Sunday
Well, wanting to do something different yesterday went out the window when I realised that the Alastair Sim version of 'Scrooge - A Christmas Carol' was on TV. It's one of my must-watch films at this time of year and is, in my opinion, the best film version of the story ... closely followed by The Muppet Christmas Carol!
Before that I did have a go at improvising on the piano. I won't win any awards for my efforts but it's high on the list as a fun way to pass some time. Thank you to Joy for that suggestion. I also filled a box with puzzle books, colouring book and pencil crayons, and a sketch book and pencils, all gathered from around the house, which gives me a nice selection of fun things to stop me getting bored today. Many thanks for all of your suggestions.

I also sorted a few things out in my head so yesterday was more productive than I'd anticipated. My 'One Little Word' for 2020 has been selected but I will write a separate post on that. I have settled on a possible resolution to a troublesome friendship, and have a clearer understanding of why I am procrastinating on completing the decluttering.
I'm feeling much better today with a noticeable improvement of all symptoms but will still continue to take it easy. A couple of friends messaged me last night wanting to visit today but I have put them off and will have another cosy day at home. I desperately want to get some fresh air so, if it stays dry, I may wrap up warm, open the windows and do a few circuits of the garden while the house gets refreshed. Then it'll be back indoors for another day of puzzles, TV or listening to music. I have a bit of an appetite as well so am going to treat myself and will order an Indian takeaway to be delivered.
It sounds like a very creative an profitable day - good for you. And a walk in the garden will clear away the cobwebs and do you the world of good, I am sure.
ReplyDeleteI'm a great fan of the Muppets' Christmas Carol too. It's brilliant.

The few minutes spent outside have brightened me up considerably. I thought you'd like the Muppets Christmas Carol ... we seem to share tastes in many things 😊
DeleteIt's part of my Christmas tradition. :-) Yes, we do, don't we?
DeleteI'm gad the fresh air has helped.

Sounds like you had a very good day, after all. I am glad to read that you have a bit of an appetite - always an indication that things are improving. Glad you'll have another day of rest. Take it easy and feel better, soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm fairly sure the infection has gone now, although I still have more tablets to take to finish the course. I'm seeing the doctor again tomorrow and he should be able to confirm that. I'll still opt for a quiet Christmas but will feel easier about going out if I feel up to it.
