Journal from the Plague House

For the past 2 weeks we have been struggling with colds/flu; we both have been confined to bed, then recovered and then relapsed.  So I've not been able to get on as well as I'd hoped with the stairs.  Progress is being made albeit slowly.  And then today the snow arrived.

We were touched by the kindness of our neighbours Cynthia and Fred when she came up to us this afternoon to see if there was anything she could get for us in the village as she was going to walk down to the bakers.  A kind thought but ... are we now in the category of 'those old folks up the hill'?

The snow is not too bad but the forecast is talking of -8 in the morning and -10 Friday morning with freezing rain!  Oh well, it's winter.
