**Hi Friends, it’s me again. Turns out Swine Flu is quite bad, zero stars, do not recommend.

I’m actually mostly fine, I just have a stubborn cough which means my breathing is struggling and my throat is sore most of the time.

Obviously, this makes recording impossible, but I’m hoping that in the course of the next week I can start again and get some fresh snoozy stories out to you all.

Thanks very much for your patience, I’m very grateful.

Chat soon

Dave**

As you settle down to sleep get prepared for the boring details of the activity of the sun, how it was believed in the 1920s how sunspots were formed, the mechanism of how the sun works, and also learn about he inner planets. Even Vulcan, which for a while was speculated to exist closer to the sun than Mercury!
