Normal service will be resumed soon - I hope!

I have so missed writing my blog and reading others these past few days, but I have been feeling SO ill that I simply could do neither.
I have laid in a darkened room, sneezing, with sad, leaking eyes and a running nose - alternately hot or shivering. And poor Ruy has it too - though he seems to be dealing with better than me.
I'm exhausted now - (hand to brow for dramatic effect) I will return. Weak, brave smile.
