Go away, norovirus!

Our fave guests departed this morning, alas, the unwanted one remains.

Me to Mr B: Darling, how are you feeling?

Mr B: Kind of fluey.

Me: That's the first sign! Do you want me to make you a nest in the living room so you are close to the loo?

Mr B: No, I think I will be fine.

Rapid feet pass through the living room, where I have a nest on the sofa

Plaintive Mr B from loo: Darling, do you have a bucket?

I am making him his own nest now.

*cuddles* *pets* You need to hydrate! Crackers & oven-dried bread also help survive the unpleasantness. *hugs*

Treacle had left some corn crackers, which stayed down last night, signalling the start of my recovery, I feel! I have been continuing to drink water and diluted sports drink on the basis that some was probably absorbed before the rest, er, wasn't.

*Refuses to let you cuddle me until tomorrow when it should be safe, because I like you!*

It is always tomorrow in Australia! *cuddles*

Sprinkle some salt on the crackers, they'll stay down better (as will liquid). :)

I had diluted sports drink, which is disgusting at best, but which seems to have done the trick!
