Not to my eyes\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Yesterday I chose to rise from the warmth of a cosy bed into the freezing cold of our unheated home (we\u2019ve forgotten how to programme the boiler! I must remedy that ASAP, now it\u2019s dipping below 0\u00b0 outdoors!), and invigorate myself with a 10 minute Joe Wicks work-out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that was after a bad night of insomnia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last night I took Zopiclone, instead of Valerian. And it worked a treat. I slept solidly through till when Teresa gets up, around 5.30. And I\u2019ve dozed on and off till 8am, since then. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But since eight I\u2019ve been blogging, and sneezing continuously. This latter has been coming and going, along with \u2018concrete nose\u2019, since the weekend. I seem to have picked up a nasty head cold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I\u2019m going to remain abed this morning, methinks. And try and get more restorative or recuperative sleep\/rest. Plus it means I can defer re-learning how our central heating, boiler and thermostat system works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wish the latter were simpler; I\u2019ve \u2018taught\u2019 myself how to operate it on several occasions. But it would appear it\u2019s just not the kind of info my brain seems capable of retaining. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding the \u2018concrete nose\u2019, I may be forced to flush my sinuses with my \u2018netti pot\u2019. Actually the thing I have isn\u2019t strictly an Indian style netti pot, which look like mini watering cans, but a western adaptation, more prosaically known as a nasal irrigation tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Will it help at all, I wonder? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday I chose to rise from the warmth of a cosy bed into the freezing cold of our unheated home (we\u2019ve forgotten how to programme the boiler!
