Day off for me today cuz I worked last Saturday , back in at the workhouse tomorrow. It's a glorious sunny morning not a cloud in the sky but I can't go anywhere because I'm waiting for 2 books to arrive today from Amazon. I'm hoping they'll arrive this morning.

Glad you're enjoying your holiday! We saw her for dinner on Saturday night when she was on her way down to London. We were there to pick up nephew who had just arrived from London, but their trains would have crossed paths in the opposite directions! They haven't seen each other since 2009 in Uganda. My nephew's family also helped support her through university.
 
Welcome back, Merlin! Annie, have fun with your Ugandan daughter and Holly, enjoy your nice sunny day while you wait for your books. We've actually had some serious rain in San Diego the last few days and, though I'm happy about the rain, I think the change in weather may have lowered my immunity. I woke up with a sore throat, sniffles, and cough this morning. :( So I guess I'll be taking it easy and doing the usual cold treatment stuff today.
 

Glinda, sorry about your cold. Do hot lemon and honey work for you? My naturopath swears by taking a cayenne pill everyday to fend off colds. I don't know if it works, but I haven't had a cold in the fifteen years since I started taking the stuff. Annie enjoy your visit with your daughter, Holly try to soak up some sun. Perhaps you can wear your heels. Lol. Stylin! Merlin, we need our sorcerer, weird things hhappen when you are away! I am still on Saltspring, recovering from last night's birthday bash, held on the beach property of an old flame. Way too much Southern Comfort, I was channeling my inner Janis. Lol. We barbecued salmon in a pit, Salish style, grilled oodles of fresh prawns, and scallops I had marinated in my spicy Thai black bean sauce. Dessert was chocolate cherry cream cheese ice cream I had made, and, wait for it, Annie, FUDGE! We danced and sang, listened to guitar. Wonderful! I had a bit of sleep in the guest house, it even has Internet. Oh, how the other half live.

I've been drinking a tea called "Throat Coat" this morning. Not sure how much good it does. I've never tried a cayenne pill. Maybe I'll check that out. Also taking Robitussin for the cough and, of course, Vitamin C. Bizzerable. :(
 
Nice drink for what ails you (tummy ache or cold)

Hot milk (or almond or soya milk)
1/8 tsp turmeric
1/8 tsp powdered ginger
honey to taste
 
Woke up this morning and looked out at my little "bird" fountain and no water being pumped. Spent an hour troubleshooting it but alas located the trouble, corrosion on the 12v line going to the pump. Fixed and once again the happy sound of tinkling water and happy little birds.
 
Accch how can I never get a day off without having to deal with work related problems..?..Now I learn (just an hour ago) that tomorrow morning I have to go and sort out some stuff at an office in a town in the west of the county!! Oh well change is as good as a rest so they say....lol, if only that were true!!

Anyway good thing is that my books came...sadly I could only get them in paperback, and I do prefer Hardback books..but oh well, que sera, at least I have them!!

Hope you're all having a good day...almost 8pm here time for a cuppa tea methinks.. :coffeelaugh:

Immediately after I read your post just now, I went in the kitchen and made this drink. I don't know if it will help my cold but it sure tastes good! Thanks, Cookie!
