is it a cold or flu ?
Wednesday, December 5, 2012 @ 7:20 PM

 Yep i awoke to a stuffed up nose and sore throat and throbbing head, it is upon me the dreaded cold, I should of had my flu jab on FriDAY but after dashing at top speed to doctors , i knew i would be faced with alot of noisy pensioners all been there for 2 hours even though there appointment was for 3pm they get there so early and than complain when they do not go in first, well thats what appointments are for , bless , i  just wish i could understand all what they are saying aS I AM SURE it is even more funny than i get in my ltd understanding of spanish but no , it was desserted and of course i had forgot my paper to show i had an appointment , instead i tried to say influenza in spanish accent and point my finger at my arm to look like i was injecting a needle, quite impressed with myself for that i was able to communicate but no he did not understand and he asked for my medical card , once shown, it confirmed i had an appointment , he had a heated exchange with colleague , she had heated exchange with me , sort of (actually i did not understand her but she sounded fierce) and upshot no jab and thats when i knew i would soon get a cold as we all know bloody doc surgeries are the worse for picking up infections, Now i think i am a pretty good patient , not liking much sympathy , a little spoiling or pampering would be nice but feeling sorry for myself, oh yea , i can dig that alot. But thankfully cold not reached the feeling sorry for myself stage yet but  i know its coming, i was able to get the heating working at last, remote batteries needed changing, so at least cosy but what the hel will the electric bill, no, stop thinking about that , im warm . Do i take any drugs to counter the cold, i try not to, rather let in run its course as they just seem to prolong it but i have been known to take frenadol or day nurse but not a fan of lemsip or beechams .

I saw on tv and reading on facebook that it is snowing in uk and for first time since living in spain i actually felt jealous which was weird as i hated the bloody snow when i lived there, i always fell over and scraping the car was absolute hel but hey it looks so nice and so i hope i see it now when i go in feb as i do not have to go to work and so can enjoy looking at it from a cosy warmhouse ,
