Thursday catch up

A quick blog tonight as I am still not feeling too good.  I had a bit of a busy day yesterday, Coralie came over with baby Evan and we paid a visit to a local farm shop and then went to Lidl for some cheap groceries.  The farm shop which I have only ever been to once before was quite a hit.

 I got some local sourced vegetables and some eggs, including duck eggs.  I also bought some stewing steak, pork chops and some lovely Gloucestershire Old Spot sausages.  We had them for dinner tonight and they were very good.  I am not a huge sausage fan but Simon is and he thought they were great.

The farm produces all its own beef and sausages and other meat goods are prepared on the premises from local sources.  We were hoping that it would be in walking distance but it is 4 miles and there is no foot path for most of the way so not really viable with Evans buggy.  It would be in cycling distance though once the weather improves.

The rest of yesterday and most of today I have done very little as I am feeling quite grotty with no energy.  I am still sniffly and I have a dreadful cough now too.   Really obscurely I also have a terrible pain in the back of my left arm...........when I cough!   It started last night and is so painful that I need to actual hold my arm as I cough.  I have no idea what it is.  My arm is ok the rest of the time and there is nothing to see.  Very strange!

I did do a little bit of housework this morning but then gave up as I just feel yuk.  I have spent most of the afternoon sitting doing some embroidery.  I am shortly going to have a bath and probably an early night in the hope that I may actually sleep.  Hopefully I may feel more up to things tomorrow and normal service will be resumed.

Alfie is going to the Vet first thing tomorrow to have the operation to remove his lump. I am going to be really worried until I have him safely home again which probably won’t be until the evening.  I can’t remember if I said but the biopsy was inconclusive.  They think it is probably benign but want to remove it anyway just to be on the safe side.  Once they have it they will send it off for testing to see what it actually is.  Think of me tomorrow because I will be a worrying blob.
