I struggled manfully with cold all day. “Manfully”, in this context means sniffling, sneezing and whining.
I also took a relaxed attitude to work, looking a few things up, taking some photos and dealing with customers.
On the way back from work I stopped off at Sainsbury’s, parked, decided to listen to the chapter end of my audio book, and fell asleep for 45 minutes. Considering I was in bed for 14 hours last night I was surprised I needed more sleep.
After taking pills and eating a large helping of fish pie I am now feeling quite good. Naturally I am trying to conceal this from Julia as she seems happy serving me with cups of tea and stuff. It would be unkind of me to deprive her of the feeling of virtue that comes from looking after me.
The man who parked on our forecourt yesterday seems to have taken the hint and parked outside his own house. As he can’t park on the road he is blocking the footpath. Some people really don’t have much consideration for others.
I’m now deliberating whether to go to bed early (it’s 9.45) just just fall asleep in the chair. The chair is favourite, as I stand a chance of Julia waking me up with a cup of tea,
These colds can take a while to get over. Get better soon!
Yes, and the older I get, the longer they last.
I hope that you got your cup of tea. A man needs looking after.
Sadly I had to make it myself. I think I’m losing the capacity to look pathetic and appealing.
Been laid up here too, first time in a long time I’m ready for winter to end! Feel better! Off to make more tea!
Yes, we’re definitely looking forward to Spring!
Glad you are feeling better. Colds can make a person feel utterly miserable.
It’s a case of two steps forward and one step back…
Still one step ahead?
Yes, I’m getting there slowly. 🙂
Get well soon
Thanks Derrick.
Luv the phrase manfully. I will use it. LOL
🙂
I’m glad you’re feelinbg a bit better. Some people really do regard their cars as an entitled item which they have the right to bring anywhere, so they do.
Very true, 🙂
