Anyway, enough self pity. Pete, his mum and I travelled to my parents in Kent on Christmas Eve and had a great few days. Brother 1, brother 2, his wife and 3 kids turned up on Christmas day and I am really pleased that I had the time with my nephews as I feel that I don't know them as well as I should. I gave and received some great presents!
It's worth noting that I have had only one glass of wine in recent days - the last alcohol since going to London on the 21st! The plan has been to go shopping at the sales and I hope the man flu improves a little today as I am having trouble breathing. Not good.
My mum decided to dig out some out photos and this one shows my cousin on the left and me on the right, I guess in 1977. This was my parents very empty garden; not long after this was taken, my Dad planted dozens of trees, established many flower beds and introduced hundreds of plants and shrubs. It's now a very mature garden.
Two years ago I had the worst cold (over Christmas) I ever had. It took me over 6 weeks to shake it completely.
ReplyDeleteI had very little alcohol then.
A miserable time to take such a bad cold.
Get better soon.
ahoj
That cold sounds like a real bummer. Hope it takes leave of you soon so that you can into the New Year with 'renewed vigour'. So here's wishing you a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteBtw You look like you could be a right little scamp when you were a nipper - and I'm not going to mention the wellies ;-)
Let's raise a glass of that wine you're not drinking to your good health and feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteStill miserable, but at least I am not drinking any of that nasty alcohol.
