Is there something going round?

Both Betty and I have stomach upsets today, all 3 of us seem to be coming down with gut problems recently, but on different days, it's happened several times in the past few weeks.  None of these episodes have been serious or prolonged, only lasting a day or two, although husband's problems a week or so ago were the worst of the lot.  As husband and I quite often eat different meals, and we hardly ever give Betty bits of our food, it's difficult to pin down if it's a food that's causing the problems.  We do all drink the water (mine is filtered through a cartridge filter jug, husband is happy to drink his out of the tap, as does Betty) but I wouldn't have thought it could be that - our water system here on our sheltered housing estate is blasted through with something or other every Friday night to prevent legionella or other water borne nasties, the water from our hot tap is always boiling hot on a Saturday.  Who knows?!  I know there have been problems with bacteria in bagged salads, eggs and chicken from other countries, and now jars of olives, but we've not eaten any of that.

I had a text earlier from our landlords to 'remind' me that operatives are coming this Friday a.m. to 'do our repairs'.  Problem is, this is the first we've heard of it so I'm not sure what repairs, I'll have to ring them tomorrow to find out what it is.  They can't come then anyway, that's the day we go off on holiday.

Husband is today wearing quite a nice outfit that he rarely wears at home and wants to take with him on holiday - which I expressly asked him not to do this week.  I'm sure he thinks I'll be doing washing right up to the morning we go away.  As it happens, I do have 2 more loads of washing to do, tomorrow and Tuesday, but that will be it for this week.  He's got plenty of old clothes he could have worn.

I didn't sleep at all well last night so might have a nap this afternoon, I was going to pack toiletries and the dog's bag but that can wait till tomorrow.  I've got physio tomorrow morning.  I've done this week's menu plan and a small shopping list for holiday things, we'll do that on Thursday morning, we're just taking food for Friday and Saturday as I want to just relax for the first couple of days.

Thurs afternoon we've got the lady from the Alzheimer's Society coming, I don't know what they can do but no doubt we'll find out.

Blogger's still not showing updated blogs on the reading list, I wonder whether they're closing it down?  I hope they tell us!
