| The View down the vale from the top of the Gop this morning |
."perhaps you've got Psittacosis" he volunteered cheerfully!
Also, I am getting a little frustrated today as I know I am so behind on my spring planting.,Our Friend Nige comes to visit later, so I am now off to the supermarket for some grub....so the potatoes will have to wait a day or so more
Forgive the banality of this blog entry.......real life and sputum has got in the way!

After several bouts of bronchial pneumonia as a child, I'm left with lungs that, when weakened, sound like a chain-smoker on their worst day--and I've never smoked in my life...so I can well imagine what you are going through right now John the dog!
ReplyDeleteI like your real-life posts...they sound, well, real.
It's a bugger to be respiratory compromised. I cannot go anywhere without my ventolin and Q-Var inhalers and after my stay in hospital (in air conditioned "comfort") it is worse now than before. Lots of fesh air does help, as well as light exertion to produce some deep breathing!
ReplyDeleteNothing better than an old pervert, I always say! Hell, I'm married to one. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely view of the spring weather John.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures and no banality at all. Life is.
ReplyDeleteI get a bit spluttery this time of year - think mine is the Hay Fever kicking in - gives me a loose chest !
ReplyDeleteYou need to take care of yourself so you can spoil those dogs even more.
ReplyDeleteSo kind of you you share this!
ReplyDeleteStop being a wuss & plant the sodding tates! xxx
ReplyDeleteFeel better. Seems the to do list gets very loud when one doesn't feel well. Wonder why that is?
ReplyDeleteYou and Constance make an attractive pair with you excess bodily fluids flying all over the place. My grandad would have said - rub your chest with goose grease. xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteEngage your friend Nige to help you plant them. Or maybe trade eggs with a young man for some help in the yard while you're under the weather.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon, John. Have a good weekend. ♥
Sorry to hear about your discomfort. Here's to hoping you are back to normal soon!
ReplyDeletePoor old fart!
ReplyDelete(No, seriously, I also think it may have to do with allergies. When it hits my husband he sounds like a lovesick elk in season!)
Hi John! Work got in the way of my blog visits. I LOVED your post about each of the dogs and how everyone knows you and them.
ReplyDeleteSame with me and my 4 poodles... all the kids know me as we walk to and fro. I have trained the kids to not RUN UP ON US!! Now they run to a certain point, then dramatically stop and walk up very slowly... it is extremely comical to watch! Also the polite drivers who wave and smile. Just fun to be out and about with the dogs, I related completely to that post!
Happy weekend and hope you perk up soon! xo
thanks all....the older I get the sicker I become at times..... I can see myself in ten years time curp crawling 4 dogs in an electric wheelchair complete with piped oxygen and a catheter bag
ReplyDeleteG for gross!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are peaceful, simple, restful. Perfect. Get better soon John.
ReplyDeleteSure hope you feel better in the very near future. Seems that you are still able to function!
ReplyDeleteWe've both had this flu but not flu thingy and it has left us both with a cough that just will not go.
ReplyDeleteI don't have wheezes but bl***y squeaks and its driving me nuts.
Hope you feel better soon.

Sorry about that chest - hope it doesn't turn out to be a sudden allergy to dog hairs! Must say Constance is nicely rounded in the bum as they say in that photograph.
ReplyDeleteYeah, get Nige to help out with the vege planting!
ReplyDeleteI hope your chest clears up soon. The view is lovely.
"I can see myself in ten years time curp crawling 4 dogs in an electric wheelchair complete with piped oxygen and a catheter bag..." like Groucho?
ReplyDeleteI think you are just allergic to dogs and chickens.
Be thankfull you don't look like one John! I hope your chest clears up soon. I have asthma and am suffering with my breathing at present - even getting out of breath coming up the stairs :( I can't even up my dose of meds as I'm on the max for both pills and puffers. Take Care. have a lovely weekend. Sue x x
ReplyDeleteHope you get better soon. This time of year I too start hacking around like a smoker...and I do not smoke. Between the sneezing and hacking I am sure provide great entertainment. Life happens and generally does get in the way of chores...but the chores will wait for you ;)
ReplyDeleteI think its just a cold!
ReplyDelete"drama queen!!!!"
Real life and sputum may have gotten in the way of some thing, but, surely not that view!
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon.
What beautiful country. Feel better soon, John.
ReplyDeleteHaving been over a cold for a few WEEKS now, and still having a nasty cough, I feel for you. (And you have several pets, you sure it was all you? Snoring pups can put out a lot of noise. Or at least mine have...)
ReplyDeleteCat (who needs to work on socks, yes?)
Well I was wondering what that strange wheezing sound was this morning. Evidently we were hearing you all the way over here. My, my.
ReplyDeleteMentholated balm rubbed on the chest (they call it Vick's VapoRub over here...Vick was clearly the Original Pervert) and a hot-as-you-can-stand-it hot water bottle laid over the top does wonders to help break it up. But then you're a nurse and probably have tricks of your own for it. Have fun with Nige in any case!

feel better soon! nothing amorous dogs and spring weather can't heal, i hope! thanks for stopping by my place again to comment, by the way. enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat view looks well worth the trudge up the hill. I used to wheeze quite a bit until I knocked drinking histamine dosed white wine from the supermarket.
ReplyDeleteWell done on your village blog too by the way, I'd love to live in a little Welsh village like that.
