Up until my dose of Covid in March, I hadn't been ill for about four years.
On returning to France last week, and being over eager to get the pool up and running (and used), I've managed to catch an absolute stinker of a cold.
I really shouldn't have gone swimming in the icy water, but the call was too powerful.
I'm now feeling totally rotten, and will probably do so for another week or more.
Lady M has also succumbed. Woe is us!
rest, warmth and fluids, this too shall pass.
ReplyDeleteGive it time!
DeleteHow rotten for you. You have my sympathies.
ReplyDeleteJust when we really didn't need it......
DeleteLook after yourself... and Lady M too! Bad colds - one of God's nastier creations - along with earthquakes, tsunamis, droughts and mosquitoes.
ReplyDeleteI have been told by Nurse Magnon to keep working hard, and sweat it out! She always has an answer to my maladies.
DeleteIs Nurse Magnon wearing her short pvc nurse's outfit with fishnet stockings?
DeleteHave you been peeking?
DeleteHave you covid tested?
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely NOT Covid, it's just a streaming cold, with constant sneezing, etc. Covid was much worse.
DeletePlenty of French sun should soon get you right again. Here on the Eastern side of the Pennines we are suffering from heavy cloud cover and a need for cardigans.
ReplyDeleteQuite hot here, which should put me right. I am trying to ignore my cold, but not too successfully.
DeleteOh dear Cro, what a miserable thing to happen, so early into your return to Paradise. I wonder if you picked the germs up on your way south, or before you set off? Doesn't the latest Covid virus start with cold symptoms?
ReplyDeleteWishing you and Lady M a speedy recovery.
It's very annoying, just when we have so much to do.
DeleteGet better soon! You have no time for a dreaded bad cold...
ReplyDeleteI shall do my best!
DeleteI have always been told by my doctors that a cold is caused by a virus and getting chilled or going out with wet hair, will not cause a cold if you have not been exposed to a virus. Granted, viruses are everywhere and exist on solid surfaces where you might pick one up by touch, so it is anyone's guess where it might have come from.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you're right. The fact that we both caught colds at the same time suggests that were were probably 'sneezed at' by someone who was spreading it around. My swimming in freezing water just helped it along.
DeleteTake an aspirin, go to bed and get better quick
ReplyDeleteI've just taken a couple of Paracetamol. I woke feeling quite feverish this morning.
DeleteOh, no! Laying in the sun like a lizard might help speed up your recovery, but it's miserable all the same. I've been out for the count the past couple of days, too. Public transport I believe to be the culprit, ferrying Coughers & Splutterers about. No manners, some types!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that certain people with Covid go spreading it about on purpose. Probably the same with a common cold.
