Rumbling flu

Daughter still isn't right, after being off school for a day last week. After dropping son off at nursery, I seriously thought about heading for home instead of work. One of my colleagues said at coffee-time this morning that he wasn't feeling well, and planning to go home.

On the other hand, my brother had some kind of flu that knocked him out for a couple of weeks. And the guy I share an office with has been off work now for two-and-a-half weeks.

But I'm here, and probably just about keeping my head above water. Is there a tree which blossoms in the autumn? I took a short walk after lunch, and encountered a rather bleak-looking tree, which had spring-like pink buds becoming flowers.
