Hope you have recovered now. The before and after pictures were astonishing; you look so vibrant in the 'after' photo.<br /><br />I think we all have that secret velour track suit for slobbing around the house in. Mine only has the trousers left; I combine them with a stretchy top and a warm cardi and that's it - minimum effort but warm and cozy!

Oh my god one of our students brought us some of the salted caramel chocolates and all I can say is they are the best thing ever, like caramel crack cocaine. I have tried in vain to buy them on like Amazon or something but I gather they are hard enough to get in the States let alone in the U.K Miss Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10899889154015378547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-45629233463562328742018-02-17T19:07:25.561-08:002018-02-17T19:07:25.561-08:00@Vix

Don't look too close at the collar on the dress-one is pointed and the other round. I can just imagine the sewist getting finished and noticing it.<br /><br />@Radostin<br />the vaccine was pretty worthless this year.<br />I wish we had a photo of her in the trousers. I've never (touch wood) split my pants in public-that must have been awful. <br /><br />@Beate<br />I did think it was funny to have flowers sent from the UK but we also get tulips from Holland. <br /><br />@Beth<br />We don't have termites but our neighbourhood is full of them, so everyone gets yearly inspections. We've had ants in the basement in the dead of winter, which was a first. <br />Mr. ETB had it much worse than I did. He's been at home sick for a week and still coughing away. I don't have underlying issues like asthma, so I've just been merely miserable. I just wish we could be done with it already. <br /><br />@Ann<br />The Burroughs fan in me REALLY wants to dress as a termite next year. "Hey kid, it was tasty."<br /><br />@Mim<br />I really had a mild case compared to Mr. ETB. I don't feel lucky, but I know I am. The decongestant I'm taking is so nauseating I almost wonder if it is worse than the flu. I've been trying to resist internet shopping, but there isn't much else to do.<br /><br />@Melanie<br />Oh no, not you too. That's no way to spend any day, much less your birthday. <br /><br /><br />Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-48093829207089611792018-02-16T01:28:45.207-08:002018-02-16T01:28:45.207-08:00Don't you look beautiful in the photo with the...Don't you look beautiful in the photo with the ted lipstick and red earrings!<br /><br />I hope you're feeling better, flu's no fun.

Then your velours track suit photo made me smile, thinking at least it hasn't affected her sense of humour. Next think I knew I was laughing out loud when I read about the termite inspection, seeing you in my mind's eye in a termite costume nibbling a block of wood. I really should stop reading your posts on the bus! I'm loving your beige polyester dress, which has a kind of sister in my wardrobe.

Have yet to experience the joys of in-house exterminators, so I look forward to seeing a photo record of your next year's visitation... (Having seen what you can do with sharks, the thought of termites is awe inspiring.)<br /><br />This year's flu season has been awful, actually lethal, so you're wise to take it seriously. Keeping Danny outside was a brilliant idea.

That was a doozy so take care as we were still feeling knackered for about 2 weeks after.<br />I like the pic of you in red with that curly pageboy. The double sunnies with the pom-pom ski cap is reminiscent of the Maxine (the grumpy old lay with attitude)cartoon. A quote from Maxine: “My soul's had enough chicken soup. It wants some chocolate.” <br />Actually, I like chicken soup better than chocolate (with homemade noodles of course!)

I hope you and your family get well and stay well. <br /><br />Please don't apologize for "keeping it real." That's what I love best about your blog-- you're unpretentious at all times, honest but kind, and authentic every minute of the day. So many people on social media are too darn cheerful all the time, as if life is easier and more glamorous than it really is. The world needs more sincerity, more astuteness, and more heart, and you bring those virtues to your readers every day without fail. <br /><br />I could go for some curry and cinnamon buns. You and Danny are amazing. <br /><br />Happy Valentine's Day, my dear!<br />Emily from Etsynoreply@blogger.com
