Ah, apologies. I thought you ment the Orchestra on Saturday, not the gigs in general.

Thats what I meant. Those other sweaty people have children – some of them anyway – and you’ve spent several hours cooped up with them. Me, for instance. It’s be snotty-nose central round here for the last week.

Jez: while you have a point, the room was a very large church and not overly full and while I did spend a small amount of time in the house of the niece and nephew, I suspect I’m suffering more from standing in smokey rooms getting all sweaty and then cycling for half an hour in sub-zero temperatures.

At this time of year all children turn into poisonous little virus factories. You have just spent every evening in a closed room full of people. Some of them are bound to have children in school, and so are spreading their contagion hither and yon. Did you expect anything else :)

I agree with Smithylad. One idea for the future – take cod liver oil capsules!

You were a bookseller selling books over Christmas – how many times were people able to cope with the busy period but picked up colds etc in January.
I think you’ve gone through the same thing: it’s about being ‘on’ for a period of time, that heightened sense of occasion that a project like GDFAF brings you. Whether it’s adrenalin or something else, it keeps you going while you have to, then drops you down when you finish. It (nearly) always happens and it’s a price worth paying.
