Virus' are bad bastards.
Mine has morphed from being hot, fevered and ache based
To explosive cough and snot based.
I'm also at the stage where pent up coughs force out nuclear speed farts at the same time.
Much to the chagrin of the Prof who shakes his head sadly when I let another one fly across the kitchen.
Hey ho.... not to be downhearted !
A few chores today, which is nice. Last minute Christmas card deliveries need to be done
I'm making parmesan biscuits this afternoon followed by the obligatory sherry trifle.
and we are going to Church later to hear the vicar utter those traditional Christmas service words as the nativity scene is completed with the arrival of one last tiny figurine
" Mrs Davies .......bring on the baby Jesus!"
Have a peaceful and happy Christmas Eve, wherever you are

Thank you John, to you too and to the Prof. Happy Christmas! Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteBuon Natale!
Greetings Maria xxx
Third week coughing here, enjoy the service x
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas John. Try to hold your farts until they get to the loud bits of Oh Come all ye Faithful.
ReplyDeletethe descant springs to mind
DeleteSeasons greetings to and yours. May 2018 bring health and happiness.x
ReplyDeleteI don't know what I'd do without you, John. I knew there was something I meant to do - but what? Keyword "Parmesan" - not so much biscuits as sticks. Thanks. I'll put a yellow sticker on the fridge door in case I misplace this reminder among the cranberries.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and your flock a Merry Christmas. And may the sputum disperse.
Special hug and hiss to Albert,
U
Awww, get well soon. Hope the prof's immune system includes coughs AND farts!
ReplyDeleteIf Mrs Davies forgets the baby Jesus, Winnie will make a great substitute. Stick her on her back in the manger with a dummy in her mush. No one will ever know the difference.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas to both of you! Like the sound of your parmesan biscuits!

You too John. If it is the virus I have had for the past week what you have described is par for the course. I got prescribed antibacs because of long term auto immune disease OH gave me the virus - I seem to be faring better than him as he not on antibacs. Just be grateful that you do not get more than a fart!. Hope you and the Prof have a lovely Christmas - enjoy the Church Service very special in small villages at this time of the year and thank you for continuing to entertain us mere mortals during the rest of the year. You always manage to cheer me up. Seasons felicitations and all that stuff and enjoy. Pattypan xx
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you both, hope the bugs go soon.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Christmas and thank you for the giggles and kindness that radiate from your blog throughout the year. x
ReplyDeleteOh, won't you be charming accompaniment at church. Feel better and enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteWhat time is the church service. ?
ReplyDelete6pm jace
DeletePlease sit near back door for quick exit to release any trapped wind in the fresh air....Merry Xmas
DeleteHappy Christmas to you all, and special hugs for the gorgeous Winnie.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel well enough to enjoy the day.
Thanks John!!! I'm sitting waiting for everyone to wake up so that we can go grocery shopping, 7:30 am here in the US. While I wait I thought I'd catch up with the goings on in your neck of the woods. You mentioned sherry trifle. I just looked in the cupboard and there's an almost empty sherry bottle in there, not enough for a trifle! If it hadn't been fro your post we could well have got all the way to the trifle making stage before we discovered it. Now it's on the shopping list.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and the Prof (and the dogs and cat, sheep, chickens etc etc).
Oh I do hope you get to take lots of long naps and drink something that will warm you through and through and Christmas morning you will feel good again.
ReplyDeleteA Happy Christmas to you all over there in the North of Wales from here in the Middle of Suffolk.
ReplyDeletemerry xmas john, prof and all the critters!
ReplyDeleteDitto to you and your small wonder-filled family and home!
ReplyDeleteRest and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI hope you haven't spoiled your nice new shiny kitchen with all that snot, coughs and farts! By the way, where does William now wipe his bottom in your new kitchen? I digress, hope you and the prof and all the animals have a lovely, happy Christmas. x
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your daily shenanigans. You brighten the day for so many people. Have a few hot toddys then your cough won't bother you so much. Get the prof a cup of cheer too and enjoy your christmas. All best wishes to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy Christmas, do hope you get better quickly. Your posts cheer/entertain/bemuse me; all good fun. Best wishes to you and your family for 2018.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas !
