    Awww it’s surprising how a haircut makes them look grown up. You are doing the best thing by not having him too soon. 
    Is your dd doing ok now? Is she back at work yet?
    It’s good to hear you are improving - just take care as my friend kept having relapses - took a good few weeks to get back to normal.

    Glad you are feeling a little better. 
    Do you know how long your sense of taste will be missing for?

    I don't know about the lack  of taste,I think it varies from person to person

    My DD has not been doing too well over the last couple of days, her boss has told her to take the rest of the week off and possibly next week too because she's still coughing a lot and sleeping too much to be fully functional, she is going to phone the DR if it carries on into next week,they cant really do anything though 😟

    The headache sounds horrendous, I hope it eases and you get a decent night's sleep. You are really doing well though - you've been 'proper poorly' and it's going to take time to get fighting fit.

    DS2 lost his sense of taste for ages but is otherwise hale and hearty. As you say, it gets people differently.

    I love that you are looking to go riding again. :)

  • Sorry your day didn't go to plan and insomnia is back. 
    Good news about your work being flexible with you though. Definitely what you need whilst you're still recovering. 
    Hope tomorrow isn't too busy for you x

    It was unseasonably warm here today too. Good job DD1 is paying the vet bill, You must be their best customer right now. Hopefully any infection will be nipped in the bud. Hope you get an easy day tomorrow x
