Not Well

 OH has had a cough and cold for a while and so unfortunately I've now caught it. My main problem is that as I've COPD every cold ends up in a bad chest infection. After a few days trying with Sudafed and paracetamol I knew I needed to see the Dr. Our phones were down due to the recent storms damaging the masts, so OH took me to the surgery. The receptionist was absolutely lovely as she could see and hear how ill I was. Gave me an appointment in an hour's time there and then. My chest was so noisy it was quite embarrassing infront of the Dr. She wouldn't have needed the stethoscope to hear my breathing. Prescribed antibiotics and steroids again, and told to come back straight away if it gets worse or doesn't clear up. Wonderful caring Drs here in Devon - we're so lucky. Finished the tablets today and I am feeling a bit better but still not completely cured. May need to go back if it gets worse again. OH has been good, making drinks, cooking meals, vacuuming, etc. It's difficult to do anything when you're breathless all the time. My dogs seem to know I'm ill and keep trying to sniff my mouth and chest. Also, cuddling up to me a lot more than usual. Perhaps they can smell the infection idk.

Ebay is very slow atm but I'm quite pleased it is. I was going to put it on hold for a week but as only one thing sold I haven't needed to. 

Well nothing much happening here, except I'm pretty fed up being in the house all the time. Must try and get out tomorrow if only for a ride in the car.

Bye for now All the best x

    Oh no, how awful, you must be so sick of - well - feeling sick! (not feeling well I mean). Plus it's so frustrating when you're stuck at home not feeling well enough to go out. I hope you feel lots better very soon.

    Thanks Sooze I'm slowly improving but not fit yet. Think this is probably flu as there's a lot of it about x

An Update

 Well I went to the market in town which was lovely to look around. OH had a stall with others promoting the U3A. This is a club for people who are retired and over 50. OH has been playing Badminton, Bouls, Shooting at targets, visiting various Mansion houses and Gardens like the brochure and playing Chess. It did rain on and off but he was under the big tent there. I looked around but didn't buy anything as prices were high eg £5 for a pancake! The cleaning routine has been put on hold this week as,  apart from stripping the bed and doing 2 loads of washing I've been in quite a lot of pain from the tooth extraction so decided to rest. Feeling better today so hopefully it will continue healing now. Son did the vacuuming for me which was a big help. Managed to sell some china and clothes on ebay and send it all but thats about it.                                          ...

Busy times and what a Bargain

Image
Ready for family visiting   Went back to my friend's home last week and OH sorted out the base for the greenhouse. He used to work as a buildings manager/builder so knew how to do it properly. Will probably go again in a few weeks when all visiting family leave. ATM we have son here for a fortnight and daughter, granddaughter and eldest son coming for next weekend! Quite a houseful really. I went to a car boot sale last weekend and bought 2 brand new, sealed in packet Dorma duvet covers and matching pillow cases. Can't believe the price only £13 for all of it. Has to be my bargain of the year. Also bought a pretty M&S top for me for £1 and a small football game table for the grandchildren.  OH bought a concrete Dragon garden ornament, another plant and a plant pot.  We also drove to Dawlish last week as they had an event on the lawns there with music and various drink and food stalls. OH enjoyed testing the different beers lol. I'm not Tea- Total but don't drink ...

The Dog Show

          1st Prize for the Waggiest Tail We decided to enter the dogs in the Dawlish Carnival Dog Show just for fun. Ava, our granddaughter, and our daughter were staying with us so Ava was delighted to take one of the dogs in the ring. She was closely followed by OH holding our other dog. Molly won the waggiest tail, coming first and was rewarded with a rosette and cone of dog biscuits. Her tail does wag constantly and at least twice the speed of other dogs lol. Nice afternoon there and thankfully the weather stayed dry for the day. Ava had a go on the bouncy castle and Mark won her a soft toy penguin on the rifle range. Managed to get the washing dry on the line today as tomorrow's forecast is heavy rain and thunder storms. It really seems like Autumn rather than August atm. The Carnival parade is tomorrow but we won't be going to that due to the weather. Bye for now All the best x
