I am managing the cough and cold, so I hope it doesn't get worse. I have had a slumpy day today.
I am hoping tomorrow will be a bit better.
Too much time to think is never good for me. I have been planning several changes round here, but they will have to wait until the Spring.
The weather and lack of energy are holding me back.
I'm nursing one too.

It has been a murky, miserable afternoon here and nightfall comes as a relief. I have just been summoned to the pub by she who must be obeyed.

Morning all: Still mild for the time of year, I suspect we will pay for this later. Anyway, happy weekend whatever you're up to.

I'm still here sitting in the corner with my dunce's hat on. It's been a dark drab and dank day here today. I'm looking about for Christmas selection boxes for the grandchildren. They seem to be much smaller everywhere than previous years, yet the price has gone up too.

Busy day on Saturday. Started with one more cup of coffee for the road with our departing house guest, then on to the official opening of Swallows Meadow, which was attended by 2 MPs and the town mayor. Not too exciting, but we saw a few friends there and heard the former Senior Ranger of our local nature reserve extolling the virtues of plants and leaves. A break for tea and biscuits before going to the Sally Army's firework display. Back home for dinner then out again to watch the Lions Club display - from a safe distance. It's very impressive, but must scare the proverbial out of the wildlife at the nature reserve.

Morning all: I think there must have been some bonfires last night, I could hear fireworks being let off in the distance.

They seem to be much smaller everywhere than previous years, yet the price has gone up too. [Yes, Wagon Wheel biscuits have been reduced in size from the original: Width: Wagon Wheels were originally 79 mm wide, but were reduced to 74 mm in the 1980s. Weight: The weight of Wagon Wheels was reduced from 41 g in 2006 to 36 g today. However, Burton's Foods Ltd, the producer of Wagon Wheels, denies that the biscuits have shrunk in size. They argue that people's hands are smaller now than they were when they first ate Wagon Wheels as children, which is why they may seem smaller.]  |

I'm weathering this cough and cold, but it is difficult. Coughing takes all my energy for quite a while.
Also. my sense of humour has taken a nose dive. I know I'm lucky that I can rest in bed with my Audible books and my TV, but I
don't feel that lucky right now. Looking on the bright side - my foot is getting a good rest.

Hard to shake off a nagging cough at this time of year. Just keep warm and hydrated and hopefully you will feel much better soon.
