Hi, Rusty!
Yes, Rusty, that is just what I have been telling my husband...take it one day at a time...give the antibiotics time to work.
Sometimes one has to put with certain side effects - provided they are not dangerous - in order to benefit from the drug.
And I am keeping an eagle eye out for the possible serious side effects.
Let us hope that you both start to feel better soon.
When you mentioned "the lost boys" it took me back to Peter Pan!
"The Lost Boys" were characters in J. M. Barrie's play.
Sainsbury's opens at 9 am tomorrow, too!
I need to do some food shopping.
My daughter suggested placing an order online, and having it delivered.
I have never done that .....
Perhaps I should investigate the possibility?

Hello, Elle!
Yes, I expect side effects, especially on a "strong" antibiotic.
I think it's perfectly normal to have side effects, though not everyone gets them.
Have you found out about why there are no boys in the production?
I enjoyed it, it was very well done.
I think ordering online may be a good thing for you, if your husband cannot drive just now.
I have not done it, but I know all the ASDA girls on the "home shopping".
They are very helpful if I cannot find something.
They know where everything is, you see.
I think there is a charge?
Be well worth it though.
Keeps you away from the busy shop and folk with bugs etc.
Give it a try?

Good morning, Rusty!
It is raining here ...and according to the forecast will do so all the day.
Not a pleasant outlook.
How are you this morning? I hope feeling some improvement?
Well, I have registered for online shopping at Sainsbury's!
But to a novice - and a computer illiterate person like me - it looks a thoroughly daunting prospect!
I shall certainly look into it for the future though, as I cannot carry a lot of heavy, or bulky(or both!) shopping all the way home from the High Street.
Meanwhile.......I have a lot to do here this morning, but will try to get down to Sainsbury's in person in the early afternoon.
I think they close early but will check.
I may even manage a crossword at some point.......
I think Sunday was my last encounter with a puzzle!

Good morning, Elle!
It is cloudy but dry in my neck of the woods.
I am just home.
Nipped out to ASDA for my paper.
No improvement, but no worse.
Though I think the antibiotics attack everything when chasing these bugs!
I don't think the home delivery is for me, Elle.
Could your daughters give you advice re the home deliveries?
My ASDA closes at 6.00 p.m. this evening.
Yes, I have my puzzle now, too.
And I am going to watch Carol of the Drum to see what else is going on....or not!
Does the wee man playing the triangle only have that to do, I wonder?
Giving the triangle a wee ding every so often?
It's a fascinating video, alright!

Hi, Rusty!
It is still raining here...the forecast was correct!
Well, I suppose your feeling no worse is some sort of improvement, if a static one!
Now I'm not sure that statement makes sense...but you will know what I mean!
My husband is abed, and fast asleep when I just checked.
Hopefully, the rest will help.......
Yes, my daughters both use a home delivery service.....I think from Tesco...but I prefer Sainsbury's.
I shall consult with them at some stage.....
I have both the washing machine and the tumbler drier going at the moment....I shall toddle down to Sainsbury's about 2 pm ......
Like your Asda , the shop is open till 6 pm.

Hello, Elle!
I have but a few aches and pains.
Nothing to worry about!
Hope you get on fine at Sainsbury's.
Ask when you are there about their delivery service?
Should be fairly straightforward, surely.

Hi, Rusty!
Sainsbury's was a doddle!
The shop was virtually empty...both of shoppers and of food.
I bought a 4 pint container of milk, plus a few edible items for meals for the next few days.
(We still have stuff in our freezer)
All easily pulled home in my shopping trolley.
The rain even obligingly stopped for the duration of my shopping trip!
And Sainsbury's have sent me an email, welcoming me as a new online customer to their store.
With instructions on how to proceed, as written for the simple -minded!
So I should be all right there!
Your aches and pains will hopefully pass soon......

Hello, Elle!
You got on fine at Sainsbury's, I see.
I have plenty grub, too.
I don't have a freezer, though.
Are you going to try Sainsbury's home delivery scheme?
No harm finding out how it works.
I don't expect aches and pains to go, but they are no problem.

Good evening, Rusty!
We have just had dinner......breaded haddock, cheesey potatoes, and mushy peas!
Delicious!
And all purchased at Sainsbury's this afternoon.
Yes, I shall try the Home Delivery service at some point....just so that I know what to do if necessary.
My daughter (with whom I have just been chatting) tells me that once one has established a "core" shopping list , this can be accessed again as one's "Favourites".
This sounds a good , time -saving idea, doesn't it?
You are right though in that there is a delivery fee.
It seems to be around the £3 to £4 mark, depending on which day and what time.
I got about half way through the crossword, but time defeated me!
Too much to do.....and not enough hours in the day in which to do it!

Good evening, Elle!
Your tea sounds great!
I had macaroni, cheese, and bacon.
I have heard something like your daughter is saying, that the programme reminds you of things you have bought previously, so you won't forget to order.
I am sure that would be helpful.
I read that Waitrose delivery is free, but the minimum spend is £60.
No Waitrose around here.
Always another puzzle tomorrow!
