Just came across this masterclass in what to write in a cheering up card (I must have had a flu bug or something, nothing serious) – sent to me 8 years ago from a funky friend – still makes me smile:

“Darling Sicko,

May your world be a sunnier spot very soon.

May all your enemies get it worse than you, and may your staunchest friends win great fortunes at the Bookies this very day.

Now close your peepers, you have dreamt this eeepistle.

If you can’t take up yer bed and walk, then take up yer pen and scribble.

Feel better but quick”
