Oh Woe is Me!!

 


Just me, stood on my doorstep, pondering life.

Sorry to be missing in action, but Mum's care home went into lockdown due to Norovirus on Monday, one day after we visited on Sunday.

Guess what?

Yep, we both started with it simultaneously on Monday teatime ... thank goodness we have separate bathrooms.  Ginger started the next day, poor thing.  There's nothing worse than listening to your beloved pet yowl while jettisoning liquid from both ends.

On that note I will leave you, I'm not a sympathy seeking person. 😷  

See you next week, when hopefully I have more energy and brain power to write a proper blog post. 

 You would not believe the amount of corrections I have had to make on this little post!!

  7. Poor you. Keep warm. Lie down as much as you can.
    My Mum would say, “Better an empty house than a bad tenant.”
    Hot water to sip may be more comforting than cold.
    A small pinch of salt, a teaspoon of white sugar and a squeeze of orange or lemon to a pint of boiled water, for rehydrating.

  10. Take care all of you. We had a similar experience after visiting my Mum in her care home just before we were due to go on my 50th birthday trip away. Flat ginger ale was all I could drink for a few days. Catriona
