Sparkling hasn't been well. It's the flu. She has quite rightly said "who gets the flu in summer?" Well apparently Sparkling has. Mind Big Momma has said she's got the flu as well. It has been raining a lot. This is expected for the typical British weather and may have contributed. Summer and rain is like salt and vinegar on chips. It's going to happen. But you just got to ask yourself how can the flu virus still be about at this time of year? Like it has been hiding away under some kind of rock and then decided to come out at the most unfortunate time and claim a victim. There I was thinking as always the female species had extra resistance to this kind of bug. But, poor Sparkles has been knocked for six and spent most of the day in her bed. When I hear this a bit inside of me goes awwwe, and like I want to wait on Sparkles with Chicken soup and hot water bottles just to make sure she is OK. Of course hoping to be resilient against this strand of the virus.
All I can think is maybe this nasty little bug has been around for a long time and Sparkling is unlucky enough to have caught it when the rest of us normally get infected in the winter. Maybe this is it. I know there have been times in winter when I have gone down with a bug and it has lasted weeks if not months. Never quite shaking it off. If you had the choice to get the flu it certainly would be Summer. The chill of winter always makes it a lot worse. I do hope Sparkles takes on lots of liquids and is able to fight of lurgies.
Lemon, honey and a tot of whisky. These are the basic ingredients to help cope with the lurgies. Think I'll buy some today. Lemon anyway. Lemon is always good for something. Get well soon hon am missing you.
