My Diary We have man flu in the house

We were only saying the other day that we don't hear about swine flu anymore and now Ray has man flu.

He didn't sleep much again and was up before me and he has been rough all day poor thing.

The weather has been very good again and so warm with above average temperatures.

After the coldest winter is it funny how quickly it changes.

We did manage to walk around the beach like 2 old codgers together gosh how we have aged in the last year.

We went and bought all the non perishable items for the Motorhome to stock up for the summer outings and then wondered what this does to the weight allowance.

Well we have been forecasted heavy rain tonight and the weekend so the sun is not stopping with us for long.

Shame as the fog spawn is doing well in the pond and the Daffodils are out looking so happy in the breeze, it reminds me of the words of Wordsworth.

"Daffodils" (1804)

I WANDER'D lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the Milky Way,

They stretch'd in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:

A poet could not but be gay,

In such a jocund company:

I gazed -- and gazed -- but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

By William Wordsworth (1770-1850).
