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.

Oh no, not another health thing to deal with! Hope you heal up quickly. Soak up all the animals love, it helps
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.
