    This particular Forkers' lurgy seems so much like the one I had a couple of years ago. Started in July & knocked me for six. In Sept I still had quite a bad cough which was painful and keeping me awake.

    Went to the docs who ordered X-Rays & blood tests - nothing found. Was just getting better when I got the same virus again in November. I finally shifted the wretched cough in about April of the following year. 

    Nearly drove me mad - making phone calls & being in 'quiet' places was difficult. I think OH was more than a little fed up with it too.

    Nice here today - sunny but cold. Should have gone outside and made a start on some jobs but never quite got round to it. Plenty of things to do inside...

    GWRS, my OH is a lifelong Bradford City supporter, and now has a season ticket because we live close enough to Bradford for him to go to home matches.  I've learnt to appreciate the game because of his interest - though I much prefer cricket, to be honest.  image

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    We are home now, well, a couple of hours ago. Just had a sad phone call to say the lovely Maire of our village has died, funeral on Thursday. He's been Maire since before we bought this house in 1990.

    That sounds a good plan re the footwear, obelixx. Why is ut that when we have an injury,  that's the very bit we keep bumping for weeks afterwards image

    No sign of frost for the weekend unfortunately. At the moment it's to be snow on higher ground and poorish visibility, so I might have to have a PlanB, and C, and possibly D image

    Horribly murky day here today - mist/low cloud/ to quite low level, drizzly stuff all afternoon - smirr, as we call it here. 

    Glad I don't have that lurgy. Hope everyone who has it isn't too worn down by it. That's the problem with these things - you get scunnered. Can you make sure it stays 'in the south' please image

    Long time BL. Hope it was peaceful for him. I suppose that's the best we can all hope for.

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    A very grey and drizzly day here. Lights, heating and oven on now - sausage and mash being cooked. I collected a box of old photos from my Dad today and have started compiling a memory album for my sister and I. Each packet contains a selection of photos with varying degrees of quality - some because the composition is a bit 'random' and some where the technical ability of the camera or photographer is questionable! I rather miss having packets of photos to hold and pass around - but the delete button on new cameras and phones is quite essential at times! 

    My garden and I live in South Wales.

    Right. A state of emergency has been declared at 7pm and we've been told not to leave the hotel.

    The old President really doesn't want to leave.

    Exciting times.

    Holiday rep has just been to tell us "there may be repatriation in the morning. Do not leave the hotel."
