That is just how I feel today. I was awake at 3am suffering with a runny node and an neddache.

Awh, *hugs* Hope you'll feel more chipper soon.

Felt so, so cold earlier, I went to warm up in a steaming hot bath with lots of lavender bubbles and a good book.

 

[Reynard]

Still in jimjams feeling slightly sorry for myself. Fire is lit and I'm needle felting a tree to take my mind off all the bits that hurt. Man flu has definitely struck

Hope you're feeling a bit less *bleurgh* xxx

I went out to Tesco to keep my mind off feeling grotty and stressy. Nothing beats a nice wee spot of yellow stickering

Lucked out majorly on avocadoes

 

[Speicher]

I avoid large supermarkets, at all costs. The combination of the intense lighting which distorts colours, the tannoy system and/or loud music, and people rushing about, not to mention the trolleys etc, make my brain feel like it is going to explode. I order the heavy stuff on-line.

I use the small shops, including a greengrocer who sells local produce, yummy cakes, wonderful biskits, and jams, spices etc. There is a small Tesco about the size of a tennis court for milk etc,

Beware the fault line.

Beware the fault line.

I have yet to see trams in there. The staff have a very good serve.

Can we now expect a volley of puns?

 

[Speicher]

I will return to this subject later today, to see how long I can spin this

OUT!

 

[Reynard]

You cannot be serious! The ball was on the line!!!

 

[Reynard]

Just settling down to a mug of chamomile, lemon balm & lavender tea.

Hopefully it'll let me have a good night's sleep and I'll feel a bit less stressy.

Worse not better
Will not be going to work later (can't remember the last time I had a day off sick)

I may have eaten 3 slices of Mr Kipling Christmas cake

Nothing to be ashamed about, I have a soft spot for French fancies, once I rip that cellophane open the contents have been given their four minute warning......

Weather much like Abingdon at the weekend... but with less snow.

Good and bad news so far, I have one of the better rooms with a double bed, a lleather sofa, proper dining table and chairs and small kitchen. There is a bath with a shower in it, but no fixing on the wall for the shower head. I did manage half a bath of hot water. There was a ysed bar of soap by the bath too which was nice.
The shower curtain duly collapsed which is OK because I didn’t need it, as did an arm of the towel rail.
On the plus side, they have a new chef for the breakfast who is able to do fresh eggs over-easy!!! This is a major improvement.

It’s the glamour...

Yes, theres a massive one by me, the ricoh arena tesco, we rarely use it, we prefer the little Morrisons round the corner, its very popular and always busy.

Mr R forget to put the bin out and the bin men came early.

At -4C today is not the best day to be dashing outside in a dressing gown.

I hope there are no pictures of this....

 

[Illaveago]

It is only -3 C here according to the car. I've been out and fed the birds, some of the wet cat food I put out next to a Hedgehog last night was frozen stiff but when I lifted the improvised tunnel most of the food had gone. The grass inside the tunnel was also clear of frost so it did provide a bit of shelter.
I'm not sure if the Hedgehog managed to find the food inside or if it was a crafty cat.

Is the chef the Swedish Chef from the Muppets?
