Thursday and I wake up feeling slightly better from my cold. I take my vitals and they are more like my normal range. I have breakfast and then I make one last onslaught on the 1000 piece jigsaw that my partner has been doing for the past few days. She had got to the boring but tricky bit at the end were there is no pattern left only monochrome strange shapes and the last remaining “whimsies” . I set to work and my partner does but finds time and energy to do odd jobs that need doing while I push on. At about 3 o’clock the final piece is ceremonially put in place. Of course I take a photo jus to prove that we have done it. It is a great image but it was truly difficult.

With the jigsaw finally done I have time to update my blood pressure spread sheet and then its on to the task of filling the bird feeders. The birds have really gone for the fat balls in the heart shaped wicker feeder, they are a great favourite of the Robins. The dark descends as does the cold, it is supposed to be sleeting or snowing at any moment as I settle down to write the blog. There are crosswords to do, soap dispensers to fill and I am sure something will appeal on TV. I have to be better and able to travel tomorrow as I am having my nails done and visiting the chiropodist, so by the end of the day I should feel pampered. I am hoping the weather forecast is way off.
