I'm back. I have had bubonic plague!!! No, not really but I have had this adeno-flu virus that is doing the rounds. It was not just a cold. This virus is extra special, it gives you proper flu, vomiting and diarrhoea all at the same time. I was expecting a plague of boils three days in but I got a cold sore instead. I sincerely hope nobody catches it, I am still as weak as dishwater and flumping in a chair as soon as I get in from work. That doesn't help but I've already lost a week's pay so I have to drag myself in. They say stay in bed and rest, but someone has to go out and get more tissues and paracetamol, someone has to clean the bathroom several times a day and someone has to change bedding and wash towels to stop yourself lying around in infected sheets. I went to the pharmacy. You know these new ideas where the pharmacist can see you and prescribe things - well, the best she could come up with was trying Vick on my chest. Amazing - as if I hadn't already been doing that, I'm old enough to know that bit of advice. Anyway through the worst of it now and I lost 5lbs. Stay off you foot Althea, we always think we're not doing much but we generally are doing more than they tell us to do. Hi Hild, a hand grenade exploding in toilet really is a bind, loperamide is the quickest cure for that I do know.

Morning all: A tad cooler this morning after a very hot day yesterday. Got our usual stock up for the weekend today, M&S shop then to the local farm for some fruit and veg.

Morning all: Not budging today, got floors to mop and meals to prepare. I'm going to make some apple crumbles later and freeze them.

Absolutely tipping down here. It's set for the day. So sorry to hear how poorly you are. hild. You are right about having certain things that have to be done, no matter how poorly you are. I also live alone and though people are kind and helpful sometimes, there are times when I have had to be on my foot, when I know I should be resting it. I am hoping for a miracle tomorrow, when I see the orthopaedic consultant again. Wishing you well, hild.

Youngest grandson, (Frank 3yo) was driving us all nuts by constantly roaring like a dinosaur. However, he's changed tack now and is making cat noises. Even that's worn thin and his mum said "If you don't stop making those cat noises, I'm going to feed you with cat food and you can use a litter tray" Frank, pausing:..."Will you get me a litter tray?" 🙄🤣🙄
