I've come down with the cold. It is at that annoying stage where its sitting at the back of my nasal passages and causing me a minor headache. Being the last in the family to get it everyone else is basically unsympathetic to how I'm feeling. Which really is the norm I suppose. As you know though I hate it when illness strikes but who does? You just have to let it run its course though. Sadly that will be several days going by how the rest of the family suffered it. Calum made the biggest moan while Magz was the sickest. That is to be expected considering her health isn't that great to begin with. Sadly the Flu shot she got in autumn didn't give a great deal of protection this year. Luckily now she is on the mend just as I start to feel the rough runniness that signals the beginning.
Gardening season should be upon us soon. The garden is in need of some major tidying. I also need to get out to spray the trees to improve the chance of getting some fruit from the cherry trees. I already pruned the cooking apple tree a month or two ago but lazily left the trimming on the green. The rain was starting so I just wanted to get in doors before the heavens drenched me. I did put it all in one small pile so my excuse isn't that great. And I should have went out by now to clear the grass of the twigs. I just been to lazy to tell the truth. Or rather I just haven't been able to motivate myself beyond doing a daily job search. It is like the energy I had when I became jobless has now drained away. With it days have drifted by leaving me wondering where they have gone. Maybe I will regain so of that energy as the gardening season sweeps in. At least I hope I do.
