I got well and truly hit by a horrible bug. A cough so violent it gave me a headache at the back of my head and hurt my ears so much that I had to press against them every time I coughed. Then I managed to get a migraine three days on the trot. Two lots of anti-biotics later I am feeling like returning to the world of the humans :rotfl:

As stated, still coughing and my ears still hurt when I do. I certainly feel better than I did but still not right
Yesterday being my day off I had a 'me' day. Face mask, deep conditioned my hair, de-forested my legs and gave myself a manicure.
Poor Colin got beaten up by the tiny lady cat who has moved in across the way. He's been stalking her for a couple of days and clearly she has had enough. She boxed his ears and sent him on his way. Honestly he's twice the size of her too. Watching an overweight tabby frantically wriggling under the fence to get away from his very irritated object of affection was quite funny.
Every thing is ready for the homecoming of the boys, well, everything except their feed which I will collect in a week or so ready for the Easter weekend. Hay and straw are in the barn, shelter is up and very sturdy, stables are snug and fields are fenced. :TTotal debt at October 2008: £67,213.30

Great news about the boys coming home!
Try some manuka honey (must be at least 15+) for your cough - it was the ONLY thing which shifted mine last winter. Pricey, but worth it.0 -
