I have another cold. On the evening of December 30, I got a headache and by new year’s eve, I was so miserable that I went to bed at 11 unable to make the party to which we had kindly been invited or even to stay up to listen to the bells ringing in the new year. Frankly, not an auspicious start to the year. Yesterday, I didn’t feel up to going to the new year’s day party to which we were invited. We spent the day at home. My sister-in-law and her husband from London came for lunch and stayed for a couple of hours. They are very soothing, undemanding guests, while also being entertaining so it was quite pleasant for me. Mr. Waffle felt that they might have been a bit bored by spending an afternoon listening to me recounting my various ills but I am sure that they had a lovely time. The boys went off to a birthday party and stayed over with the birthday boy, so the evening was very peaceful. I was very sorry for myself. Today I feel alright but not fantastic, still mainlining lemsip and somewhat fed up. The boys will be home shortly from their birthday extravaganza to tend to their sick mother. I am sure that they are looking forward to that. And back to work on Monday. Sigh.
More news to follow. In the interim, I trust that your Christmas was satisfactory and wish you every happiness for 2016. As you know, every reader is precious to me.
Not a great start to the New Year, I would agree. It can only get better! Keeping my fingers crossed for a speedy recovery. I have been feeling sorry for myself, too. All the lemsip is used up, apart from the disgusting apple and cinnamon flavoured sachets that nobody likes. Happy New Year!
You’ve certainly had a rough trot lately. Hope that your year, and health, improves soon. Best wishes to you all, but especially to you x
Thank you both for your best wishes, I am feeling a bit better today but still very sorry for myself. Christina, I had no idea that there was a cinnamon flavoured lemsip. A really horrifying vista opens up.
