    Some of the sugar free cough sweets have sorbitol in and that can give a laxative effect. I'm staying in away from the sneezy people, however hubby has been to stockport today. I hope he doesn't bring any manchester bugs back with him.

    Fidget!  Stockport is Cheshire, not Manchester which is Lancashire and sod arbitrary boundary changes.   Hope he's come home bug free either way.

    Missed Michael P who is very entertaining on rains but have recorded MD so I can FF all the dross bits.

    More immune system boosting grub for dinner - spaghetti vongole with loads of garlic and chilli.  Yum!   I do not want the nasty bug.   Sounds horrendous.   Hope all sufferers are improving and that you flight hasn't messed with your sinuses Busy..

    Hi allimage

    Sorry to hear the bug is hanging around for a wee while yet.

    Really enjoyed Monty's programme and thought the young couple worked exceedingly hard considering what they have on their plate.

    Obelixx Stockport is also known as being in the Greater Manchester area despite the Cheshire county label.  Fidget if he comes back with any bugs don't let him inimage.

    A bath and early night is called for here.

    Keep yer tummy bugs to yourselves - please! image

    I'm not prone to them fortunately, although I had one out of the blue earlier this year. Made going up one of the Crianlarich hills interesting....image

    Hope you're all a bit better and healthier tomorrow.

    I haven't seen the gardening prog but it's recorded so I'll catch it at some point. I quite like it. 

    Horrible, manky sort of day here, and felt miserably cold despite it being much warmer, in theory, than the minus five frosty days. It's to be better tomorrow in the east so I think I'll head that way for a walk.

    I'm off to watch that prog about Orkney's archaeology. Enjoy the rest of your evening everyone  image

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



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

    Really enjoyed Monty's programmeimage - 2 lovely gardens at the end & have to agree with Lesley's comments about the young couple - quite uplifting. Oh so very very different from some of the 'instant makeover - minimal owner input' programmes.

    GWRS - I've enjoyed some of the Michael Portillo programmes too - especially when he's going to my favourite parts of the country.image

    Enjoy Orkney Fairy. I think you, Doc & I probably agree with the final conclusionimageimage
