March birthday


Flu has invaded my life and confined me to my home, my room, sometimes (too often) just my bed. The good things are plenty of time to read, all the time in the world, and to sleep, and losing lots of weight before my son's imminent wedding .

The downside is worrying that I will not be well in time, this has gone of for so long now. I must be well, I must. I shall!


In the meantime, I just wanted to share my birthday flowers. Tulips are one of the best things about March birthdays, I think.

  3. Happy Birthday, what beautiful flowers. I do so hope you feel better soon, especially for your son's wedding. As you say though the only plus side is time to catch up on reading etc. xx

    1. They are. I forget how much I love spring flowers - we just need some spring sunshine too! Fingers crossed, but I am enjoying the time to read (and catch up with blogging!).

  10. Oh how delightful to have such nice flowers on the table. They certainly cheer you up.

    Lots of vitamin C my dear and keep warm.
    These colds today refuse to leave. My son has been coughing all winter . He runs in soccer and breaths cold air and of course they dress in little shorts and shirts for games . It doesn't help.
    So I make lots of soup and he piles on the vitamin C.
    It seems to be working.
    Good Luck!!

  12. Belated Happy Birthday!
    Tulips are one of my favourite flowers.
    Sorry you've had flu, it's a terrible dose altogether.I had it, and it went on and on, i feel I still have dregs of it, but have mostly put it behind me.
    I'm doing a Deepak Chopra Perfect Health meditation challenge at the moment- it's free if you sign up for it, only takes c 20 mins a day, maybe that would help?

    1. Thank you Mimi and I do agree about tulips! It's been a month now and its back worse than ever at the moment. I have seen the doc and he says it takes as long as it takes and I am also talking to my homeopath - I have to get to this wedding if it kills me! I will look into the meditation challenge, so thanks for that advice xx

    1. I cannot wait, Pondside, to be out in my neglected garden! I am lying in bed at night thinking about all the preparation and dividing I was hoping to do this month, but all I can do is try and get better. It will all happen when the time is right. Thank you for the visit - you are all cheering me up no end.

  15. Happy belated birthday, those tulips are stunning.;)
    I am fighting a very nasty flue myself, honestly can not recall last time I was this sick. I think the flue virus has been really aggressive this year, and the cold spring we are having is certainly not helping.;)
    Have a great weekend and I hope you will get better soon.;).;)
    xoxo

    1. Thanks Zuzana for the birthday wishes - I was feeling brighter that day, briefly and we had a nice lunch, but back to bed now. Everyone is saying how nasty the flu is this year and I too cannot remember ever having felt this ill for so long and I do think the long, hard, cold winter isn't helping at all. Hope you will be better soon, too x

    1. Hello Pearl. Thank you for visiting from Minneapolis! I have improved over the last few days and am no longer totally comatose but it is very slow and the energy flatlines very quickly, so Saturday is going to be a big challenge, but I shall be there, whatever it takes!
