Cough Cough Cough

And don't mention the snotty nose, good heavens where does it all come from!!!


A week ago I became victim to a vicious cold virus. Aching, coughing, sneezing, wheezing, unable to breath properly. It has been the worst cold I have ever had. The cough and snotty nose are still lingering but thankfully I am starting to feel much better, more energy, more active, my social life can continue. I missed a few things last week, the most disappointing was a trip to the theatre to see The Mousetrap. I've seen it before, a long time ago and was so looking forward to seeing it again but I just couldn't go out with all those germs in my system. Maybe I can book again next year.

Dear reader I hope you keep well and don't catch a cold.

~Take care ~

  4. Oh no, Polly. It has to be pretty bad to cancel a trip to the theatre. I'm so sorry. Please get well soon.

    1. Thank you Jeanie. It has been very bad, and I still have a bit of a cough and a runny nose. I was beyond disappointed, I sat here thinking "I would be taking my seat now in time for curtain up" x

  5. A really heavy cold is no fun at all. Hope you recover quickly. Have you had a flu jab? I'm due to have one next week.

  6. Poor you - I don't think people in general realise just how awful and debilitating a bad cold can be to the victim. I had my flu jab last week, and always find that it is well worth getting it.
    Take care Polly and keep yourself cosy.

    1. Thank you Rosemary. I know what you mean, I think most people think of a cold as just a few days of coughing and sneezing, if I was still working I would feel very guilty taking such a long time off work, but this has knocked the stuffing right out of me, it's been 9 days now! I will only think of myself as being well when the cough finally stops - almost there :-)

  10. Glad you're on the mend. Having a cold sounds so innocuous but it's really miserable. We saw The Mousetrap many years ago in a tiny theatre in the West End.

  11. I'm sorry you've been feeling under the weather, Polly. Cold viruses can make you feel really rotten. I had quite a bad cold a few weeks ago, and it really took it out of me.

  12. Oh that's horrible Polly. The change of weather flu is the worst. Glad to hear that you are at least feeling a little better, probably another week or so until you are up to 100%. Take care and don't do too much too quickly.
