Sorry I haven’t been around in the blogosphere for the last week, but I have not been well, I have been pretty sick with a very nasty cold, and am only now starting to feel a bit better. I’m sorry I haven’t been to anyone’s blog, I haven’t been on the computer much at all, I played a few card games yesterday, I like playing hearts, spades, and solitaire every now and then, I usually just play with the computer as a partner.
I’m hoping to be able to get back to reading everyone’s posts next week, and I would like to Thank everyone that have sent me e-mails wondering why I have not been around, so many wonderful people in the blogosphere that have never met me, I really was very humbled about your concern.
I apologise for not having any jokes this weekend, as soon as I finish my morning cuppa, I am going back to bed. I don’t know if I will be back on the computer today to answer any comments, so I will Thank You all in advance, and also to those that have taken the time to read this post and only had time to click onto the like button.

Take your time, and feel better Magsx2!
We’ll be here when you get back.
(You’re health is more important than the jokes)
(though the jokes are pretty funny!)
Hi El Guapo,
Thank you very much for your kind words.
Glad to see you feeling better, Magsx2
Thank You, I can tell you that I really felt my age last week, but now I feel maybe thirtyish, and next week hopefully I will feel like a 21 year old again. 😀
Take good care of yourself!
Hi thesweetkitten,
Thank you, for your concern.
So sorry you are not well. I wondered where you were but thought maybe you were taking a small summer break. I am always behind in reading everyone’s blog. So not to worry!
Hi purpleborough,
Thank you very much for your kinds words.
You bring us so much joy and information on this blog that we, in return, are happy to sit tight and let you take your good old time to get well.
Alot of people in NY are sick too, but not from a cold. Our stock market tumbled big time today! I’d rather have what YOU have. At least you know you’ll recover 🙂
PS: I’m a fan of clock solitaire myself.
Hi EOSR,
Thank you very much, I am back amongst the living again now. 😀
Yes I heard about the big crash on market, not good.
Sorry to hear you are under the weather, Mags. I hope you have a good movie to snuggle in and watch, or maybe a book to curl up with. I hope you feel better soon.
Hi Naomi,
I did watch a few movies last week when I was sick, and fell asleep through most of them. 🙂
Rest up! We will all be here when you are feeling better!
Hi susielindau,
Thank you. 🙂
Mags, Take care of yourself. Do not worry about anything else.
Hi Arindam,
Thank you very much for your concern, it is now good to be back. 🙂
I echo Arindam words..Mags, Take care of yourself. Do not worry about anything else.
Hi elcampeador,
Thank You. 🙂
I’m so glad that you’re on the mend. water, Water, WATER — force the fluids to flush the toxins.
Hi Laurie,
Oh yes I had plenty of fluids while I was sick, and Thank you very much for your concern, it is good to be back. 🙂
Hope you are feeling better soon Mags, take your time and don’t waste your energy replying to all our comments. 🙂
Hi gitwizard,
Thank You, but I am just now finally getting around to answering everyone, and it is good to be back. 🙂
Feel better. The weekend is here — you don’t want to be sick for that!
Hi Elyse,
I am finally back amongst the living again. 🙂
I’ll bring you some soup and a cup of tea.
Hi robincoyle,
Oh that would of been so nice, I certainly did have a fair bit of soup while I was sick, but unfortunately had to get it myself most of the time, as hubby was working. 🙂
Feeling better I hope?
Much better. 🙂
Yeah!
Hi Mags – your absence has certainly been noticed. You are such a wee force on WordPress.
Get better soon. That flu bug is going around, and its nasty. All the best from down here. 🙂
Hi This Sydney Life,
Thank You very much for your kind words. 🙂
Mags, Sounds like you are on the mend. We missed you and were wondering. Take care. Wally
Hi Waldo,
Thank You, I am now back among the living. 🙂
Thank you for checking in with everyone, Mags. I am sorry you were hit with a nasty cold. I’m battling something, myself. Here’s to the two of us getting well soon! Now please rest.
Hi Lenore,
Thank You very much, I hope you managed to beat off the bug. It certainly is good to be back. 🙂
Miss you; miss the jokes; However, your health is more important.
Scott
Hi Scott,
Thank You. 🙂
For illnesses like yours, I usually apply the £20 rule, as told to me by that prince of pill-rollers, Dr. Arun (‘Genghis’) Khan.
Imagine it’s pouring down outside, and you see a £20 note lying on the lawn.
If you think ‘It can stay there!’, go to bed at once, and call the doctor. If you’re prepared to go out and get it, just find a nice comfy sofa, a duvet and a mug of soup, and settle down to watch DVDs. You’ll feel better in no time!
Hope you’re better soon!
Hi travelrat,
I can tell you that 20 would of been still laying on the ground last week. 🙂
It is good to be back.
Take your time to get well first, because we’ll all still be here waiting for you. Take care :-).
Hi Windsmoke,
Thank You very much. 🙂
Glad you are feeling better. We will look forward to having the jokes next weekend!!
Hi Peter,
It is good to be back, and catching up with everone. 🙂
Just glad to have you back! Toasting you with a virtual cup of tea.
Hi thoughtsontheatre,
Thank You very much. 🙂
Oh dear Mags, I am sorry to hear this, get well soon… It is winter in there isn’t it? Kiwi is the best, everyday one of them… Thank you dear Mags, be fine, we are here and would like to hear you again. Love, nia
Hi Nia,
Yes it is Winter here, and raining as well.
Thank You for your kind words.
How are you today dear Mags, I hope you feel better. You are welcome and Thanks, love, nia
The fact that you’re on the mend, Mags, is more cheering news than any weekend humour. Take care. Cheers, Mal.
Hi Mal,
Thank You very much. 🙂
Get well fast!
Hi jmgoyder,
It felt like it took forever to get well. 😀
But it is good to be back.
Are you okay now?
100% compared to last week. 😀
I’m glad you’re getting better. Just take your time!
Hi megtraveling,
Thank you very much, it is good to be back. 🙂
I was wondering where you were, I thought you might just be taking a break, so was really sorry to hear you are sick. Take all the time you need and get better Mags – everything else can wait.
Hi barb19,
Thank You for your very kind words. 🙂
I agree with all of the above comments. Take it easy, and please don’t feel that you have to catch up with everything when you get back …
I play a silly little ball game on FB sometimes, and I used to like the Free Cell that comes with the computer..
Hi reb,
Thank you, I have now caught up with everyone I hope, and it is good to be back. 🙂
So sorry to hear you haven’t been well, Mags. You rest up this weekend and take it easy. Hugs to you xxx
Hi Selma,
Thank you very much, and indeed I did have plenty of rest. 🙂
Get well soon , missing your jokes
A good dose of Bourbon followed by a carton of beer and a few bottles of port normally works for us Aussies , if it doesn’t we are too pissed to care
Do hope you improve soon
Emu

