Sue and I were both feeling a bit under the weather on Thursday, and by the end of yesterday we felt worse and began suffering from the symptoms of the current ‘flu bug. Luckily, we have both had the annual ‘flu jab, so although we are feeling unwell, the symptoms are milder than they might have been.
We intend to follow the advice from the NHS and to stay in, keep warm, take paracetamol, and keep hydrated until we feel better. Hopefully, we will recover quickly … but until I feel up to it, I’ll probably not be blogging very much.
Hope you both feel better soon. SWMBO has been ill with flu like symptoms for 2 weeks now, but seems to be over the worst of it. She didn't however take up the chance of a flu jab, so maybe she might have learnt her lesson...

DeleteWe felt a bit better yesterday … and promptly overdid it, and as a result we’ve spent today feeling grotty again. Hopefully a good night’s sleep will help us recover a bit by tomorrow.
All the best,
Bob
Get well soon!
ReplyDeleteMark Cordone,
DeleteCheers! I hope that we’ll get better soon.
All the best,
Bob
Hope you are both doing okay. We had something all December. Not too bad in itself but took a long time to shake it off!
ReplyDeleteSteve,
DeleteWe are just about coping.
Whatever this bug is, it seems to have laid a lot of people low for at least a fortnight.
All the best,
Bob
Get better soon!
ReplyDeleteOld Nick,
DeleteCheers! I really hope that we’ll feel better soon.
All the best,
Bob
I've only just shaken off the worst of a chesty cough I had all over Christmas. It was the associated fatigue and listlessness that got me most.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you back on the VWC bright and well.

Neil Patterson (Neil),
DeleteLuckily we have not had the cough as one of our symptoms. Perhaps the ‘flu jab has helped us to avoid it.
I hope to see you at next Saturday’s VWC.
All the best,
Bob
I hope you and Sue both get well soon!
ReplyDeleteFitz-Badger,
DeleteCheers! Being ill like this is really annoying, and we are both hoping to be better soon.
All the best,
Bob
Hope you both feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteMaudlin Jack Tar,
DeleteCheers! With a bit of luck we’ll feel better soon.
All the best,
Bob
I prescribe the ‘Wargaming in Bed’ chapter of Donald Featherstone’s Solo Wargaming. Get well soon!
ReplyDeleteMark, Man of TIN,
DeleteThanks for the excellent suggestion … although my wife and our cat might object if I do try to fight a wargame in bed!
All the best,
Bob
Best wishes for a swift recovery for both of you, 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
ReplyDeleteMartin S.,
DeleteCheers! I sincerely hope that we’ll feel better soon.
All the best,
Bob
BOB,
ReplyDeleteHere is hoping that you and Sue recover soon quickly. I have not had a cold or the flu in over five years- I put it down to not going anywhere and being with people- I tend to avoid crowds and mixing with people. Regards. KEV.
Kev Robertson (Kev),
DeleteCheers! We felt a bit better on Monday morning, but then we overdid it … and paid the price today.
We suspect that we caught the bug whilst we were on our cruise as there were quite a few people with it aboard the ship.
All the best,
Bob
Hi again Bob,
ReplyDeleteI stuck something in the post to you yesterday. Might offer a few moments of amusement and interest at this time!
Steve
Steve,
DeleteCheers! Nothings arrived as yet … but then our postal deliveries are a bit erratic at present.
All the best,
Bob
Sorry to hear that, Bob - hope you are both feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteDavid in Suffolk,
DeleteWe had hoped that the bug would come and go quickly … but t looks as if we are stuck with it for the time being.
All the best,
Bob
Feel better, Bob. Get some reading in and drink tea, or whatever makes you feel best in times like these.
ReplyDeleteJennifer,
DeleteCheers! I am trying to read, but I find that after about fifteen minutes I doze off … and get woken up when I drop my book or my Kindle!
My wife lives on a fairly regular supply of tea, but I prefer hot chocolate.
All the best,
Bob
