I have gone down with THE COLD - the one that has been decimating the UK. I have got through all the Winter without it, people coughing and sneezing all round me, and now... just as Spring is coming.
Oh dear. At least its not flu, as I don't have a temperature.
It started yesterday morning. Chris and Star were dropping in for breakfast and I had a load of croissants in. However, that all went pear-shaped as Chris (no Star this time) got stranded in the rush hour traffics so he and Captain B met up in Arundel for a walk and a picnic lunch.
Then he came back for supper. I am not used to providing impromptu meals any more. On PlanetExpat it was different. i was used to a phone call from Captain B saying he and a party of hungry divers would be back in an hour and could I provide lunch. Back then I could. I had my big American fridge well provisioned and I was younger.
However, I had a panful of our staple, veggie soup, in, some croissants, and a selection of yoghurts. And we all had a hearty enough supper off that. I couldn't eat much anyway.
Jean and I did manage to get out on Sunday - and took the flowers and card round to the lady who has lost her husband. Sadly the Lawyer was not at home, and I don't suppose I will be getting out this week. Apart from feeling awful and coughing all the time, you can't really turn up on peoples' doorsteps and cough and sneeze all over them.
