What a difference a day makes

How can two days be so very different?
Yesterday was so hot and today... peeing down with rain non stop doing an impression of stair rods. And to add insult to injury, when I had my rain mac cleaned earlier this year, the miserable lot didn't waterproof it again for me.
I found this out when I was out shopping as within seconds, the pouring rain had gone straight through my mac and I was not a happy bunny.

Julie and I were going to go off to Maldon today, as she hasn't been there for ages and as I'm always singing it's praises and we thought it would be lovely to sit by the water and relax.
Today, we probably would have been the only ones there as it was so foul out there. Why is it that every time that we think we'll go off for the day, it gets cancelled because of the great British weather?

Also poor little Reni was suffering from heatstroke from being out in the sun all day at work yesterday, so I had to go over to their flat with strong painkillers to try and get rid of her splitting headache. She was really suffering bless her with nausea and feeling cold and shivery, so she was trying to sleep in a completely darken flat and was an eye mask on too to block out all light. Thankfully this evening she feeling a little better.
From there I went round to my mother's with her magazines and she has contracted a stinking cold overnight. She had a tickle in her throat yesterday, but today she was coughing her lungs up and unfortunately she wasn't covering her mouth each time.
It's awful having to ask her to cover her mouth each time, as it feels so condescending having to say that to her, but when she coughs, she really goes for it.
I know that I am frightened of being ill yet again, especially as I have tickets to see Tom Jones next Friday, but I booked these tickets at the beginning of the year, so I'd be devastated if I couldn't go. I also have these tests at Broomfield coming up soon too, and I really don't want to have a tube rammed up my nostrils and down my throat if I'm coughing and sneezing non stop!

So I am swallowing echinacea by the handful and eating a spoonful of manuka 10+ honey in the vain hope that I ward it off. And yes I am including my honey as a 'syn' in my diet, but I can't see the echinacea tablets on my 'syn' list, so hopefully I'm ok there!

Lots of love Debbie x
