So you know when you’ve got lots of things planned and you rush around like a mad thing trying to get everything organised? Then you get sick and you can’t do anything other than sit? Well, it’s been like that this week. We’re in the middle of redecorating and have a million other things to do on our to do list, and then we both got struck down with a horrible bug. While it’s been painful and frustrating, getting time to just sit and be isn’t something we allow ourselves very often. Yesterday afternoon was spent on the sofa, under a blanket with Poppy.

While being poorly isn’t a treat, time spent doing nothing, letting your body recuperate, is always a good thing, even better if you’ve got someone to share it with. Also, Poppy makes a great nurse! Though, that’s not to say I won’t be sad when I’m feeling well again and can get on with everything that needs doing!
