I feels like its been a while since I last blogged and to be honest not much has happened. Some viral illness has been affecting the group one by one and has chosen its 5th victim this week (me). For the past week I have been stuck in the house with gastrointestinal upset, this came to a crescendo last night with fever and vomiting which was very unpleasant. I have lost 18lb in weight since coming here and I think I will come back looking like I've been in a desert for 8 weeks!
I have been receiving reports that the weather has been crap (surprise surprise) in the UK and Ireland? lots of April showers? It has started raining here too, so maybe the weather might improve for you all... Apparently my bees have been flying lots and lots and hopefully some honey might be available when I come back in May. The pigs are getting bigger so some pork may also be on the cards for May/June!
I feel like I am being miserable here, but when your ill and in a different country its really shite! We have got 4 more chickens to cheer me up and lay a few more eggs...At the moment I wish I was home but I'm praying that the sickness passes as we are meant to be going on Safari (3rd time lucky) this weekend, and that would cheer me up a lot!
Hopefully my next blog will have lots of Safari photos and less D+V!
Take care all x
hope you are feeling a bit better! everyone is fine here
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear you've got the D&V again! Very far from fun and probably making your time drag something rotten. I'm guessing you aren't allowed to work, even you you felt well enough. GET WELL VERY SOON!
ReplyDeleteI've torn my left calf muscle (again) so am having to stop my Manchester 10km training with only a month to go!!! I look forward to 21st May when it will be over and I can give my old body a proper rest....meanwhile....tomorrow we're going indoor skydiving at the Airfixx place, near the Trafford Centre. It was a Christmas present and I'm really, really looking forward to it.
I keep seeing Furious-Fury aka. Furry. She's been coming over each evening. It's definitely cupboard love, although she has started rolling onto her back for me, which I believe might signify she likes me a bit and not just the catnip treats!
Other than that, things are pretty quiet. No.47 have fenced off their front garden, it was a work in progress as I passed at 8:30pm last night, and it looked good. I think Laura at no.28 has had her baby. I only noticed she was pregant about a month ago. So much for neighbourly bonding, eh? She only lives directly across the road from me!
Ed and Helen, at no.30, have been making a path in their back garden, they had a huge bag of pea gravel, so this is perhaps something you'll be able to see from your bathroom window once you're home? I know, it's cruel of me to taunt you with such an exciting prospect when you're so far away. Sadly, Helen's dog, Jazz, died last month, but she's thinking of getting another one.
No sign of anyone else doing anything else, but I keep the blinds twitching!
Really do hope you feel better and the Safari and some company cheers you up. It really isn't all that long until you're back.
