COLD DARK ROOM

[Momof4]

This morning when I woke up my throat hurt so bad I couldn't swallow. So I made myself a cup of tea (I'm normally not a tea drinker) and added some honey. It didn't taste half bad, but I did put a bit too much honey in it. It started to gag me about halfway through. But my throat feels much better.

It's raining today, but I feel good enough to go out and tend the tortoises and cats.

Later. . .

Do you think it could be strep?

Do you think it could be strep?

Nah. Just a plain old ordinary cold.

That first one is just ASKING for some succulents!

I have some cactus in mind that I’m going to transplant to fill it

I hate that!!! Better get you some meds though till it runs its course:-(

Nah. Just a plain old ordinary cold.

If you can get soluble paracetamol, or something like Lemsip, dissolve some and gargle before swallowing, -that's good for sore throats, or just warm salty water, (but obviously spit that out)
Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you. I feel pretty good, a little achy and run down, but I don't feel sick at all. I'll probably be back up and running on all 3 cylinders tomorrow! I'll take a couple more aspirin after I've put some food into my stomach.

What are your thoughts on this gravel for desert tort?
I love this look because I cannot grow anything! I’m giving up on grass!

Pretty much maintenance free as long as you get a good rain every few months. No grass to trim, very tort friendly, shade, plants, etc.

Thankfully I won't have to do it long term, I don't mind injecting myself but would hate to have to do it to other people.
I wouldn't be a good nurse.

Well I think we have established on this side that I am not a good nurse either.

 

[CarolM]

I am off to bed and should sleep much better tonight.
I'm just glad I don't have to get up in the morning at the moment.
I could get used to that!!
Anyway forgot to wish everyone 'Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus.'
Happy St David's Day!
I didn't get to wear a daffodil today but never mind they look better in the garden anyway.
So Nos Da and take care.

You too Lyn. Sleep tight.

I love that! As long as you don't feed the tortoise anywhere near the gravel it should be ok.

Good afternoon all. Sorry about my continued absence. My health is now more or less where it should be at last (apart from my tree-related hayfever starting [emoji849]). My fitness and energy still need some work, but I did manage two short swims and yoga last week. I have had an awful lot to catch up on in the offline world.

We are travelling north today to see my Mum for the weekend

Overnight, I have had a text from @johnandjade and it sounds like things have really turned round for him at last. He still has no internet, but he starts a new job on Monday



I’m off to email the news to Adam once I persuade Montgomery to let me move... not see you later x

Soooo glad you are feeling more yourself. We missed you. And wow on Johnandjade. Very happy for him.

Our Birdies say good morning and happy Saturday

You have some lovely birds in your area.

 

[CarolM]

Plenty of thunder (& lightning) and heavy rains going on outside right now. Who sent the severe weather? [emoji14]

I will take it. I love weather like that.

My buddies sister does accupunture and cupping. I have used both after serious muscle strains/injuries and come back quicker when combined with physical therapy. I have even had the electro therapy accupunture where they attached the leads to set needles in connecting pathways- imagine the TENS on in the muscle not over. Not for the faint of heart, but awesome for seriously damaged or scared muscles tissue like in my left ankle. Take deep breaths and think of how much better you will feel.

Thank you. [emoji3] keeping that in mind.

 

[CarolM]

Rain rain go away!!!

And come here the same day.

Just be careful and dry properly and get warm once you get back inside. Don't want your throat to get worse.
