The chef and his assistant were bringing various table decorations and would finish off the setting on Saturday. I was feeling a bit out of sorts and Pam mentioned that I looked quite pale, she fortified me with a bowl of her delicious soup and home baked bread and I came home for an afternoon of gardening.Saturday was lovely and I went out for some light gardening duties but soon developed terrible stomach cramps. I could hardly walk when I came in and took myself off for a lie down. I soon started with a headache and nausea, I hadn't had a migraine for nearly two years and believed I might have grown out of them once I'd retired. The thought of being in the same room as spicy curry was unbearable and I had to give the whole event a miss. Mr FF went down for the meal and stayed on chatting till around midnight. Andrew wore his new socks though not the jumper which apparently is very warm indeed. 
Mr FF had an early start yesterday as he was in Perthshire walking with his group and as I was home alone K & S who had also been at the party took pity on me and invited me for tea and homemade Madeira cake, plus some quality time with Peaches which was all very cheering. It did me good to get out for a walk and a look round their garden where it was sunny enough to sit outside for a while. Meanwhile down at Pam and Andrew's some of the party guests spent Sunday recovering by carry telegraph poles through the woods and across the stream to form a new bridge, hangovers obviously are for wimps.

What a shame you missed the party. Hope you're feeling much better now. Glad the socks were appreciated!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you missed the party, but good to hear your socks were appreciated. I suppose that's one way to work off any lingereing hangover..... carry logs! Hope you are feeling much better now! Ros
ReplyDeleteAaw, to miss a party! Poor you. The pictures are fab though, your life looks so pleasant! Apart from the stomach cramps/migraine, obviously.. Hope it is all gone now!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you were not well, lets hope that is the last of them. At least he liked his socks!
ReplyDeleteThe party decorations did look lovely, shame you missed it.
What a shame - poor you. It looked really lovely too. Hope you are on the mend after your "funny turn". xxx
ReplyDeletePoor you, hope you are feeling better. The party looked lovely, such a shame you missed it.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better now!
ReplyDeleteI would have had to be pretty sick to miss homemade curry!! I have some in my freezer which I was saving but I might just have to have it for dinner tonight now!!
Happy he liked the socks!
Argh, what a shame you had to miss the party! Glad the socks were appreciated though and I hope you're feeling better now. I have posted two flowery and cheerful cards to my blog recently, both on Sunday.... but I do have one more lot of Crimbo cards to share too, so you might want to look away for a few days! As to winter, it's really not over til it's over I suppose. When I lived in England I had an Easter break every year in The Lakes, and we always hoped there would be snow on the maintains to walk in, and invariably there was too. Still, at least you'll really appreciate Spring and summer this year!!!

So sorry you had to miss the party and festivities, Jenny... A migraine is a nasty thing. I so sympathize, for I get those myself sometimes they cam really be semi-debilitate a person temporarily. The party sounded so lovely though! Do hope you are feeling better now. :o) ((HUGS))

Oh by the way, it's been raining today, but the temp is going to drop very suddenly and we have snow starting at 5pm - 7:30pm bringing us about an inch, and them dropping to -5C overnight! I'm telling ya, we're not out of the woods yet!

Hope Peaches worked her magic and you've recovered.
ReplyDeleteWhat rotten luck for it to happen like that. And to miss the birthday boy wearing his new socks too.
ReplyDeleteI think he should take a series of photos modelling the socks from various different angles for you.
Hope you feel better really soon.
