Poor poor me. I’ve had a nasty affair with the flu for 4 days. Cannot remember the last time I was properly ill like that, must be years ago.

It got better in general when I moved to Spain, but I am guessing that now El Rubio has started daycare (yes, I found an ok one and he has started. Completely forgotten to write about that. It is going well so far.) I expect there will be a lot more colds and flus coming my way.

So the bed mostly and the sofa a little bit has been my friend. I couldn’t even watch TV as it was too bright and noisy. Just give me a dark room and a hot water bottle. And Lemsip. Lots of  lemsip.  It is one of those things that brits abroad take with them. Unfortunately I was about to hurl after having had lemsip for 3 days and I was desperately trying to find out if someone in the village might have blackcurrant flavour as I had had more than enough of lemon.

No luck in other flavours, but someone had them as tablets rather than sachets, so that did the trick. And more!
Because it seems there was also quite a lot of caffeine in them, so for 2 night in a row I have been unable to fall asleep but dead tired in the morning.

Anyways, I am all better now and just about to brave the rain to take the dogs out for one last walk before we go to bed.
