Hello all, we have arrived at our Norfolk cottage, first went to Tesco for supplies then Specsavers to see about repairing my favourite glasses that I trod on. It was only 10° in the cottage but us warming up now.
Interested to hear about those with the lurgy having tummy troubles, I have too and thought it was the medication. I had an awful night, coughing, got to sleep at 1.30 ish, only to wake coughing at 3 and we had to get up at 6am so as to have time to brief the house sitter and drive to the airport. I was dreading the journey, bad tummy day yesterday , but was OK and didn't cough much on the plane. Coughed in Tesco instead!
England is a little warmer than Dordogne was! Still cold though.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Great elephant, Flowers. Definitely a good idea to do a more interesting colour scheme for a baby.
What a lot of poorly people! Sounds really nasty. Hope you all start feeling better very soon.
I've had to resort to h****w**k today - weather foul, and I don't have the lurgy so there's no excuse! But it's nice to have it clean. Went out for fresh air and to run up the 50 steps back to our road. (Got to shift the blubber somehow...)
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

Well, now we know why HM and D of E didn't travel to Sandringham by train - and why Wills and Kate took their two to the in-laws' for Christmas instead of spending it with the Royal family - last thing you want with two under-fives is a lurgy like this
Another dose of Imodium taken ........ sorry if that's too much info
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Afternoon - sounds like some of you are really suffering out there. Take care of yourselves all poorly people.
Note to Dove - especially bearing in mind her OH works with food. Are you sure you've got a flu-type lurgy and not a noro-virus thingy? I've had the NV but without the up-chucking symptoms - just pretty bad down-chucking ones - if you get my rather crude drift? Certainly feels very flu-like with aches, pains, lethargy etc.
Hope you all feel much better soon.
Went to town today and was coughed & spluttered on by some eejit bloke who clearly had no idea that it is polite (not to mention hygienic) to put one's hand (or better still a hanky) over one's mouth when coughing and sneezing And why is it always men who do that????
Thermometer says it's milder here today but grey skies and a touch of drizzle in the air is making it feel much colder. Will light fire after I've used the sewing machine to turn a king-size duvet cover into a double size. Needed 2 doubles but they only had 1 double and 1 king. But the price in the sale made me decide I could spend 15 minutes doing the alterations

Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Topbird Pretty sure it's not that - I've had noro virus (3 Christmases ago!) and this isn't it - the upset innards is my usual reaction to a high temp. This is what OH had, congested head and chest and sore tonsils. No flu-like aching limbs.

Mine's not been worthy of Imodium, nowhere near. Just slightly - er - disturbed. However, I have had flu like symptoms (last week) and a cough, not really a cold. Cough's still bad, certainly not better, but I think I may have turned a corner. However, I thought that last Saturday, so am still going to take it easy. Have to go out tonight, but just a bus ride, sitting and watching telly, then another bus ride. Can do that.

Hope you can relax now you're safely in the cottage, BL, and soon start to improve.

Dove and others affected. . . . . it's a drastic way to shed the festive pounds
Seriously, hope you all feel much better soon.
Thank you Joyce ((Hugs)). Keep away from HM when she goes up to Balmoral.
