Convalescing



Oh I spoke too soon. My last post mentioned convalescence and now I have had to take to my bed all this week with something approaching flu. The Swine Flu hotline told me in so many words to 'Stop making such a fuss and drink plenty'. I wish I could have languished in bed so stylishly but sadly the reality is more like this:

  3. Get better soon. Lovely idea - hot water bottle. Haven't had one since I was a kid and it was not rubber, it was stoneware.

  6. I agree about the comforting aesthetic of the room in yesterday's post. Love it, but could never have it all the time. Top photo is best for lazy breakfasts in bed. You might just hallucinate convalescing with the panorama like that! Get well soon.

  7. This is the season for global sneezes and wheezes. Hope all is well...or at least better. I think it's a dog. But....the idea of a furry, dog-shaped hot water bottle would be cuddle-licious.
