My head ached, my chest hurt from all the coughing and, as for the runny nose, I probably used enough tissues to fell a small forest. You'd probably have preferred not to know that.
Yesterday afternoon, Harry phoned me to remind me to put some Champagne in the fridge to celebrate the end of his nine days' run of work. It had to be pink Champagne, he had some colour matching to do. I protested that I wasn't well but he said that would make it easier for him, I'd be too weak to struggle. He loves to tease.
I was ready and waiting for him when he came upstairs, with the fizz and two glasses in hand. He had me lay across his lap on the bed, my favourite position, and the fun began.
Harry couldn't cure my cold but he knew just how to lift my spirits.
I'm feeling much better today; the combination of a warm bottom, chilled Champagne and a loving man was a great pick me up. We had a sweet reconnection of a different kind this afternoon.
Harry's taking a couple of extra days off over the Easter break. Fingers crossed that he doesn't catch my cold.Rosie
Rosie,
ReplyDeleteAfternoon delight cures any cold.
Sweet post.... Hope Harry stays well.

It certainly took my mind off it for a while Meredith. Harry has no symptoms yet so we're hoping he'll stay fit. We're planning a drawbridge day or two.
DeleteRosie
Even if he didn't cure you, he gave you some nice 'I don't care' for a while. Sounds like a good treatment, maybe I'll try it for my next cold.
ReplyDeleteIt worked well for me, give it a try. I hope next week won't be too stressful for you, hang in there.
DeleteRosie
Happy Harry's attention made you feel a bit better, Rosie. Sending lots of healing energy for you and positive thoughts that Harry does not catch what you've had.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings...Cat
Thanks for the healing energy and positive thoughts, Cat. We're cautiously optimistic Harry won't come down with it but I'm still crossing my fingers.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well but nice that Harry has some extra time off coming up. More time to enjoy that pink Champagne, and each other!
ReplyDeleteGet well.
Thanks, Laurel. We're looking forward to the Easter break and more pink Champagne definitely features in our plans.
DeleteRosie
Very happy for you both! That sounds like a lovely end to a difficult week....
ReplyDeleteHoping you feel better quickly!
Sending warm thoughts
Melanie, thanks for stopping by, your warm thoughts are much appreciated.
DeleteRosie
Get well soon. seems that Harry as a good cure in hand.
ReplyDeleteHi DF,
DeleteHarry's ministrations made me feel a lot better, perhaps he should patent his cure. On one of my worst days, I took to my bed for the afternoon and read The Stolen Bride. I think readers should be advised to keep a fan handy, those sexy scenes are HOT!
Rosie
Maybe Harry has found a way to make the common cold's duration shorter than the required 2 weeks! Happy to hear he is back....and that spanking and loving has not been deterred.

I'm feeling a lot better now, Abby, but I wouldn't turn down another dose of the cure - the weekend's not over yet.
DeleteRosie
Rosie, I love Harry's answer to the common cold! Sounds way better than Nyquil. Love afternoons myself.
ReplyDeleteHugs Across the Pond,

Hi Ella, pink Champagne and a firm hand made me feel better than anything from a pharmacy could. It's my belief that afternoons are one of the compensations for having an empty nest ;)
DeleteWaving from this side of the Pond,
Rosie
I hope he doesn't either. I've recently shared mine with Ray. So glad he didn't listen to your lament about not feeling well - as you sound that way too.
ReplyDeleteA rotten cold's not something you want to share with your beloved; I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. I was definitely a willing partner in the colour matching event, Harry reads me well - sometimes too well!
DeleteRosie
Hi Rosie, we loved Harry's answer! I hope you are getting better. here's hoping Harry doesn't catch it for the Easter fun and games.

See comment below, must have sneezed and jogged the cursor!

Hi Jan, I'm much better today, thanks. We're hoping Harry will remain fit for Easter, we still have some catching up to do. I hope you're getting better too, I know it's frustrating for you to have to take things slowly.

Hi Rosie, Love Harrys miracle cure for the cold. Hope you have plenty of Champagne on ice for your Easter break and Harry stays well. Have fun! Sending positive healing vibes your way.
ReplyDeleteHugs Lindy
Thanks for your positive vibes, Lindy. We bought two cases of the Champagne so there's no danger of running out just yet.

Rosie:
ReplyDeleteI am just now r-connecting or connecting with new bloggers since I went silent in 2015. I found you here and enjoyed your post. Hope your starting to feel much better and I will keep my fingers crossed that Harry stays well so you can have a wonderful Easter. Despite being sick, Champagne and time over Harry's lap can certainly make you forget about your cold for a little while any way. Now maybe your red bottom matches your red nose!!
