Think it's the cold days then mild days. The wet and wind doesn't help either.
Feel rather run down myself lately.

Physical fatigue makes you more susceptible to any bugs flying around. Blame our wonderfully light workload. :thumbup

I reckon every office must be the same.

You can't keep doing the mileage we do, day in, day out without injuries.

Poor footwear and also the generally poor condition of pathways does not help.

I expect I will have to bench myself soon due to a recurring hip problem.