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip
And happy Christmas to you, too, John.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and The Prof -- I hope you get your own Christmas Miracle and feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteGood to see your virus is progressing as expected. Eventually it will get tired of your companionship and move on to some other unsuspecting victim. Get well and have a Happy Christmas.
ReplyDeleteA very Happy Christmas to you and the Prof!!
ReplyDeleteAll the best, John, to you and the Prof and the fur babies. Here's to 2018, chin chin!
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas. I prescribe lots of hot mulled cider with a dash of rum for your virus, it won't cure you but you will feel very merry.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas John and Prof and menagerie.x
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteHave a lovely, rapid-recovery Noel, J.G. - with equivalent wishes to every single one of the others too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Raymondo....you too
DeleteI'll be baking pies today and then will watch George C. Scott in "A Christmas Carol" later this evening. Frank Finlay as Jacob Marley is deliciously scary. I've already watched my other perennial Christmas favorites, "Miracle on 34th St." and "The Bishop's Wife" with Cary Grant and Loretta Young. Both flicks were made in 1947, the year I was born. I only wish I hold up as well as they have.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy Christmas, John, and feel better soon!
I always liked The Bishops wife....underrated in my eyes
DeleteYes, do go to church and spread your germs to the entire village! Isn't this a good night to stay home, John? Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI'll wear a mask
DeleteHappy Christmas John and Prof and all the gang. I hope you are on the mend. I am getting ready to shovel snow but I am all ready for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you both and the furry kids too of course! Feel better soon John. Best wishes from Missouri.
ReplyDeleteA very Happy Christmas to you, the Prof and all your extended family (including the furs).
ReplyDeleteIt's 5am in Oz and the Magpie is singing in the gum tree outside our house. Time to get some baking done before the day gets too hot. Just popping in to wish you and yours a very happy & Merry Christmas. I hope you get well soon. Thank you for all the entertainment.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas John and Prof!
ReplyDeleteHope you start to feel better soon John, (just in time to nurse Chris during his turn.) Happy Christmas.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, John, Prof, the dogs and Albert.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon.
Did I tell you my husbands sure fire recipe for getting well ?
ReplyDeleteflu, cold, sore throat etc ... he would keep a bottle of good vodka in the freezer .. so when he felt sick, he would take a swig of ice cold vodka and go take a nap. He always woke up feeling better.
lol .. seriously ..
I hate vodka x
DeleteThink of it as medicine.
DeleteThat cold is making its way around here too John.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you're sick! Sounds like you're doing your best to have a good Christmas anyway. :)
ReplyDelete(Oh, and Merry Christmas to both of you!)
DeleteI once had an illness induced nuclear speed fart when only a few weeks into my relationship with my lovely BF. He clearly loved me enough to move past it and here we are in our new lives. I think the prof was great to just shake his head, my BF shudders at the thought, lol. Have a wonderful Christmas and thank you for so many laugh out loud moments on your blog. Forget writing a book, you should be on TV. Love you all.xxx
ReplyDeleteI think my comments somehow turn invisible here, but never mind, I hope you see this one: MERRY CHRISTMAS JOHN AND CHRIS!
ReplyDeleteWish you well and soon. Please let us know if you can fart in tune with the hymns. Hugs to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteFarting is an art we are all familiar with also. Merry Christmas to both of you and all the fur pursons also. Hugs from the top of a point of land heading into the ocean.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas John, and don't forget those wise words for the over 50's 'Never waste an erection, or trust a fart'. Very best wishes, Cro x
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas to you and Chris, John. I won't be making the obligatory sherry trifle which we've had for more than four decades of Christmasses. Grant (my darling of 46 years) passed away at the end of November. xx
ReplyDeleteDear John and Prof and family, Merry Christmas to you all. Thanks for keeping this blog, letting us into your life, sharing stories of animals, people, culture, transitions, laughter, tears, absurdities, the whole kaleidoscope of life. You make my world brighter in many ways. When the Zombie apocalypse comes (if it hasn't already here in the US), I sure wish I could be in your group at least until you have to bury a cleaver into my noggin. XO
