Dreaded Lurgy

I've been hit by some horrible dreaded lurgy and have spent most of the weekend lying about in bed feeling very sorry for myself.  At least today I've managed to get dressed - but only really because we've had to get a television aerial repair man out.  The poor chap is lurking about the house at the moment as the weather is so hideous (high winds and torrential rain) that he's putting off the evil moment when he has to brave the elements up a ladder - rather him than me, I got so wet I had to change my trousers just going out to open the side gate for him. 

The aerial has been a pain in the bum ever since we've lived here in that it had a very long cable on the outisde of the house which would flap about in a southerly or westerly wind (the main wind direction), this led to some very fuzzy telly pictures and a fair amount of swearing on my part.  The trick has always been to go round the side of the house, gently feed the cable back through the wall and repeat as necessary depending on the wind strength.  Not ideal I know, but liveable with.  On Saturday evening the wind really picked up and P, not wanting to go out in the cold, decided to try yanking the cable through the wall (I'd told him this was not a good idea) and somehow completely lost the connection.  I'd taken myself off to bed before this and was not best pleased to find we now had no TV reception at all.  Cue a Sunday evening with P up in his study (presumably avoiding my bad mood), and me stuck with no TV and feeling like cr*p.  Oh yes, a good time was had by all!!

So sorry that you have been feeling unwell. I made my husband laugh yesterday afternoon when I had to turn on the TV as it made me feel a bit warmer! Just looking at the bright colours and presenters in their skimpy outfits helped a little bit. Hope the repair man has it all fixed today for you.
