Profound apologies for my platitude, Pansyface. I think I was speaking in a "relative sense". Perhaps there are worlds that are a bit less free than the one we inhabit here, which, admittedely, is by no means perfect.
I woke up this morning with a splitting head and a fearfully aching body. I think I got IT. Given me, no doubt, by my sister who, on Sunday, was talking to me, from her sick sofa, for ages... on the phone.
Let's hope nobody catches it by reading this. (You never know; do you? It's such a beastly thing; AND I'm alone in the house.)
Oh, Helen! Keep warm, have lots of hot drinks and rest. Perhaps being alone in the house also helps, neither noise nor irritation! The mode of transmission was very original!
My dog-walking friend has got IT too. Unfortunately for her, there's no peace in the house. I went to see her this afternoon. She looked really unwell. I hope she's a bit better tomorrow and I escape scot-free.
I'm sorry to read that you're feeling poorly, Helen. That is a nasty thing indeed. My SIL tried to carry on as usual, despite feeling rotten, the thing worsened and she ended up in hospital with pneumonia. Mercifully, she's fine now. Please take real care of yourself. I'm sure, however, your OH will... tie you to the bed if you don't do as he tells you, so behave yourself. Keep your spirits up; it will pass.
Yesterday, I came back from my break to a damp, dark and freezing place, after my daughter had kept praising the country's sunshine and blue skies- though not the perishing temperatures!
Today, I read Helen is not well! One shock after another. So sorry, Helen. Flu can knock the stuffing out of you. So, please, take care.
Thank you all for your Get Well wishes. How kind! Since his return home, OH is keeping me hydrated, medicated, fed and warm. I feel almost human again. He says I will feel much better tomorrow. I'm looking forward to tomorrow!
I'm much better today, thank you, Phaidra. I slept fitfully, so I'm rather tired but my cough, sore throat and generalised pains and aches are noticeably less intense. There's hope for me yet!
Can I join the youff with you in Kavos? I don't drink, I don't smoke, so I should fit in well, don't you think?😂
