Bakers and Cariadon, sorry to hear you are both suffering to. This is the second time we have had it, last October when we came back from Malta and now. With the amount of sun we have had in the last 3 weeks our levels of Vitamin D should be fine. Really putting me off going on another flight. OH still has a cough which he's not happy about as it it hurts his shoulder (Op) when he coughs.
Took myself off for a nice hot shower earlier on so feeling a bit more human now.
Rain just started so no going out for a bit of fresh air.

I remember being on flights with folk smoking all around you and like you as an ex smoker (OH too) I would hate to go back to it.
Christmas 16/17 we flew out to Barbados for a 2 week cruise, on the way out the flight was unbelievably cold with many folk coughing and spluttering. Most of the passengers on the flight were of retirement age so to have the plane so cold was unacceptable. Many complained and asked for the heat to be turned up but it didn't happen, others asked for blankets but there was not enough to go around.
So 5 days into the cruise the the med centre on board was inundated with coughs and colds, us included and for many like us it turned nasty and developed into Bronchitis and Pneumonia. The ships medical staff did swab tests every week on board for things like Norovirus etc. and said they had all been negative and in their opinion it came from the aircon on flights. As the 'cold' would only develop around 5 days into the holiday.
It is interesting that with the new Dream liner aircraft it seems to have been eradicated due to the way the air is circulated in the cabin.

Not much traffic on the road, so the commute to work only took 15 minutes. Early arrival means time to catch up on the posts here. Yes I agree it's a pity that the cabin environment on planes cannot be healthier.

We came on the 2nd leg on the dreamliner. Lovely plane felt much lighter and spacious and definiely quieter. Still got the germs!

Cariadon, I've had this virus "thingy" on and off since December, last bout a week ago with sinus and ear problems, again. I think a lot of people have had it, very energy sapping too. Hope you and B2 and TG can throw it off soon! I'm sure some warmer weather might help, it seems to thrive in the cold. Take care, I keep telling myself it will go, in the end.

Have had a lot of things going on and would welcome feeling 100%. Tomorrow we can relax a bit I hope, family today, visiting terrier will calm down without more visitors appearing for the next few days(shouldn't say that, will probably not happen.
) Trying to sort out the mystery of some flowers sent through the post to my Mum, she received the little attached card but the flowers and box have gone missing. I am guessing they are adorning another room in the care home....someone with a similar name. Phone calls between my sister, the home and myself still ongoing.

We all loved The Peter Rabbit film bakers2. I would have thought it had been filmed in the Lake District if you hadn't told me it was filmed in NZ. It looked very authentic. I didn't detect any dodgy accents either. James Corden was the voice of Peter Rabbit. It was a great film. I haven't seen Finding Your Feet and unfortunately I don't think it is on here anymore. Quite a few people have told me how good it is so I will have to try and get the DVD.
Sorry to hear so many of you are feeling unwell. I hope you feel better soon. OH has said this afternoon that he is coming down with a cold. He isn't a good sufferer 😕I do hope we get some nice spring weather soon to make everyone feel better.

Hope all you Patients are taking it easy tonight, and building yourselves up for the HOT** days that are coming !! One of my 'loading jobs' is always sorting the Tablets Various, Insulin, Test Strips and the two varieties of 'Punches / Needles' Holes for the making of
etc & putting them where I cannot forget them !! Only forgot the Insulin once, which meant a quick book in at Englethwaite, then a 70 mph return to home & back -- at least it cleared out the exhaust system !Now to write out in marker pen the routes to Old Hartley i.e. one via m6 & tother up the M62 & A1 etc etc
{ HOT** Days -- well a chap can dream can't he !! }
P.S. / Edit
Cariadon does that mean that you take your medication { i.e. Wine & Baileys } in separate mugs ??

