Friday 30th October
So last night I lingered in the bath and even took my Kindle and read for an hour or so. I’d had the fire going all day so the house was really warm and the bathroom with its heated towel rail is bliss when you get out. I didn’t stay up long after that and took to my virginal couch Unfortunately it was five when I started my day but it was a grey day. There was a glimmer of sunlight in the north east but it took ages for dawn to break and it felt cold when I went out to check on Gladys and decided that it was not worth hanging the washing out so it went onto the clothes airer in the bathroom..
After yesterday’s phone calls to the bank I was determined to get the letter off to them so I got a little shopping list together and I think I managed most of it. I cleared out the beer bottles and delivered them to the garage so they can use them for selling oil, anything that needed to be ditched in the container in Djebel was loaded in the car. Rubbish gone, bottles gone and letter gone…Success.
I stopped of at my student’s parents shop and we caught up since I hadn’t been there for a while. I refused to hug saying that I was a germ area to be avoided and in her usual way she came up with how to clear congestion on the chest using honey and the palm of a hand to pat the area for twenty minutes to create a vacuum supposedly to get rid of the toxins…..maybe give it a try later. I did go into the chemist and picked up a two day supply of antibiotics, I seem to be coughing but not moving anything…I’ll give it another couple of days and only take them if I need them. I topped up with fresh bread, spicy sausage, lemons and cheese and in the little supermarket I met Gouldjan’s mum so gave her a lift home. She keeps insisting that I go and visit them and I’ll probably do it at the weekend. I mentioned that I had flu so wasn’t really up to visits but she said she’d got it anyway so no problem.
Well, home for one thirty, cheese and onion sandwich on fresh bread for lunch, out with the Kindle and promptly fell asleep on the sofa in front of the fire. I came to around four thirty, fire still going nicely so in for the evening. The cheese sandwich is still filling the gap so might feel like heading for the kitchen later….but six my time and so far so good. Mrs D of S reckons that red wine cures a cough so honey on the chest patting it gently and holding a glass could be the recipe for a good if not great evening…LN…I’ll let you know....LN