Getting better is the most important thing! Meanwhile, here’s a headline for you from The Onion: Study Shows Mosquitoes Don’t Need to Bite Us
Hi Frank,
Thank You. Another good headline from the onion. 😀
Just a small treat to help your recovery. At least I picked a science-related one. 🙂

Hi wolke205,
Thank You very much. 🙂
Sorry you’re not feeling well Mags : ( I thought there was something wrong with my wordpress account because I stopped getting emails! haha! I think everyone has either been busy, taking a break, or like you, sick. Things have slowed down for sure.
I hope you get some needed rest and feel better soon. I’m actually going away on a mini break myself for a week. Eventually I’ll get back to a normal routine.
Hi A Gripping Life,
Thank You very much, and I’m sure you will enjoy your break. 🙂
Sorry to hear that you’ve been down for the count. But glad things are looking up. Welcome back to the blogosphere! I missed ya!

Great news … welcome back to the real world or the extension of it.
Great to have you back !!!!
Do hope you feel better soon. Hugs pip
Hi Piglet in Portugal,
Thank You, I am now feeling a lot better and it is good to be back. 🙂
I thought that you were just having a rest. I slept for 24 hours yesterday, so… The young mouse who has moved into the house with me for the Winter climbed up onto me to see if I was still alive. He very quickly found out that I was! We had previously come to an understanding that he was allowed to come into the bedroom with me but that he was to keep quiet – no gnawing my shoeboxes or scratching about while I am trying to sleep. He has been repecting his side of the bargain quite well since that first noisy night, but didn’t understand why I was still in bed yesterday. When I finally started to get up, he shot under the door super fast, just in case I sent him flying across the room again like I had when he woke me up walking on my shoulder. I don’t mind us being friends and sharing the house (I hope to Heaven that he is indeed a he and not a she) but I strongly object to any living creature thinking that he can just join me in bed. I expect to be courted first. Dinner, flowers, trips to the theatre, etc… And then I might think about it, but that doesn’t mean that he has any rights. It’s my house after all. Other people would lay traps and poison out for him. I think that he’s very lucky that he chose my home. On the other hand, he might have really been worried about me, so I suppose that I shouldn’t really complain. I would send him up to Queensland to keep you company, but you already have a hubby and possibly some other family members to do that, so I’ll just say “Get well quickly, but take all the time that you need. I, for one, shall still be here when you come back. I’m a subscriber to your blog, so you can’t get rid of me. Hope you are feeling a little better each day, Mags.” There you are!
Hi Lady Marilyn,
Seems your little friend was definitely taking advantage. 🙂
Give them an inch and they take a mile. He seems to be lying low at the moment despite the rain.
Get Better Mags
