Have been feeling sorry for myself since last week as have been very unwell. Saw a Dr and I have a viral upper respiratory tract infection (cough) AND pharyngitis (strep throat) at the same time. Joy oh joy. Have antibiotics and a week off work.
I seem to have forgotten I’m middle aged and have tickets to a club night tonight that starts at 11pm. I’m usually in bed by then so am trying to work out how to stay up!
Once a week when I’m working from home I try to squeeze a lunchtime sauna in. There’s a lovely beach sauna a couple of miles away in Shoreham I go to. Went today and ended up sitting next to Ben Fogle! He was perfectly charming as you’d expect. (If you don’t know who he is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Fogle ) Turns out he loves a sauna and goes whenever he can.
Early morning dip in the sea today but low tide meant a lot of walking out to get any depth. So cold it felt like it was burning which is just the way I like it.
Morning Fedizens. Eldest child turns 18 today and I’m still in shock this is possible. Let her have a party last night and thankfully it was all fine (no gatecrashers or damage).
I’m #CurrentlyReading Small Pleasures by Clare Chambers and enjoying it. Was pleasantly surprised that the main character grew up in the area I did though the book isn’t set there. Only halfway through so fingers crossed I enjoy it to the end. @bookstodon
Blimey, Storm Ciarán hit here last night and we had 60mph winds off the sea and torrential rain. Still the milkman managed to deliver milk this morning! What a hero/nutter
