I tell you, we're going to have square, or rather, oblong eyes at the end of this 'ere flu. She napped for a bit this afternoon, how God only knows, 'cos my toe-toes and I were standing on her head having a doze, but I must have twitched or rustled a feather for she woke up to see an Agatha Christie film starting.
Action stations! A hot drink was made very quickly and we settled down to watch 'Why didn't they ask Evans', a Jane Marple story with more twists than a country lane! Go and read her books, they stand the test of time very well.
And now we have brilliantly happy news! Yubba-dubba-doo! Many years ago, in 2008 to be precise, she was given several 240volt electrical items by a friend who was relocating back to America. Amongst these treasures was a heat pad.
Her back was in great pain last night with this wretched bug but she knows not to take too many of the 500mg pain killers as they're not great for you. Luckily, this afternoon she remembered Lesley's heat pad and.. eureeka.. she knew EXACTLY where it was. (A rare occurence with our home in such chaos). There it was, in the cupboard at the end of her bed.
So that was plugged in and oh, the bliss! Who knows why your body aches so much with flu? But, she can tell you that the heat pad placed against your back, it doesn't even have to be at the maximum heat, has made everything 80% better.
Now you will hear a Tale of GREAT Kindness which happened at lunch time
She received a chatty text asking about her well being and inviting her to tea tomorrow, she rang the friend back and explained that she, sadly, wasn't going anywhere with this wretched bug. The friend asked if she had everything she needed and she said that she was ok but was slightly concerned about taking these painkillers every four hours.
He asked her what she was taking and said "Do you not have anything else?" and she replied that she didn't. Now, I must tell you that this dear friend has also had this wicked virus. They commiserated with each other and agreed that they would treat themselves to a film and a Chinese when they were both bug-free.
An hour later, she received a text from her friend saying 'there's a bag hanging on your door'. She open the door to find hard driving rain and hanging on our front door was a Sainsbury bag.. with two packets of a 200mg pain killer.
This dear man had gone out in driving rain, walked to Sainsbury, got pain killers, walked all the way to our home and put them on our door. HOW kind was that? 2017 has started on a VERY kind note indeed, do you not agree?
GeeGee Parrot.
