Maggie & Mal's Adventures in North Cyprus, the UK and Beyond
A day with the sun out! Mal made the most of it and carried on doing the garden at the bottom of the drive. Hopefully the lorries will stop cutting the corner now and not break our drain any more than they already have done. As it is we own that part of the road anyway! He carried on until he ran out of membrane.

At last I felt a bit more human, even though I did still have a cough and ache. I did manage to potter around in the garden a little. It was nice to see the sun after so much rain, not that I had seen much of anything being in bed.
As there had been so much rain, Mal decided to go and clear the garden at the bottom of the drive and plant it as the soil was no longer rock hard.
In the evening we watched the first two episodes of BBC ‘Children in Need’s Around the World in 80 days’. Oh dear, Nick cheated!
It was Super Gary’s birthday so we drove down to drop something off, Mal also went into Starling while I sat in the car and then back home and even that wore me out.
It was also Ollie’s third birthday and he sent us a video thanking us for his present and we rang him in the evening and he seemed very excited, going out for his birthday tea and then they were having fireworks.
Another day feeling ill, Mal was getting used to doing all the household chores and cooking.
Stayed in bed, feeling ill. Mal told me the sky at night was looking very good with all the cloud. Yes, it rained again.

More rain and I have decided I am worse than I thought, maybe it is the piggy illness (swine flu).
We managed to get some ‘day nurse’ tablets from the pharmacy and I started taking them and began to feel a bit better. In the afternoon, I was lying on the settee watching the Chelsea game only to be told on the screen that the satellite signal had been lost. Great, the Man U game was due to follow. Mal tried all the usual things to get it back and then he looked on the bulletin board to discover that it was everyone’s Digiturk signal. Thankfully, the signal was reinstated just as the Man U match was due to begin! Yes, they won. Another wet stormy day. I received a photo of Scarlet and Jack from their other ‘Nanny’, they look so happy.
