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.

Just been out in my slippers and pj's to de-ice the bird bath again, not sure what the neighbour will think if she sees me like that, hammer in hand

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

My man flu started on the first of 4 days off, hoping it's cleared up by the time I go back on Thursday, not looking likely yet.

Only got 4 more shifts to work until New-year so will have to be brave and get on with it

It looks like man-flu could be real...

.... never doubted it....

Time to rest
The concept of man flu, as commonly defined, is potentially unjust. Men may not be exaggerating symptoms but have weaker immune responses to viral respiratory viruses, leading to greater morbidity and mortality than seen in women. There are benefits to energy conservation when ill. Lying on the couch, not getting out of bed, or receiving assistance with activities of daily living could also be evolutionarily behaviours that protect against predators. Perhaps now is the time for male friendly spaces, equipped with enormous televisions and reclining chairs, to be set up where men can recover from the debilitating effects of man flu in safety and comfort.

I agree, now where did I put my Lemsip?

I have eaten a lot of cabbage for lunch. Expect foul gusts from the east...

Had @potsy been in?

Too low brow for me, I'm a Tesco boy

 

[SpokeyDokey]

I've never suffered from cracked heels before but I went to bed last night with crack-less heels and woke up this morning with cracked ones. How's that happen? Blooming sore too.

 

[potsy]

Given that Tesco is more low brow than Sainsbury, don’t you mean it was too high brow for you?

When I was a boy we used to look at the Town centre Tesco as a place 'the rich people shopped'

Now I'm a tory I see it as my duty

 

[potsy]

Real Tories shop in M&S...

I go there too











For my 40" waist 28" leg trousers

Aldis,Kroger, Democrat, but trending more socialist in a part of the country full of Republicans and (guffaw) Libertarians.

 

[Reynard]

Good night's sleep, but still feel rather meh and stressy. And just so, so tired...

Did go to the post office this morning to get the cards and parcels away. We have a mobile post office here in the village, and the lady who runs it is truly lovely.
