Random in springtime:
garden lattice forms a frame
round one daffodil.

What a day! As if Strep wasn't enough, I've had the mother of all migraines today. Woke having slept well, but within minutes my sight showed signs of disturbance. I took a Migraleve straight away, but the headache began to kick in quite quickly. So I lay down and closed my eyes. When I surfaced it was ten o' clock. (We should have been halfway to Somerset for Thursday's funeral by then!) So I leapt out of bed and, keeping the light level low, began dressing when, blow me, if I didn't get a second aura (the sight disturbance) and this time the headache kicked in even harder. I took a second Migraleve.

When we finally set off, after 11.00am, I had a blinding headache and nausea: the worst migraine I've had for a long time. Tried to sleep in the car, but couldn't, and nursed a sick-bag, just in case. At last, during the second half of the journey, I did nod off for a few miles. When I woke, the nausea had gone and the pain was much less.

It's now evening, and I still have a faint headache, which, I hope, will be gone by tomorrow after a night's sleep. Fingers crossed. The good news is that my throat is a lot better this evening, though I still have another ten days' worth of antibiotics to take - and fit around mealtimes: at least two hours after food, and at least one hour before eating. Good practice for doing sums!!

This daffodil found itself framed in my sister-in-law's garden, taken through the window.  (Mr PP, of course, did all the driving. He's tired, but did so well so soon after his hip replacement.)
