I
found myself feeling a bit poorly this past week. I'd not
been up to par, as I said last week. Well, I went to work
on Monday, but by noon, I was headed home. I came home,
took more Lemsip, settled
down to watch TV, and fell asleep! I stayed home and nursed
myself with Lemsip, oranges, orange juice, oatmeal and blueberries,
and soup. Lil Sutton, Bruce Corrie and Vicky McQuade took
pity on me and came to see if there was anything I might
need, and to check up on me from time to time.
I was home Tuesday and Wednesday, and Wednesday afternoon,
I was feeling much better. On Thursday I ventured back to
work, and I made it the rest of the week, granted, only
1 day more!
On Friday I met Nicola Laube at the Rose
and Crown for lunch. They are back serving
lunch again, hooray! We had a nice catch-up since her anniversary
party, which was the last time I'd seen her. All too soon
it was time for us to head back to work. I finished the
day and headed home to settle in and watch the opening of
the Winter
Olympics, and how impressive it was.
Saturday I headed into town, stopping at Newgate
Market to visit with Bess and Arthur Rhodes, then on
to Marks
and Spencer to purchase Sally Corrie's
birthday present. I found Paula Downey working there, and
we had a nice visit, as always. From there it was on to
the post office, and then to Sainsbury's
to pick up a few things. I came home and wrapped Sally's
present, and I called to see if she was home. We'd not seen
each other since well before I left for the States for Christmas.
Anyway, she was home; so I went round and delivered her
present to her. We had such a nice visit! As I was about
to leave, Bruce and Alexander arrived. They'd been to pick
up Alexander's brand new puppy, an 11-week old beagle, and
what a cutie she is! Anyway, I left and let them get on
with keeping up with the puppy in it's explorations of it's
new home.
Today I made another journey to the supermarket (am I the
only one who seems to NOT be able to remember to pick up
everything on their list?), then came home, did some ironing
(it never ends!), and then prepared a late lunch and watched
the Olympics. I do so love the Olympics!
Our weather has been quite cold this past week, and the
wind has really been blowing!
Here's hoping all is going well for all of you.
Love,
