On the Fourth of July


Firstly, a message to my visitors from the United States of America who celebrate July 4th:

Have a great day!

Secondly, a message to my visitors from the United States of America who may not celebrate July 4th:

Have a great day!

And thirdly, a message to my visitors from the Rest of the World:

Yes… Have a great day!

Why not?! They’re the best days to have, regardless!

Me… still sniffling, spluttering, itching and aching. But never mind all that… I’m getting there!

      VK… I think the cold is now under my control. The hay fever isn’t, but the cold is. One step at a time! 😀
      Hope you had as great a day as you could have yesterday, then VK. And then, keep on having them. Things will become good in the end!

      The itching is a symptom of hay fever for me, Prenin.
      I’m a picture of health.
      Thanks, by the way, I am feeling better. I’m moaning, and that helps! 😀

    It takes a REAL man to cover his sniffles to write anything, let alone a celebratory Fourth of July post. Wow. I AM impressed!

    LOVE that header., Sir Aquatom, but hope your own head is recovering. takes time I know, for the symptoms to even let go a teeny weeny amount. They love to visit and make themselves at home methinks. Hope your day is great despite the aches, snuffles at what have you, (I hate all the wet stuff, eyes wet, nose wet, head wet, coughing, sneezing. enough to make you feel um sick? ) get better soon. (from one who has been there and come back, healthier in body if not in mind 😦 ) xPenx

      You describe my symptoms perfectly, Lady P. The only thing that is OK is my head, funnily enough. Never thought I’d write that on this blog! 😉

          I’ve got you, Lady P! I’ve brought you back!
          You were found, wandering around the frighteningly named Spam Dimension. How you got there is beyond me… but how lucky I caught you there. My finger was hovering over the mouse button which was controlling the curser that was hovering menacingly over the delete option (I tend to delete spam without reading it!) Luckily, I recognised you and recovered you in tact!

    Thanks Tom!
    I hope you are getting better each day! Drink lots of fluids to keep them lung lubricated so your cough will be more productive.

          Ah, thanks, Sue.
          The cold is 91% gone now I would say, leaving me with the hay fever.
          And I’m looking forward to a relaxing weekend all the same… I hope yours is as well!
