Scorned

I appear to have tonsillitis so all bets are off and all plans cancelled.  I am just doing the bare minimum, ie feeding the horses, ponies and sheep and about to put rugs on everyone because winter is returning for the weekend. Meh.

Lambie is being a bit strange. Well, stranger than usual.  He followed me back from his field while everyone else was going out for the day and I ended up giving him two more breakfasts because I felt sorry for him.  He did look very pathetic all alone in the world.

Later, when I was on my way out to feed a friend’s cat, I found Lambie all by himself.  He didn’t seem to mind, though, and I offered him another breafkast, which he refused and I even told him that if he were around later, he could come and doss down in my shed while I worked.  We could watch “The Other Bennet Sister” together.

With that thought, Lambie got up and left to find his real friends.  A part of me was pleased he wanted to rejoin his flock and a bit of me feels somewhat scorned.

So much for my kind offer of company.  I think I will go back to feeling ill again.

    Sorry to hear that you are poorly.
    I am at the tail end of a four week cough and wondered briefly whether I had that too.
    Hope you feel better soon.
    Hugs.

    You do know that tonsillitis can be a Strep. infection. Can you get cultured and get some medication if indicated. ?? Your poor body / immune system is challenged. Lots of tea ( fluids) and chicken soup. Also your friend with cough … here in the states RSV is running rampant !! also since a virus can’t treat with antibiotics, but could result in secondary infection; Pneumonia, bronchitis. both of you try to take it easy (yes easy for me to say) and keep us posted on your progress.
