Have been sent back to the sofa ... I'd heard from Bro that this lurgy lets you think that you're on the mend and then comes back to bite you ... just for once it seems that Little Bro was right
No way am I going to get to Aunt's Memorial Service in Bucks on Thursday

Good to know that you are being sensible re rest Dove
My grass man is doing a pot shuffle today ie bringing the ones with bulbs and spring flowers onto the patio from the back of the house. I can no longer move big pots even when they're on wheelie things.
Dove, that is just what the lurgy did to me. I've had it three weeks now, think at last it is getting better, although I'm still coughing and very tired.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Been telling all the lurgy sufferers to rest cos viruses come back and bite, especially when you're 27!
It's a gloriously sunny day here with clear blue skies and we woke to several degrees of frost. More of the same for the next few days into next week. We have spent our morning on parade at the bank to set up accounts for this and that. Ludicrous interest rates for savers but better than nothing I suppose and better than Belgium at the mo.
This pm is walkies for OH - my pranged toe got twisted gain yesterday when a bouncing Bonzo tripped me up and is all swollen and limpy again. I shall ponder my potager and then do some sewing while waiting for kitchen man to come and confirm I know one end of a measure from another and make sure we have enough leccy. I'd like a bit more really.
Hosta - sounds great to me as long as it's not humid. I ran out of reading material yesterday and my Kindle did not want t recharge. Persuaded it eventually.
Fairy - hope you get some frosty bits for weekend hikes.
Pat - Keep cool any way you can.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Good job you've all got it in winter when you can't easily be tempted outside to overdo things and make it worse. Too frustrating.
As it is, I'm more or less confined to barracks with the pesky toe so am also grateful I can't be out there trying to dig,, clear and plant. Have a man coming next Monday to talk fences. I want some tall, welded wire mesh fences to make a sort of secluded courtyard garden for some scented plants and climbers. Not sure the gauge will be right for clems and roses and winter honeysuckle but OH refuses to have more of my much loved builders mesh fencing - cheap, strong, flexible and visually discreet because of the rust colour and bigger holes.

I've dug out my old leather fell walking boots for walkies and have abandoned slippers in favour of my trainer style leather shoes around the house and out for now. Did the initial damage when I stubbed it in October so it's taking its own sweet time but you can't exactly splint or plaster a toe.
OH kicked it in the night when rolling over and that flipping well hurt enough to wake me and keep me awake so I might need a snoozle myself.

Dove: my sister had *something* for two months before Christmas, and even now not fully recovered. The trouble with lurgies is that they seem to hold the door open for all sorts of other nasties to try and get hold.
Today has been rather quieter in the museum than expected. A school booked 60 places... 37 turned up. Another school booked 30 places.... 13 turned up. I don't mind its just nice to see classes with such small numbers in them! Usually I have 30 booked and 35 turn up, it doesn't sound a lot but it seems to make a huge difference on how contented the class is.

Morning all. We are waiting at the airport.

I've just had it on very good authority that this lurgy lasts five weeks!!!

I suspect that's right, Dove. OH had it in mid-December and still needs an afternoon nap in order to get through his choir rehearsals in the evenings.
Sorry Obelixx; we overlapped. Steel toecaps to protect the pesky toe?
