In sickness and in heath...

Mrs Phin, bless her, will tell you herself that she's
not one of nature's nursemaids. I, on the other hand,
quite like taking care of poorly wives. The
differences in our approach to spouse-care were
highlighted last night when, as Jenny pointed out,
her stellar performance over the duration of my first
cold of 2008 largely consisted of:
A allowing me to watch as much Top Gear as I liked
B not shouting at me when I blew my nose
C merely gritting her teeth and taking a deep breath when I sneezed
I basked in this unprecedentedly luxurious standard of care.
She would no doubt appreciate it if I pointed out that she thinks my nose-blowing and sneezing are louder than the average. The average pachyderm, possibly. But then again, she smells of wee, so it's all swings and roundabouts, really.
