However, about the time tea started&#8230;disaster! Well, no, not disaster, but a hearty amount of grumbling and annoyance. A few days ago at dinner before the Red and Gold gala event, we had a couple sit at the table next to us, and one of them was obviously ill: sniffling, sneezing, coughing, and bleary-eyed, all the time assuring us that he &#8220;wasn&#8217;t contagious&#8221; and it was &#8220;oh, nothing, just some little virus thing&#8221;. In hindsight, we should have excused ourselves, but between wanting to enjoy the evening and general social pressures, we stayed&#8230;and today was the day when we started feeling the effects of that decision. COVID testing has come back negative, so we&#8217;re hopeful that this is &#8220;just&#8221; a cold or flu.<\/p>\n<p>So, we cut tea short, went back to our room, and spent the evening resting and preparing for our upcoming London adventures&#8230;otherwise known as watching <a href=\"https:\/\/letterboxd.com\/djwudi\/film\/notting-hill\/\"><em>Notting Hill<\/em><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/letterboxd.com\/djwudi\/film\/bridget-joness-diary\/\"><em>Bridget Jones&#8217;s Diary<\/em><\/a>.
