Everyone's Gone.

[panik]

The ever-delightful snycock left on the 7.15 for Manchester Airport and her plane home. We just got back from waving off mab_browne  and cross_stitchery  on their way (first class! The decadent young monkeys) to York. We've had a splendid couple of days together. Because of the lurgi, no one was really up to much so we've mostly lolled around and watched a variety of quality DVDs; Cruise of the Gods (again *g*), DUG, SST2, a whole load of TS and TS-related stuff like the cascade con discs, Action, even an episode of Robin Hood from 1975 with David Dixon camping it up outrageously as Prince John for Paul Darrow's Sheriff of Nottingham. Last night I introduced them to the joys of QI and the Jonathan Ross show. :o)

mab_browne  and snycock went out fully intending to walk on the moors yesterday but were driven home by the weather. Cold and wet is truly our world and t'moors are no place for those with a lurgi.

Now they've gone on their way. My house is an empty shell. My gosh, it's quiet in here. *g*

I've just had a tidy, thrown the towels in the washing machine, hurled some parsnips and celery into the stove in the hope of soothing soup later and now Mark and I are lying on the bed, completely wasted, for yea, verily, we are both still decidedly poorly. Neither of us have had much sleep because of the incessant cough. mab_browne 's not too bad (though she has the cough), snycock 's still coughing too and poor cross_stitchery  is far from well.

What a group we've made for the last few days *g*. I hope all the other lurgi-struck fangirls are still amongst the living.

But I'm crashing out now. I may be gone some time...

You have the best icons ::nods:: *g*

Hope you'll feel better soon babe - the soup should help, if either of you are well enough to make it. Bleh. Poor loves - the lurgi-season has obviously arrived already, the nasty wee bugger.

It's just rotten that your fabulous fangirl get-together ended with everyone feeling poorly. But I'm so glad you at least had time to loll around with each other. Take care now and get better soon. *smooch*

I aim to please. (o: See my shiny new one! *g* I must do something with one of m' Flake pictures...

We both feel absolutely bloody today, tbh. I don't know if it's the crash n burn after having a house full of guests but we're as bad as we were again. Hey ho, it is a most vicious microbe. I really hope Garett didn't get it. :o(

It's a veritable plague, I tell you! It's a hideous bug, I can't remember feeling so ill ever in my life before. It did rather strip the gilt from the gingerbread but we enjoyed ourselves all the same.

Thanks for the good wishes, babe. ::smooches you back with extra touch-feelies:: *g*

first class was such a good idea. we got free hot drinks *and* food, and didn't have to stand in the aisles for 40 minutes like the other poor sods. and all for 7 quid a piece. a bargain, i say!

we've had a whistle stop tour of York - dragged ourselves up 276 of the narrowest, windiest stairs ever to the top of York Minster - and now we're ready to crash. unfortunately, i booked us on a fairly early train out of York tomorrow, so not much chance to see anything else - maybe a quick look at the Shambles.

thanks so much for having us to stay, especially since you were so sick yourself - and Mark! but at least he could very sensibly retire to the bedroom in peace...

so sad the fangirl portion of the tour is over now...

Hey, sweetie. I hope the soup does you some good. And it wasn't the water in the air so much as the mud on the ground that turned us back. But we had fun anyway. :-)
