Taking It Easy!

As soon as it's light I will venture out for my daily walk but that's the only thing on the list for today. 

I'm looking forward to an easy day while I get over the worst of this cold. I'd be able to go to work if I had to but I don't, so I may as well enjoy one of the plusses of retirement and pamper myself while I feel under the weather. So today will be filled with naps, Netflix films, afternoon TV games shows, and reading, interspersed by breaks for coffee, hot chocolate and food. I'm not 'ill', just that horrible feeling at the start of a cold so you don't need to feel sorry for me! 

I made it as far as Bradford on Avon yesterday but, as soon as I parked the car, I bumped into an ex work colleague who I haven't seen for at least fifteen years ... a lovely surprise and all thoughts of photography were abandoned while we went for coffee and a catch up. It was one of those lucky meetings as she now lives in Leeds and has been visiting in the area for the past week. It was great to catch up with her and once she'd got over the shock of Ced's illness and death, we had loads to talk about. 

I still haven't heard back from the handyman with a price or a date to do the work so I will have to look for someone else. That can be added to the list of admin tasks for next week, but it is frustrating when you never hear back about quotes. I also have to make appointments to see the doctor and optician, and to reorder my next supply of medication ... it seems that March is turning out to be a medical month as I already have a physio appointment arranged.

Tomorrow I will be doing the 'feed a cold' bit of the saying, so something to look forward to and I'll tell you all about it. No details for now except to say it's not at all diet friendly!!
