It was only recently I was writing about ice and snow during days of very cold weather that was some of the coldest recorded for over 25 years.
Then it started to warm up. Here in Beetley, we went from -11C to +4C overnight. The snow started to melt, and it continued to get warmer.
Today it was +12C, a massive difference in temperature in such a short space of time.
Is it any wonder we English talk about the weather so much?
For me, wth that sudden change came the symptoms of a heavy cold. Fuzzy head, runny nose, streaming eyes, and endless heavy sneezing. It is almost one o’clock in the morning, and I would like to go to bed. But I can’t stop my eyes watering for long enough to lie down and rest properly.
So if my fiction serial episodes don’t appear over the weekend, or I don’t reply to comments or leave any on your posts, you will know why.

That is a huge weather change. I hope you feel better soon, Pete.

Here it was the same, and its going on. Hope you are feeling better this evening. Maybe a cup of a cup of chamomile tea could work wonders. I prefer to keep my blood pressure consistently high with espresso. 😉 Best wishes, Michael

Hang in there, Pete. The weather is rough sometimes, and very unpredictable. I knew something was up this year, when the jet stream had moved higher than usual towards the north last month. Rest well.
