I have been ill all week, which is most unlike me - usually, a really bad cold just means a day in bed and then I'm up and at 'em again, but this time I was just completely wiped out and it's dragged on for days and days. Perhaps I should blame the Llantwit Major hike, since I went down right after doing it!

But although I still can't actually speak and still have a very painful cough and still have ringing ears, tonight I managed an actual meal for the first time since Monday, and earlier today I left the house also for the first time since Monday, to enjoy a gentle Good Friday stroll through the Bay with the family in the March sunshine, which was very welcome.

We didn't go far: walked from the car park to the Doctor Who Experience, stopped for a cuppa and then back again. Which gave the Future Time Lord the opportunity to face down a few fearsome opponents for the very first time!


Pity about the light, but what can you do? Such a sunny day and the exhibits are right by the window! Layla-May was thrilled by them - her first sight of actual monsters, she was entranced, trying to figure out what they were. And then she laughed her head off, much to the delight of the staff - and tried to grab the Dalek's eye-stalk! See, she's on the job already...

Flu! Flu, flu, flu! That's exactly what happened to me, right down to the painful cough. Hopefully you won't follow the same pattern though, because the version I had let you recover for a few days, then completely wiped you out again - and then did the same thing a third time, so that it dragged on over most of a month, with only a few decent days in between. Look after yourself, even if you feel better now!

Love the DW pics - and it's good to see that Layla-May has got our backs! *g*

You're probably right. I was barely conscious most of Tuesday! Painfully achey limbs. Then couldn't sleep for two nights because my throat felt like someone had poured white-hot broken glass down it. And it isn't like me to go off my food so completely. I've been off work since Tuesday (shouldn't have gone in on Monday, really, I knew I was going down, just had no idea it was going to hit so hard) and now have the long bank holiday weekend to recover, so I just hope the recovery sticks! It's my mum's birthday next week...

Hope you're feeling properly better now too!

Yes, future Time Lord or COMPANION at the least.

::: HUGS ::: being poorly for that long is no joy. I trust your 4 legged kids have been keeping you warm.

Oh, Layla's definitely a Future Time Lord - she's got the babygro to prove it!

I've spent the last three or four days lying on the sofa, which Poppy always thinks is wonderful. She thinks I'm being a cat when I lie down during the day, and I can't get her off me! She makes a lovely hot water bottle - but I do object to her lying on my face!

Sofa ... yes, a good place to recuperate.

I object to a smelly bum in my face. I lay on my side in bed, Rosie Cat backs up to me ... and forms a T junction in the road ... and I get the full whiff of her bum. Thanks!

I am looking forward to it getting cooler, the quilt on and her using me as a mattress.

Aww so cute! <33 Sorry you have been feeling ill! Some really bad colds going around this season, one (or two in quick succession) got me for five weeks over the Christmas holidays.

Who is the man with you in the photos?

Have a nice Easter tomorrow! <33
