I had a fabulous weekend last weekend, notably going to see one of my favourite bands on Sunday night. It was worth the long drive and the late night to witness them play as an ensemble for the first time in about 8 years, and to experience again at first hand the swirling, intense, epic and often heartbreaking music they play.
They really were nothing short of remarkable, and the quantity (a 2 and a half hour performance) matched the quality.
It was fantastic to be there, to see some other old friends, and to have really made the most of my weekend.
I was at work the following day and, whilst feeling in reasonable fettle physically speaking, I was in a flat mood which intensified as the day went on.
I felt more like myself on Tuesday, but it proved to be a long and hectic day and I do feel that it's no coincidence that I've been run-down, sneezy, achy and bunged-up for the latter part of the week.
I'm as physically fit as I've ever been, all things taken into consideration, but I just don't have the stamina anymore to even have just one or two late nights without there being some all-too-tangible repercussions.
Not that I would have missed a night like Sunday night for anything - I just have to brace myself for the seemingly-inevitable aftermath.
Like when I got back from Krakow, having had a wonderful week of relaxing, socialising, and drinking all at a nice holiday kind-of-pace: by the latter half of my first week back at work, I was in pretty much the same state as I am now.
So it looks like it'll be a quiet night in tonight - the thought of beer isn't even an appealing one, it wouldn't taste right thanks to my current minor ailments.

Curl up in warmth, lap up lots of fluids, emulate the cat.
Yes, lots of water and tea. A Saturday-morning lie-in has helped, and hopefully I've turned the corner.
