Taking it easy

It seems to be one of those colds that just hangs about making you feel lousy but not seriously ill, though it's been bad enough to keep Elanor off work. After a bit of a grotty night, we got up and staggered about this morning, doing bits and pieces but not over exerting ourselves. Some more of both books has been produced, and a bit of email correspondence carried out.

After lunch, we felt well enough to wander down to the village to get some stuff that the marina shop doesn't stock, but were glad to get back indoors. Sheila's been doing several loads of washing, having a proper Monday washday; with a big tumble dryer available in the service block, it's possible to turn stuff round in the day, which is good.

I've put another Ocado order in for Thursday; we seem to be developing a routine of one order every fortnight, and buying meat and veg from the farmer's market the next day. The internet's been very on and off, presumably because it's cyber Monday, when more online shopping will be done than at any other time of year.

Since it's St Andrew's Day on Wednesday, I've ordered a haggis, but that's about the height of the excitement for today!
