Giveaway Winners and a Thin Week


It has not been a good week as I have succumbed to proper, old fashioned flu. The kind that comes with fever, aches and pains, cough, cold, headache and general grumpiness. 





Not only have I felt horribly ill but I have missed several things that I have been looking forward to for ages. Namely:

  • The Kingcombe Stitch Retreat, four days of heaven with my mates.
  • West Country Embroiderers Dorset Day
  • My favourite cousin's big birthday lunch


To add insult to injury I have also given the flu to my friend Elli.

My friend Jane (Wild) has also been a victim - one day ahead of me. Our suspicions that we caught it at a singing workshop were given credence when our singing tutor had to cancel a class due to flu, another victim.

The one bright note was our daily phone calls to check on each other, not so much conversations as prolonged coughing sessions - Jane on her phone, me on mine, spluttering at each other. At least it made us laugh - which made us cough more.

I am on the mend at last but I have such pains in my ribs from all the coughing, Poor  Clive has been worn to a frazzle looking after me.

Flu is really horrid - I've only had it twice and it really knocks the stuffing out of you. Glad you are on the mend - your friends too. Look after yourselves, it is still very cold outside.
