    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    He cleaned the chicken coop, fitted hoops & a protective cover to one of our raised beds and emptied the hot compost bin for me and then made me copious cups of tea and cooked pot-roast pheasant with chorizo, butter beans & parsley for dinner (the 2 symptoms I haven't got are nausea/vomiting and loss of appetite!)

    Hope you feel better soon MWC. The above recipe is one of my favourites, hope you managed to enjoy it despite feeling rubbish. :(

    Take care.
