Bad luck OH. Take care of yoursel! You,re getting older like the rest of us!
I'd offer to come and rub camphorated oil on your chest like my Granny used to do but Cook might not like it! You might have to settle for a hot water bottle, and a mug of hot lemon and honey with a slice of ginger!

Proper dreich day today, so gardening was just a bit of tidying in the greenhouse, pots with things like fushias were pruned, tidied up and fleeced as we have had some light snow on the hill tops, which usually lowers the temperatures.

Managed to get loads done today between the showers - the asparagus beds are all prepped, fed & topped up. If I can find some edging then I will put that around them & top up a bit more. I'd like some seaweed to put on them as well but every time I go down to the beach I miss the low tide & it is all washed out again. (Probably for the best as my plan was to collect it in M-in-Laws shopping trolley to bring home). :0 Most of the sweet potatoes up but I know I missed a few as the dog was helping with the digging but pleased with the size & my wee experiment has shown my own slips grown off my own previous years crop are bigger. Brassica's all tidied & white fly disturbed; (& likely inhaled) & started to cut back the dahlias' & other wee jobs that have been pending so all in all a very productive day! Especially enjoyed ticking things off the To Do list rather than adding to it!

I am back in the land of the computer. Still don't like the new format. At my age, probable on the wrong channel. I am putting it down to senile decay. :roll:

O.H. As you are recovering, with not much to do, I eat yogurt with honey. Looking at the ingredients, I notice the honey is described as Honey Sauce. What the hell is Honey sauce. :? :?
