Poor you LB - it all sounds distressingly familiar. Bad cold with associated dreadful cough - several weeks later (just as cough has cleared up) it all comes back for a second hit leaving you with an even longer recovery period. It's a horrid lurgy this one. Hope you manage a decent night's sleep and feel a little better in the morning.
Are you still coughing Pansy? Mine's cleared up now apart from the occasional tickly bout but nothing like it was.
Pansy - that's a bit of conservation area madness not allowing double glazing.
I understand that they don't want houses with white Everest storm windows - they would be wrong - but to just say 'no composite' or 'no double glazing'? - that's mad. The ones we're looking at are actually recommended for use in conservation areas because they look so much like proper timber windows. The town planners should be looking again at what's actually on the market now. I was very impressed with what we saw today.

Hello everyone, I don't get a lot of time to post these days, but always look in. I hope all your ailments are receding. It was such a shock to hear about dear Joyce, but I have got a lasting memoir of her.........when she posted the exercises, I took a screenshot of them and they are safely stored on my tablet and PC, ready for if I ever need them.
We have just booked our annual holiday and decided to go upmarket this year, static caravan instead of the usual camping trip. As much as we enjoy camping putting the tent up gets harder every time.
OH is watching the footie on the telly so I am just chilling. I managed to get an hour in the garden last weekend but the weather isn't too promising for this weekend.
Hello Pauline - hope you're doing ok. I've also saved Joyce's exercises - have even tried doing them! The heel to toe walking is surprisingly tricky - even more so after a G&T🤭
Pansy that is completely bonkers about your neighbour's garage / conversion. If it was an important listed medieval barn I'd probably understand, but a '60's garage nobody can see...
English Heritage now 'get it' and realise that, if they don't allow people to convert ancient dwellings into warm, welcoming houses with 21st century conveniences, then said ancient buildings will fall into disrepair because nobody uses them.
They, therefore, oversee well designed, sympathetic conversions and extensions to listed buildings. They may be quite strict about which materials can be used but they basically insist that any new bits (extensions etc) are excellent examples of 21st century architecture. The history and development of the property is then on display with clear delineation between old or original and brand new. They won't tolerate 'mock tudor' etc. Georgian properties look particularly good with modern glass / wood and steel extensions.
Planning offices need to move with the times and try to find better solutions that retain aesthetics while allowing people to lead a modern, warm life.

I love modern tents. So much easier & bigger to put up than the ones my parents had in the 60’s. No night time loo though - one of the main reasons I insisted on caravanning / motorhoming once I had a say in the matter...

Proper home from home, but takes about an hour and a half to get set up .
