Thorny

Went to the doc's and it turned out that I'd managed to pick up a throat infection along with the cold - explaining why it felt like I had been chewing on the thorn's outside the window - a very topical Blip. Good advice from the doctor though and I was back with medicine and a slightly less sore throat, as well as being told that while I could go back to work, I couldn't leave the house - vaguely good news!
