You Guessed It!

Yes, you guessed it. Despite all my precautions I got it anyway. Bad timing or what!
 I woke up Monday morning knowing I had caught R's cold. Yes, it is just a cold ....  I haven't had one of those since 2011  when I realised on the  Eurostar coming back from Paris that I had caught a French cold. ( this one seems more sneezy and watery ) Shortly I am off to buy some medication to try and relieve the symptoms - why? ...Because I have to drive myself to Taupo tomorrow and the next day sit in class all day, hoping not to spread it to the others there. 
 I have been packing and making preparations for my week away at Symposium in Taupo. I feel washed out and lacking energy, but otherwise not incapacitated.( I'll have my own red nose day ! ) I have been doing some stitching on my wall hanging. Here is the left hand side of it.( it's not lop sided it's the photo )
 If I can I will post from Taupo -  there is wifi connection in the rooms but will I make it work? I hope so. If I am quiet for a week you will know why. I have ordered the CD of photos of all the quilts but will no doubt take plenty of my own.
 Looking forward to meeting you other Blog friends I know are going too -  I will try and not spread germs.
 I will have coat, scarf, hat, stout shoes but no energy to walk. I know it is a nice place to walk around on a nice day; so here's hoping.

    Have a good time while you are away.
    I hope you feel better soon. You could always try my remedy! A drink of hot blackcurrant juice, (Plenty of vitamin C) and a good shot of rum!
    But not while you are driving.

    Thanks friends.
    The maxiclear is making me feel a lot better - dried up and thirsty but that is better than sneezing and runny nose.
    It's a nice morning here in Tauranga so I hope I find the same down in Taupo.
    You should see how full the car is!

    Hope you get better soon. The hanging looks amazing.
