Poor Syl been rough for ages now. Hope you are getting better my friend x

I have been away for a few days Mags, a belated birthday trip, only to Wales, but it was good to get a break after the year I have had.

I am feeling better thanks, though I have never had a cold that has lasted this long...it's now at the stage where my head feels like it's stuffed with cotton wool, but i don't feel ill, so that's a bonus.

I know Digger has had norovirus,  which is horrible, so let's hope she recovers quickly. x

 hiGood to see you had a great time, Syl, and good to know you’re gradually feeling better. Hope it all clears up before Christmas!

BIB… Wow - Norovirus is no joke! Wishing you fully well again ASAP, Diggs foru

It’s been a bit of a weird winter so far over here too. I know 2 people who, despite getting their flu shots, ended up being rushed to hospital - with flu 🤷🏻‍♀️ And I’ve had a cold that‘s refusing to move the hell on. Not a bad cold, just an annoyingly lingering one.

There definitely seems to be some weird bugs floating around this winter…

 Hi Vam, good to see back.

I agree with you that these damn colds linger a lot longer than they used to, either that or we are catching one after the other.

Apparently this so called super flu that's doing the rounds, is resistant to the flu vacine...so that's why the protection isn't working very well.

Fingers crossed we can all avoid it. x

I hope you are all well and just busy now before Christmas. 

 It is a bit Marie Celestish since I got back.

I hope everyone is well....just busy.

 Busy time of year.  I'm up to my eyes in trying to catch up and I'm making 24 carat gold leaf artwork for my friends.   God knows why I decided to do that and not just buy something is beyond me.

It looks similar to this.

(that avi! ❤️😂)

That artwork is lovely! And you’ve just given me a great suggestion for a last minute gift I still need to buy for someone, so thanks for that 😉

Wish you were making it for me, though!

 Just to provide balance, and perhaps a bit of reassurance...

"This year’s flu season also started a month earlier, while a drifted influenza A(H3N2) strain – also known as subclade K – is currently dominating cases in England, according to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).

Does the flu jab work against the H3N2 strain?

Data from UKHSA shows this year’s vaccine is providing good protection against this strain."

 Good to know, thanks! 😊

Hopefully, there’ll be few anomalies to that (like my 2 friends who were hospitalised with severe breathing difficulties).

 Well I've had it and I didn't have jabs.  I thought I had norovirus, but it was the superflu.

Someone I know has just come down with something. I know at the end of the day if you're sick you're sick irrespective of what it's called, but in your case how did you know which it was?

 Norovirus gives you vomiting and diarrhea and usually resolves in a few days.   I only threw up twice and didn't get an upset tum.  Flu can make you vomit but it doesn't give you diarrhea.  And it makes you ill for much longer.  What it does give you very often is a chest infection and I got a really bad one.   Norovirus is a gastrointestinal virus that doesn't affect the respiratory system...unlike flu.   I initially thought I had norovirus because I was sick.   But my symptoms were more like flu and the doctor confirmed that.  It's been over two weeks and I'm still not fully recovered.

 Regular exercise is a key component in maintaining a strong immune system and preventing illnesses like the flu. It helps to strengthen the body's defenses and can reduce the number of colds and flu infections. Here are some ways fitness can contribute to flu prevention:

 I walk for nearly an hour every day with my dog.   I do weights for my upper body and yoga.  Viruses go around and shit happens.

 They do. And what your doing is helping you battle them..

 

But it's important to acknowledge that there are things you can do to mitigate the risks..
