It was a beautiful morning yesterday and if I hadn't developed this awful cough and cold, I would have walked to look at the sea.. but the blue skies were so lovely and because I was feeling hot, I thought a walk around the bungalow was just what I needed. Its 178 or 200 steps all the way round on the path.. One way round is easier because there are 3 individual shallow steps to go up and then round the north side there are 2 deeper steps to go down and Dh has fixed some grab bars there, so I feel safe. I walked round twice and then because it was so pleasant I sat out on the patio and listened to the birds, no other sounds and the sky was blue and the sun was shining, it was very pleasant.
I'd also had a phone call for the appointment with the urologist the week after next, so well pleased.. Its for 8:30 am, so we'll have to leave home before 8 to get there on time!
Dh went to the Book Group Meeting by himself, as I was coughing so much.. Afterwards he went to Boots to get some more cough medicine and I asked could he get some Dequindine throat tabs, but they have been removed from sale, as they found that they contained anti-biotics, no wonder they were so good!
So cough, cough, cough! Hope Dh doesn't get it, we've stopped kissing!
Anyone got this awful cough? I think I caught it in SW, as that new member was talking right in front of me. I doubt I'll have lost any weight, as the medicine has sugar and the throat lozenges, but I'm keeping to the food plan, arrgg I can't win!

There's some really nasty things going the rounds at the moment - I hope yours clears up quickly. Take care. xx
Wonderful news that you have finally got your appointment. I hope you're over your cough and cold soon, it can be quite debilitating can't it.
I don't have a cough, but I have had the shivers for the last couple of days and have been dosing up to try stop it developing into anything nastier. We always used to buy glycerin and thymol to gargle with for sore throats. It really did the job, but that was removed from sale too. The EU said that it could be carcinogenic. You would probably have to drink a bottle a day for years for it to have any adverse effect! I do have thyme in my garden, so have used thyme tea and my friend recommends clove tea.
Stay warm, keep well hydrated and relax. By the time your urology appointment comes round, you'll be fighting fit again. 😀
Colds are just so irritatingly nasty. Nice you got outside. I can only go out 4 or 5 times a day for the birds. Too much snow this winter for the first time in years.
Hope the coughing stops soon.
I hope your cough is soon better! Glad you got an appt!
What a shame you are sick, Chris. Getting outside probably helped a bit, just to get into the fresh air. I hope you are able to get rid of it quickly.
There are a lot of nasty coughs and colds going around at the moment, I hope you feel better soon.
Good news about your urology appointment.
All the best Jan
D has that cough at the moment and she is feeling pretty rough. I hope you manage to get rid of it quickly and Dh doesn't pick it up.
