Every cloud has a silver lining, accentuate the positive - we've all heard these aphorisms (I had to check that word). Even Albert Einstein is quoted - 'In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity!'
So, then, what's good about my recent bout of flu?
Well, I was excused budgerigar feeding, for fear of cross-infection. Now this may not sound like an onerous task but the bird is so timid, she flutters to the other end of the cage in a panic, somewhat distressed. I worry about her having a heart attack and ending up on the cat litter that we use to line the floor. I should point out for all my bird-loving readers that it's not like she can't keep well clear of the feeding activities. The cage is big. In fact it could accommodate a small whale - well, the bars wouldn't hold the water in much, but you get the gist.
Apart from that, I can't think of much positive about being ill. Except that it's so good to be feeling better.
