Hi, Rusty!
We have sunshine here now, too, instead of the earlier heavy rain.
I'm glad you are feeling somewhat recovered this morning.
Yes, the antibiotics should help both you and my husband, so keep popping the pills!
My daughter arrived about 10.30
We have been looking at the pictures of her potential new house.
They have had an offer accepted , and also have a buyer for their present property.
But it all takes time to process.
Fingers crossed that it will all progress smoothly.
Well.....I had better sort out some lunch!

Hi, Rusty!
Update.......our daughter has now left.
It was great to see her unexpectedly before Christmas, even though her visit was, of necessity, a brief one.
It was lovely of her to drive all this way, mainly to see her dad as he isn't well.
And how are you feeling now?
Have you felt fit enough to venture out , or (sensibly) stayed in to keep warm?

Good evening, Elle!
A very thoughtful daughter you have, Elle!
Well done, her, driving a long way to see her Dad!
I am on the mend, I think.
I did not go out today.
I am meant to go a-visiting tomorrow morn but I'll see how I feel then.
Hopefully I can visit a shop, too, or I will be eating into my canned food reserve!

Good morning, Rusty!
It is another wet one here.
Dog and I have ventured only as far as the garden so far......walking in the rain is one thing...in a torrential downpour quite another.
And how are you feeling this morning?
I hope you feel fit enough to go to your son's....but don't risk it if you still feel "under the weather".
My husband is improving slightly, I think...but he has given us all quite a scare.
He's been "sitting" on symptoms, and not telling me or his GP.
Right, coffee and the Everyman......and then the morning's tasks!

Good morning, Elle!
Fine morning here.
I stayed home, not firing on all cylinders quite yet, but I'll be fine!
That is good news about your husband improving.
Long may it continue!
Good luck with your puzzle!

Hi, Rusty!
It is good to know that you are improving, if not yet cured!
Another 24 hours should hopefully make a big difference to you.
Yes, my husband is feeling a little better, thank you.......
But I don't know whether or not he will be fit enough to go to our daughter's for Christmas Day lunch....it is quite a drive......
However, we have another couple of days yet, so can decide nearer the time.
Having mentioned my daughter...she and the boys are coming over this afternoon, just for a brief visit, to check on Dad/ Gramps!
Yes, I finished the Everyman ages ago....unfortunately it is another far too easy one.....the setter is slipping back into his/ her mode of earlier days!
Disappointing!

Good evening, Elle!
Has your daughter called?
A pity about Everyman.
Folk seemed to approve of it lately, too?
There are some popular musicals on SkyArts channel tonight.
Les Miserables, Cats, Billy Elliot, and Miss Saigon.
Quite a line-up!
Apparently Miss Saigon is based on Madame Butterfly.
Did not know that.

Good evening, Rusty!
Yes, my daughter, BB and YB were here earlier.
It was lovely to see them.
They just stayed for about two hours, as my husband was obviously tiring.
He has gone to lie down for a couple of hours before eating dinner....and taking another antibiotic tablet.
What a selection of musicals from which to choose!
Are you intending to watch one?
If so...which?
Btw, did you ever watch "La La Land"?

Hello, Elle!
It would cheer your husband up seeing his family, I'm sure!
No musicals for me, but it seems to be a good night for those who would enjoy them.
There is some good stuff on SkyArts in the next few days, though.
My granddaughters took La La Land away one afternoon and it never returned!
I have just had a nasty clatter.
Tripped over a lurking vacuum cleaner and sprawled my length on the floor.
All seems well though!

Hi, Rusty!
Oh dear! I am thankful that you are not hurt......despite your vacuum cleaner's loitering with intent to injure!
At least you are aware that you tripped, and didn't have a dizzy turn, which would be worrying.
But it is a "shock" when we fall when we are older...so take it easy.
You may feel a tad bruised tomorrow!
Considering that your granddaughters gave "La La Land" to you in the first place, it is a bit rich their waltzing off with it!
Perhaps you could "borrow" it back?!
