Feeling Under the Weather

A strange phrase ‘under the weather‘, but that is certainly how I have felt this week after catching covid-19 for the first time. Because of masks, distancing and everything else I basically haven’t had a cold or been ill since before the pandemic, so the sudden appearance of sneezing, coughing, headache, body ache, high temperature and general fatigue has felt very much like the return, after a long absence, of a group of well known but quite unwelcome house guests. So, illness has been on my mind, inspiring me to create a quiz on illness collocations which you can access by clicking on the picture of the poor sick person below. Take care of yourselves and stay healthy!
