I've just shaken off a cold. No idea how I got it - possibly spending a couple of hours in solid rain a week ago affecting my nasal hairs.
Maybe someone more expert than me can verify that immunity is reduced in colder conditions.

Anyway, the dilemma I faced was whether or not to let the family know that I'd caught a cold. I knew it was a cold but they would have taken a different view in the circumstances because none of them had caught anything. It's almost gone now but just think of the tracing kerfuffle that might have occurred.

A difficult call.
