Flu and Prince William is engaged

It turned out it wasn't a cold after all but full blown flu. I have not had flu for years and this really did knock me out. Here I am just over a week later and still recovering. I have not been back to work and even went to the doctors much to their surprise as well as my own as they kept saying you are never ill, your records show you are never ill etc etc. Once the fever died down I just felt so exhuasted and even climbing the stairs to my bedroom left my heart racing and me panting with total exhaustion. I have seen the future as an old woman and I don't like it. I am guilty suspecting that the way this left me so low was largely down to my own general unfitness and once again I hear myself promising to get fit, take more exercise which is easy to promise while I am still not well enough to put this promise to the test and start a new fitness regime.

Other news is that Prince William is engaged to be married to Kate Middleton. He has given her his mothers old engagement ring which is a bit spookey. The poor girl is going to be haunted by Diana anyway without having to wear that doomed piece of jewellry.

I remember watching the young Diana on her engagement interview so full of hope and love and so shy and smiley. Look what the horrible Prince Charles and his bloody family did to her? When Kate spoke about the royal family being welcoming I just shouted at the telly 'run girl they are all gouls and will pull at your neck and drag you down until you lose that youthful shine.'

The press have gone mad and its all over the news tonight plus sudden documentaries with vague people who may have just bumped into the couple eight years ago suddenly saying they have been through tough times as students when all they had was takeaways.. Give me strength!! His family is one of the richest in the world if not this country and when ever did he have to ferret down the back of the sofa for some lose change to buy bread? Tough times...makes my republican tendencies come out.
