Normal service slowly being resumed...

I'm back at home now, with access to my pc. I've been away for a few days holiday to the Isle of Man. However just before we set off, I broke out in spots on torso and head and thinking uh-oh decided I'd better get them checked out. Sure enough...chickenpox. I'd not had it as a child and the doctor was full of gloom, saying it can be quite nasty in adults. However he said it was okay to go away and just keep away from young children etc. So I've been looking like the invisible man with a hat (to cover spots) and scarf obscuring mouth and nose. Fortunately it appears to be quite a mild dose and apart from looking unsightly I feel/felt ok and should be able to go back to work tomorrow as planned. I didn't get much reading done though, not even of my beloved Agatha Raisin...

I'm really glad to see you are posting again, I was wondering what had happened to you. So sorry to hear about the chicken pox, and hope it clears up soon. It can be bad in adults, so I do hope you are spared.

My best wishes
Maxine.

Thanks ladies, for your best wishes. I think I've been quite lucky. I'm healing up ok, but still a bit spotty. Legs have been a bit wobbly but I made it through work all right. I have a few days off now and can rest up a bit as well as catch up with the blog and website and (I suppose)some housey stuff :-).
