It's a bit damp out there
ompared to how much my throat was hurting on Tuesday, I feel almost back to normal – antibiotics are truly magical things. My throat’s still a wee bit scratchy, but at least it doesn’t feel swollen any more, and it isn’t agony to swallow. I haven’t even felt the need for any medicinal icecream today, which has got to be a good sign.
Actually, the not feeling like icecream thing might have more to do with the weather – it’s been bucketing down with rain all day, and generally pretty miserable. Parsnips has not been impressed. She keeps standing by the cat flap and crying whenever I walk past – I’ve never managed to convince her that I don’t actually have any control over the weather…
The view from the window. As always, the drain across the street has blocked and flooded half the road. I’m really glad I didn’t have to catch a bus anywhere today!
Not having any great incentive to leave the house, I spent most of the day working on my quilt, and made a lot of progress. It’s always hard to judge exactly how far there is to go while it’s still on the machine, but I reckon I’m about three quarters of the way. If this weather keeps up, I may well get the quilting finished by the end of the weekend!