Happy Easter Everyone
Just catching up, sorry to read about the various virus's and coughs and colds, hope everyone feels better soon.
Millie glad you enjoyed the Peter Rabbit film, it sounds really good, just need to "borrow " a couple of grandchildren to take.
Weather has been rather miserable, did get one reasonable walk with the dog in thd dry. Rest of the time has been spent reading a new book I downloaded Hourglass one of the Richard &Judy bestsellers, haven't been able to put it down.
Little bit of sunshine this morning, going to make the most of it and get out and about. Have a lovely day everyone.

Happy Easter everyone.
Any good April Fools? I was christened on this date and day 62 years ago. Some people say it explains a lot 😂😂.
Any one got sun? Grey but dry here.
Done a load of washing, another one in - wouldn't dream of doing that Christmas Day unless it was an emergency! Why the difference? Is it the weather? Son is in a golf tournament today, again they don't put one on on Christmas Day. Answers on a postcard please 😉.
Hope those of you that are entertaining have a fabulous time.

Yesterday evening was manic at work. They asked me to work an extra hour because the closing driver was off sick but I ended up working an extra hour and a half because orders were still coming in at 5 minutes before the closing time of 11 p.m. The last delivery was at Shoreham airport. By the time I had completed it and returned to the shop, it was 11.30 p.m. So the manager, very kindly, gave me a free large pizza to take home, with a pouch to keep it warm, which I have to return this evening. My wife couldn't eat any because she was full from having eaten earlier but I was so hungry, by the time I got back to the caravan, that I nearly ate the lot! There are just two slices left, which we'll share this afternoon, one slice each! The pizza was a meat feast, that was full of meaty flavours. Delicious!

April Fool’s Day is being cancelled in 2018 thanks to the date of Easter.
This year Easter Sunday will fall on the usual day of April Fool’s Day, April 1, and the change to the calendar has been made to avoid a clash.
April 2 will also be a holy bank holiday thanks to Easter Monday meaning the traditional day of pranks couldn’t have been held until April 3 this year.
The date was considered too late – given that practical jokes shouldn’t be played after midday on April 1, so the annual festival has instead been cancelled.
The change has been ordered by The Pope, who has had the authority to change dates since his predecessor Pope Gregory XIII created the modern-day calendar in 1582.

There has not been a decent April fools since the 1957 spaghetti spoof.
Very grey here but dry, so off for a walk. It rained all yesterday and is supposed to rain most of tomorrow, so making the most of it.

Beautiful morning here in North Wales, so me and Mrs got up earlier than usual and had a lovely walk around the local deserted lanes and small hills. Didn't see another walker, just 4 cyclists and 2 runners.
We did see a beautiful Lapwing ion of the files near us doing his wonderful flight and song trying hard to impress his intended who was watching, hopefully in admiration. They are rare in the immediate vicinity so hope they decide to stay.
Back home for delayed shower and coffee.
Not an April 1st. person as my mother passed away on this day so I'm never in the mood for it.

Happy Easter everyone. It is dull, cold and grey here but at least it is not raining ....yet. We all went to the Easter Day service at the Cathedral this morning and the children enjoyed the Easter Egg hunt round the building afterwards. The family are all coming later for Easter Eggs here. I wonder whether we are going to have to 'batten down the hatches' again tomorrow as snow is forecast.
I hope all those with coughs and colds are feeling a bit better today.
The Richard and Judy book sounds good Helen. I might download it.

We wanted to go to the Easter Day service at the local church but my work put an end to that plan. It was nearly midnight last night by the time I got back to the caravan and 1 a.m. by the time I got to bed. So I didn't get up until well after 8 a.m. which was too late to have breakfast and get ready in time for the 10 a.m. service and too tired to have to rush at that time of the morning, especially as I need to rest in preparation for tonights shift of 5.30 p.m. to 9.30 p.m.
However, we remember going to the local church Sunday service at 10 a.m. during the days before I got my first delivery driver job. It was nice and everyone was friendly there. After the service we used to sit and chat with the others over coffee and biscuits. Sometimes I miss those days.

I don't know. The Attenborough "flying penguins" a few years back weren't bad.
