The Long, Short Week

We had a holiday on Monday but this four day week, as is the case with "short" weeks, seemed relentless, mostly due to the cold and bug I had which had taken up residence in my body, starting Monday night... just in time for work.  Thought I was having an adverse reaction to eating close to my body weight in chocolate, but I think it was a bug.

Still, it's now Saturday and I'm over the worst of it, not felt great today but I think that may be hay fever?  I haven't exercised in over a week but can't seem to motivate myself at the moment.

So the great de-clutter continues, and I can't believe how much stuff I have discarded, you would be proud of me Col.  One caveat is that it is very easy to make decisions about my own stuff, literally, a second or two, the items, letters, mementos I have inherited is trickier and takes.... years sometimes, and the fact that it's already ten years plus, doesn't make it any easier.

I love this time of year, the weather isn't great, I think it's about 13 today and wet and windy, and while I'm not particularly warm, it's warm enough so that the heat doesn't come on and I can open my patio door and let fresh air in for the first time in probably six or seven months.  It's now 21:30 and my patio door is still open, despite the rain, after the winter, this place needs a good airing.

Sunday and we have some sunshine, not particularly warm sunshine, don't think my towels on the line will dry but at least they're having a blow.  I'm still sneezing frequently so I'm still thinking hay fever.

I'm sorting and organising and generally loitering while I await Bee's arrival.  I've had a little scrambled egg and so far, it's stayed put.

So it's two weeks since I started to write this particular entry, it's another holiday weekend here and I still feel awful.  Managed to get a Dr's appointment but it's three weeks away.  My latest thinking is some kind of sudden onset food intolerance, I feel terrible.

We're already into May and in my part of the world at least, it's still not particularly warm, it's fairly dry but cold, May is usually quite warm as I remember, I could really do with some warmth.
