I was sick so I took the opportunity to focus on casual vocabulary we use in English when we're not feeling well. It's a shorter episode because it was only me, but in describing my illness, I focus on more vocabulary than usual: under the weather come down with (something) a bug going around burning the candle at both ends be out of sorts blow your nose be stuffed up run a fever pull through be on the mend Picture Credit: Arek Socha/Qimono
