He examined me, had a good listen to my <em>bronchites<\/em> wheezing away and identified straight away what was the problem with me. And I was right too. The viral infection is back.<\/p>\n<p>So loaded up with medication, a loaf of bread and some pears, I headed off back home.<\/p>\n<p>And having dosed myself up &#8211; back to bed where I lay and sweated myself to sleep.<\/p>\n<p>However, the medication must have done some good because a while later I was up and about feeling better. The cough had eased, the streaming head had calmed down somewhat and I could actually think straighter.<\/p>\n<p>This afternoon, Shock! Horror! after a bowl of soup I started on doing some work. I have so much to do that I haven&#8217;t done, and so much that I should have done these last few days.<\/p>\n<p>So now is the time to press on. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.erichall.eu\/2005u120.html\" target=\"_blank\">One of my web pages from 2005<\/a> is attracting media attention &#8211; positive attention too for a change. But the style is quite dated and needs rewriting, so that was my first task today.<\/p>\n<p>And that took me longer than I expected too. But I kept on plugging away and even found time to make a start on the missing blog entries. They might be up to date sometime soon.<\/p>\n<p>But not right now. It&#8217;s late and I&#8217;m off to bed. It&#8217;s Saturday tomorrow but I&#8217;m not going shopping. I&#8217;m not eating anything so there&#8217;s no need to buy anything. I&#8217;ll have a leisurely day instead and build up my strength.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-11764 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='11764' data-nonce='11517e4646' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-11764 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-11764 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='11764' data-nonce='11517e4646' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Unlike' \/><span class='unlc-11764 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-11764 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; a really bad night last, I couldn&#8217;t wait until 08:30 came around.
