Although I am definitely on the mend, I am still not 100%. I didn’t sleep well last night due to coughing, so slept in until 11.30 but I have been able to stay up all day and actually managed to potter about doing bits and bobs in the house.

I also managed to get some slicing done, I have an idea for my wife’s Christmas present and as they are all going out tomorrow, my plan is to try and get it done then.

I have got into Battlefield V on the console and there is a mix of people, some who think a tank is indestructible and charge into the enemy positions and others who play a tank like a tank should be played, carefully without infantry support.

I usually play as a medic and do my best to help my team mates, unfortunately not everyone thinks the same and will run past my riddled body to go and claim the flag. If you want to do that play as an assault trooper, not a medic. I reckon my blood pressure is up this evening because of knackers.

So I managed a day of working from home today. Meant I was a bit pooped so this evening I grabbed this to read…

I don’t play 40k but my son was given a pile of codex. So this was my reading material of choice this evening.

I am now off for the Christmas break… still have presents to buy 😭

Well I evidently overdid things yesterday and paid the price today. Totally flattened and in and out of bed today.

I am working from home tomorrow as I doubt I would manage the drive across to work to do paperwork in the office.

Still not 100% but I have been up mostof the day, Peak Flow is now up to 500, so the reaching is improving too.

I didn’t do much at all, today apart from fill the dishwasher a couple of times throughout throughout day. I managed to also make a starting glueing my mates miniatures together and onto their pennies, to match the previous ones…

I need to find some more pennies, but I do have a mountain of them somewhere, just where…

I also managed to get the resin beasties sprayed too… hopefully I can get some painting started tomorrow if I am up to it.

Things are definitely picking up. I managed to spend a day out of bed, back in there now, as I am a bit zonked, but that is the first day I have spent out of bed. Okay I sat on the sofa for most of it, but I did potter around the kitchen and got it sorted out a bit and managed to get the tea started too.

I also managed to get this lot glued down ready for a bit of an undercoat tomorrow…

They are just done with Copydex, so should come away from the bases easy enough when I need them to.

Hopefully tomorrow will follow today’s trajectory.

Woodlouse I managed 90 minutes up today doing things, the downside was that I needed to go and lie down again afterwards, but I managed it so that is good.

The down side with all this being in bed is boredom. I have watched YouTube nonstop now and have pretty much run through all of the back catalogue of the channels I subscribe to. I am now on the fringe areas of YouTube and am seeing if I have ASMR… the one channel that does totally chill me out is the Crafsman Show. Absolutely love that channel.

Today I ended up watching the Hornby channel… simply because he was making a Ffestiniog Railway based board. I worked there as a student for about 8 years, so was bit interested.

I am now, as I said, very bored of bed and tomorrow I am going to go for a day up on the sofa.

Still in bed, but looking and feeling better. Unfortunately in one of my coughing bouts yesterday I pulled something in my side, now coughing hurts like buggery, but luckily I am coughing less over time.

My admin very kindly organised me a get well soon package filled with yummy things and cards from the staff and kids which was really nice, her hubby, my cleaner drove all the way overt his evenjng to drop it off.

I reckon I am definitely heading in the right direction now and might soon venture into the lounge to sit in there rather than in bed. The codine certainly knocks me for six, so I spent some of today fast asleep.

Here is to a more up than down day tomorrow.

Much of the same today, but on a positive note, the cough seems to be easing. I actually managed a 5 hour straight sleep last night plus some dozing today.

I have to eat food before the steroids, so that is also forcing me to eat, which will no doubt help.

I am hoping that a corner has been turned and that I am on the correct road to recovery.

Well the doc has signed me off for the whole week, I was expecting them to do until Wednesday, but they were having none of it. I am on Steroids and Codine… one may make you drowsy  and the other wide awake… so Codine over night and Steroids when I wake up. I could do with more than three hours sleep to be honest.

Anyway the postman came today and brought me these…

They are sitting in a drawer until I can be bothered to read them. The other thing is that Ironclads is now on Kickstarter.

Ironclads: Space Battles in the Victorian Aether, via @Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tripleacegames/ironclads-space-battles-in-the-victorian-aether?ref=android_project_share

Now to be honest the amount to get it off the ground was only £500 and when I  opened the link above it was already up to £1628.

I went for the admiral pledge as it gave me everything including civilian ships and famous ones too. Well it is my Christmas present plus it is helping out my mate.
