The culprit

Today, it has become apparent to me that the unrestrainedly sneezing passenger on last week's final flight (yes, the one where my luggage got lost!) is responsible for this week's cold. Today, I have been reduced to sneezing hugely and constantly (though I admit to using a handkerchief to constrain the worst excesses of sneezing, unlike the donor of the cold). I had my suspicions, but now I'm quite sure. I don't know about you, but I was brought up not to spread my germs around if I could possibly avoid it...

Someone suggested today that I should check whether I'm now entitled to a free flu injection - having had radiotherapy, I must find out, particularly since I seem to be very susceptible to colds this year (but that may be because I haven't had one for a couple of years so my resistance is low because of that rather than because of radiotherapy).
