I quite understand things you would rather avoid, Panbiker.
I shall secretly stand behind you and Sally to give rubs on the back, cyber style. I know you have the love of family and friends but I give an almighty back rub.
Tizer...that would work!

Aye...keep your chin up, Panbiker.

We are coming good as quick as we can. We have stuff on the calendar that we cannot avoid...

Is Darth a mass, or a venous congestion? My dear friend messaged me just 2 days ago to say her husband's TIA's ( of some 2 years running) have now resolved and his CT last week show the affected venous anomaly had been "absorbed" and we're no longer present. They were going to operate at several poi...

So what did you get in your wrap up, and what did you pay for it?
Is it just flaps and scraps for slow cooking?

Have you ever felt like you were walking about in a bubble, with a waxy coating between you and the rest of the world? We are a bit like that at the moment. Not quite that interested in what is going on yet. The thing is, we have some major things looming on the calendar and can't be sick for long. ...

It has now been 3 weeks since the kids visited with their city germs. I would describe us as "fair to middling" ( still dealing with the germs).. Buds and blossoms exploding around us on our walks, but we quietly wonder when our usual energy levels will return. Neither of us feel quite right yet. Mi...

I always offer it, Stanley. He always refuses.

To stop birds nesting under eaves and on ledges of buildings.
We tried to buy the plastic equivalent, and they were so ridiculously expensive we decided against it. We just sweep the nests out as quick as they build them...

Yes Tiz...but does he need to be hit with ALL of them?!
Gosh this is wearing...
I shall go and get the Whiskey shortly ( I had put it away days ago) and I shall make him a Hot Lemon Toddy.

(Groan!) hubby has 2 antibiotics left...he started coughing again this afternoon...has his sore throat back...and is talking Hot Lemon Drinks again. Will we survive a second round?!!

"The dwelling on his neck"...ha! I love it.
not good of course if the dwelling is swelling. Hope it is just scar tissue..
( Come on Jack! It's time you healed and stopped worrying your dear old Dad! This affair with Sausages cannot go on forever!)

....and we are seeing buds and blossoms on our walks...

Another magnificent pot of Vegetable Soup has been made. It's a " 2 night" pot...so easy day tomorrow too.
I muttered another cure into it of course, but I think we are well on the way to recovery now.

Feeling much better than we did, but still not up to full strength yet. Taking care of each other and getting plenty of rest. Can't seem to stay up past 8pm, but sleeping pretty well through until 6am (then the coughing starts!) ( I can't understand why I have a mild niggling backache and my eyeball...

An old standby - Apricot Chicken with Jasmine Rice and Naan Bread.
I've promised hubby I will make Soup for him tomorrow...

I salute you, Plaques! ( unfortunately it is small serves for us at present because we haven't had normal appetites due to ill health...gosh...we even found the "Baby Peas" a bit big!)

David is still not on a winning streak. He clenched his teeth when coughing and broke a back tooth!
( do you think we should buy a lottery ticket or something? )

Is your sister still alive, Stanley?

An early IKEA depiction?

We are on the improve! Slept all night, woke up coughing with the persistent sore throat, but otherwise felt pretty darn good. This led to a flurry of housework which depleted my energy rather too rapidly. We then had a large delivery arrive. By the time I unpacked it, dealt with foam and polystyren...

Red Salmon and Cauliflower Mornay tonight, with Weight Watcher's style chips.

Good for you. Much better. You brought back memories though. I had to take Carbemazepine ( though I'm not sure if that is the correct spelling). I can't be bothered looking it up -I found it an evil drug and quickly resolved I would rather live with the pain than feeling like I was walking through w...

I didn't have a plastic frame ( that I remember...I had a lid.) It was a bit coffin like. I had to lay very still with my eyes closed. It was claustrphobic, but I think there was a breeze blowing on my face, so that made it ok. Over quite quickly.. I had shingles in my ear canal, along the nerve on ...

They are probably busy, digging the pool, Stanley.

I had an MRI of my head when I had Shingles. Your metal fillings zing for a bit afterward! Some improvement here in that we slept better last night. Some mild improvement for both of us, but we are still coughing and dosing sore throats.. Appetites slightly better. Had a long walk near the beach tod...
