listen to the Spice girls (very inspired by last Friday's events) on Spotify. How did I ever survive without Spotify? I'm not even bothered with their commercials (yes, I'm cheap and use the free version).
The TV news are all full of stories on the swine flu. Terrible for everyone affected of course, but other than that it doesn't really bother me. Should I be worried? Perhaps? Do I care? Certainly not! Maybe Tim is more sensible, who says that we shouldn't forget the flu in 1918 ('the Spanish flu'), when between 20 and 100 million people died. And to a certain extent I agree, but at the same time - a lot has happened in the medical area since 1918! I just cannot get around the feeling that it is a bit like the bird flu: a big hype by media, but then not actually a real threat (unless you like sucking on live chickens of course). I just can't get around the feeling that people are picturing a world like in 28 days later. Or maybe I'm just naive?
