Hard luck Sue, you seem to be getting more than your fair share of colds.... I hope it clears up soon.
I shall be in the shed first thing and will roast my chicken today. Once again I had a good sleep last night but I'm running early. I shan't worry about that, just take the sleep while it is there!

I had finished the site and was back in bed again at 02:00. I had almost 2 hours sleep and now I am back downstairs with a pot of coffee. I shall have some of that and then put my chicken in the oven. Bitty I know but I'm getting my jobs done and squeezing the maximum sleep in!
Later at 04:45..... My chicken is in the oven and I am seriously considering declining the shed. .....

Morning

Yes the second one in a month Stanley. This one is just a runny nose and mild congestion , I only had a hint of a sore throat on Saturday evening. I am up in the kitchen with a cuppa as I cannot sleep, and am feeling bored. I have finished one book on my kindle and started another but sleep evaded me .

Today will be another quiet day in, maybe a walk to the nearer post office to return an item to Amazon. I will see how I feel later with regards to pilates and yoga this evening

Its due to be a cool dry day . Have a good day all

Morning Sue!
"I am up in the kitchen with a cuppa as I cannot sleep, and am feeling bored. I have finished one book on my kindle and started another but sleep evaded me . "
Tell me about it Sue, I am going through a phase of the same thing. I think the score over the last 15 hours is one four hour sleep and three two hours. It's getting better slowly but I am fed up with it. I hope we both do better!
I am just about to deal with my chicken..... So at least I have a warm kitchen from the oven! :biggrin2:

Today I shall be mainly recovering after a long, long journey. We (my daughter and I) went to see Madness at Minehead. It was a regular thing, then after 6 years they finished the contract but the group were back on this weekend and they plan to do another in 2026. We've already booked! It is a great weekend and a great way to decompress.

Well done Julie but I;m afraid that would put my lights out! I have improved the shining hour by sorting my chicken, cleaning up after the roast and then making two cabbages and two onions into savoury cabbage. Lovely stuff and just right for my diet!
I am looking forward to my dinner, today's chicken and veggies. Then another dadnap to top my sleep bank up!

Once again I am doing my best with a very uneven sleep pattern. Apologies to anyone trying to keep up but I am doing my best!
I hope to be in the shed early doors but missed yesterday....
At 22;53 I had done all my site editing and went back to bed to try to get some more sleep in. I shall return! :biggrin2:

When I next woke up it was almost 02:00. I had clawed back another three hours of sleep. So I have brewed my coffee and tried to make sense of something else that has happened.
Do you remember a few months since I stumbled on what seemed to be an illustrated serial about life in a forest community? I was directed to the start of the experience this morning, it's all there waiting for us but i can't remember how to access it! If I remember right Tripps found it as well. Can anyone give me and the rest of the site a clue on how to access it?

Morning

That was better, apart from a trip to the loo about 2, I slept from 11.30 till 7.30 pm. This morning i have a thick head but hopefully will now be on the mend as this is day 4 and a bit. I didn’t do pilates and yoga as I felt quite yuk yesterday evening. Maxine has said no to a sewing session this afternoon as neither she nor Ian, her husband, are in the best health so its best to avoid a cold. Thus I have no plans for the day apart from another day of taking it easy. Its due to be cloudy and dry, about 6 degrees. Have a good day all

Perhaps that's the key Sue.... Taking it easy and looking after yourself. Whatever, I hope your progress continues...
I have squeezed all the sleep I can out of the system, had my shower and change of clothes and I'm downstairs washing the next load and dealing with the last wash which is still on the rack in the kitchen. Looking ahead I think I'll be cooking buttered swede as an extender....

Travelling to Leeds today to see "Miss Saigon" at the theatre. Its the matinee so we will get a bit of lunch in Leeds and tea before we come back. Bus to Skipton then train, open return so we can get any trains we want as the day pans out. My birthday present from Sally, should be good. :smile:

I reckon you'll enjoy it, we did :good:

Off to Thoresby Hall Hotel this morning for a few days. There's some refurbishment works ongoing so hopefully there's not too much disruption.
