I just looked back on this story I wrote in 2019 and realized I need to do an update because the last six years have been even wilder than the previous 10 www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/...

Go on holiday they said.
It'll be nice and relaxing they said.
Eat good food and enjoy some drinks.
Sit in the sun, visit nice places, relax with a book.
So I got on a plane.
Caught COVID, spent two days of holiday in bed, and five days (and counting) since being home feeling like absolute death.
