Happy Days, Difficult Days

I didn’t blog yesterday because a) we hadn’t done anything of note; b) I was tired; and c) the computer had no internet for some reason. Sorted that out today though, and we’re now back up and running!

That’s a bit more than I can say for John. Although he isn’t fainting, he’s definitely not up and running and still feeling under the weather. I am not sure what to do with him next, but we’ll see how we go on.

However, we had a lovely afternoon which cheered us up no end. Pete and Dawn came round and we had a good laugh together. Mostly at all our misfortunes but still, we made the most of the stories in the telling! At one point, we were all belly laughing so much that our sides ached. Well, mine did, anyway.

John had stayed in bed until lunch-time and shook a leg to get downstairs in time for our guests. I had got up earlier and pottered about with one thing and another. There is always something to do, isn’t there?

I had booked a mobile valeting service to come and wash the cars this morning, so he came just before mid-day and beavered away making both cars sparkling clean. Lovely jubbly!

I took on an additional job however, when I suspected that the drainage for the car-washing water might be clogged and I thought I ought to clear it out. So I got out a bucket, brush and trowel to do the deed. The drainage channel was full of bits from where we’d had the flood last year and also extra bits from when the roof tiles were repaired. Easy and satisfying job. All in all, I was pleased I’d sorted it out, and the water from the car washing flowed away quite nicely.

We just watched a bit of TV this evening, but I noticed that John seemed to be not feeling so well as the evening wore on. He was feeling a bit sickly and couldn’t quite face taking his painkillers let alone his evening tablets. “I think I’ll go to bed,” he said.

When I finally caught up with him he was being sick. Oh, dear! A call to 111 and we’ll see what they say. More news tomorrow folks…….

Take care everyone. God bless.
