Well it's official, I have a chest infection. Doctor also thinks I'm stressed from work and a bit depressed. So I now have antibiotics and am signed off work for another 2 weeks. I'm so exhausted I just want to cry. I'm feeling decidedly sorry for myself and wish I could go to sleep and wake up when I'm better.

by my calculations then you will be ripe for a bit of R&R if you still come to me for an adventure....:D:D

if you dont have a larf here then theres no hope...:rotfl::rotfl:

i have plans...;)

Alex... I know where you are coming from when life/work gets you down:o:o

If def need some 'me' time ( I know easier said than done) just to relax, even if it is being a couch potato for a few days, with the tv remote, just flicking through the channels, with a nice hot cuppa and some biscwits...:D really does make you feel better;)

Totally agree with ITSME about trying to sleep sitting up, even if it cat napping ...it will make breathing a bit easier for you...


Weather is totally pants here... even the temps have gone up, with all this wet weather it really does feel cold...

This looked like a twister, but I have never seen one in person, and don't feel confident to say it was.

If it was it would only have been tiny tiny, as I say, a lot of rattling, but not much damage.

Although I knew they happened, I have never been near one and been aware of it. .

Been in plenty bad hurracanes though. . Another reason seaside living just doesn't appeal.....I associate it with hurracane drill and bad hair days, and salt damage to the car and exterior of the house and sand everywhere. Ouch.

Weeellllllll, the experts will probably tell you it's a squall line or some other name but if it turns like a twister, you can track it's path along & it literally picks things up & drops them further on ..... then to me it's a twister Plus occasionally they're seen out at sea as waterspouts.
Our "hurricanes" aren't confined to the coast, unfortunately. Were you over here in the late 80s?

Thanks everyone. I misread the form, it's an UPPER respiratory tract infection, not lower. Which, if you consult wikipedia, means things like colds, rhinitis, sinusitis - but the doctor said it was very flu-like. DH had it but due to his other condition his immune system fought it off in fairly short order. I think because I was already run down it's just having a field day with me. And my chest hurts too much for it to be completely unaffected. If the antibiotics don't sort it out it's the x-ray department for me.

A couple of days sleep would be wonderful, if I could find a position to be comfortable in. Rattly old chest

Afternoon all,

Alex, sorry you're not feeling too great. Once you've had some proper rest it will help you to lift that depression a bit. I know you need to keep warm because of your chest infection, but try to get a little bit of sunlight (hard in this weather I know) during the day.

LIR, living at the seaside is difficult at this time of year, but it does have its advantages, like v little snow! Mind you OH and I can remember doing snow angels on the beach a couple of years ago when the snow got really bad. It was so surreal, the snow was right up to the edge of the water. Needless to say, it didn't last very long! Having been born on the coast and lived there all our lives, we couldn't be anywhere else. The air is so fresh and the views are amazing. But all these things can also be said about the countryside, I guess its just what you're used to.

I am waiting with great frustration to find out if I have been accepted for teacher training, which will start in August. The interview was 12 days ago so I should hear anytime. The waiting is making me hate my current job even more, I don't know how I'll last another 7 months! Wish I could take some holidays so that I can get my lovely seeds sown, although I'm beginning to think I may have too many for the number of windowsills I have in my house without radiators under them...:D

For me it's not an issue of being used to...I spent most of my early childhood with seaside homes......and I like the sea, don't get me wrong. But MY seas were hot, full of brightly coloured fish and tropical fruit you could pick your self when you wandered ashore and there were still a lot of downsides!

Nope, I am a freshwater gal through and through. Put my by a nice clean river or decent lake and I'm very happy.

Alfie how far away is farnborough from you?

We are rain weather warnings :o:o I really do hope this isn't how this year's weather is going to pan out again

We have had wind too today; lots of it, blowing the rain into the barn so that I had to leave there and seek refuge in the polytunnel. I can't wait to get that barn better water/windproofed.

It was OK. I promised to produce some plants for the church spring plant fair, which is at the ridiculously early time of late April or early May, (can't remember) so it was time to get started on that. I also planted up some onions, pricked out some special digitalis "donated" by an open garden last autumn and generally had a nice, easy time.

Sorry you're poorly and down ATM Alex. If it's any consolation we're past the official "most depressing day of the year.":( Put your feet up and have one or two glasses of something you fancy.
