I did start writing this this post 2 weeks ago, still struggling with flu and with the rain pouring down outside, however what I wrote was so depressing that I have deleted it. Truth is that we did both have flu over Christmas and new year which wiped out the festive season. Next year year I will seriously think about a flu jab, I do not want to be that ill again. It also true that there has been a bit of an epidemic and people younger that we are have died. The small part of this that is good news is that I can now happily join in with the favorite topic of conversation hereabouts, Ill health. If weather is the default in the UK, health is the default here. Steve and I are rarely ill (I get colds) and nether one of us is inclined to bother the doctor with anything non life threatening. Since most folk around here have or have had this flu we now have something to discuss at length. Almost a silver lining if it wasn`t for those poor folk who are ending up in hospital.
We have also had all of our average winter rainfall over about three weeks and much of Galicia has been affected. We sit fairly high and dry here in Frades, so aside from the odd leaking roof (not ours) we have been fortunate. things are drying up a little and to be honest I still have post flu tiredness so am not inclined to do more than I have too. A bit of sunshine will certainly change things, and a few days in the garden would I am sure make me feel a whole lot better.
We have finally got our act together and put our spare room on air b&b so if you know anyone who's coming to this part of the world give them the heads up. I will put pictures and a link up later in the week.
I am in the process of tidying up some of my etsy listings trying to offer a bit more choice with each listing. New stuff when I'm feeling better. Once again pictures later in the week!
