Feeling a Bit Better

    A bit milder today, definitely above freezing, but ice rain is forecast for tonight. Car will have to go in the garage again.

   I managed to make it to Bridge and, with the judicious use of hand sanitizer, managed (I hope) to avoid infecting anyone. I'm glad I went as I had a small slam - my partner had two so we definitely came out on top today. We must have been in the lucky seats!

Still Sniffling

   A better night - I took a sinus pill before I went to sleep and that did the trick. I still slept a lot during the day but I guess my body needs extra rest to fight off the infection. I need to be better by tomorrow afternoon and I am going out three nights this week so will keep self-medicating.

   Not as cold but snow all morning and a particularly heavy snow shower around noon. I didn't venture out to clean off the car or clear the driveway - that will wait until tomorrow! I watched some tennis but I think Canada has lost the tournament as they only had two (out of 5) wins.

    Lots of good stuff on TV tonight, and I have already watched another episode of The Forsyte Saga. Last night I was up until midnight watching a new episode of DI Banks - one of my favourite detective shows from the UK - and no commercials!

  

Under The Weather

   I didn`t have a very good night - my coughing kept waking me up. Breakfast was an egg-in-a-cup with orange juice (hope it helps my cold) followed by coffee and a croissant. Obviously having a cold hasn`t affected my appetite. After a few morning chores I returned to bed and slept until 1:00 p.m. Very cold still, only -5C when I put my nose out the door and a strong wind.

    While I ate my lunch (soup, cheese and grapes) I watched more of  the Davis Cup, this time doubles play. It was very even but I got drowsy again and went back to bed before it was finished. Slept until 3:00 then stayed in bed reading for another hour. I have defrosted some shrimp for dinner but haven`t decided how to eat them, maybe just a shrimp cocktail. I already had half an avocado and some salsa with chips so will only need a small meal.

Not 100%

   Bitterly cold this morning with a strong wind from the north. It was -8C this morning and only got up to -5C this afternoon so I am hunkering down at home.  I am very glad I decided not to go skiing with Judy and the kids but I did make it to the fitness class and, after coffee, stopped in at the library to get a DVD of `THe Forsyte Saga` which will keep me busy this weekend. I ordered it several months ago and have it for a fortnight - should be enough time to watch all the episodes.

    I felt a bit under the weather this morning and had to push myself to go out. However, I`m glad I did, just took it easy - no high impact aerobics for me today! I slept for a couple of hours this afternoon which is unlike me - usually I just doze off for around 20 minutes. I think I am coming down with something but don`t have a fever so it`s probably just a cold. Tomorrow will tell the tale!

   Davis Cup on TV this afternoon - Britain versus Canada and the Canadians are not doing too well but I will keep my fingers crossed for them in tomorrow`s matches.
