I have caught a bug from somewhere.At 5am I was crouched around the toilet feeling very sorry for myself indeed......
and the silence of the cottage was only broken by Chris yelling out rather helpfully from the bedroom
"You've caught bloody salmonella from those f*^king hens!!!"
I got up at 8am feeling like shit, fed, watered and freed the animals then returned to bed until 11am.
I then walked the dogs, returned to bed until 3pm when I dragged myself up yet again to feed the animals re walk the dogs and climb onto the couch to eat some soup in front of The Robe.
Jean Simmons looked quite lovely in this 1953 fictional romp through the bible..though I have never really liked Richard Burton as an actor....he shouts all the time, which I find terribly irritating.Anyhow...that about sums up my Good Friday
Off now for another doze
Hope you feel better soon. It's miserable to have a bug at any time, but it always seems worse to have it on a holiday.
ReplyDeleteSo far, my Good Friday has been spent doing more yard work. I finally had to quit because it was just too hot. In the beginning of April? In this neck of the woods? Unheard of!
I'm afraid I'm like Chris. No sympathy, just tell you your 'hobby' is going to do you in. Of course, then roll over and go back to sleep.

ReplyDeletejust coming round now....having fun putting a hens bum over some hot water!....yes an egg bound hen!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, my. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteFunny, Husband always tells me I must be nearly indestructible because of all the "stuff" that I get into from my animals, he figures that all the related bugs will cancel each other out, I guess...

PS. Those "post has been removed by a blog administrator" messages are very intriguing!

ReplyDeleteglad you like my ramblings
the hen hasn't passed the egg as yet....held her over a bucket of very hoot water to see if the steam would relax her vent...
we will see by morning
