Going Up

I've not been up the hill today.

The plan was to go and see my dad this afternoon but for the past couple of days I've felt like I have a cold: sore throat, itchy eyes and generally under the weather. It's not the worst cold I ever had but I think it could be worse for my Dad so I rang the home and asked them to let him know I had a cold and wouldn't be visiting until it's gone.

This morning I was freezing cold especially after having a shower. I resisted the urge to put the heating on and pulled the door curtain across, put my cosy Oodie on top of my clothes and shut the internal doors.

Later on I had to go out as I'd decided I really do need a coat with a hood so I took the one I bought yesterday back and swapped it, at the cost of an extra £20, for a longer coat with an excellent hood!

Once that was done I picked up some cold remedy and paracetamol from Boots, walked to the bottom of the hill to take this photo and then came home.

As I'd been chilly all morning I wore a jacket to go out, but it was really warm outside. It felt like a summer day and I ended up putting the jacket in my backpack.
