Sick day!


Sorry I won't be long today in this caption as I have been attacked by a wicked virus - we call it a "gastro" which is short for Gastroenteritis - and I spent most of the day in bed with a really strong fever (among other symptoms LOL!). I'm not very original though; about 3 million people caught it in France over the past 13 weeks... Nothing serious (although it can kill I read!) but not really pleasant. I thought it was appropriate to post a photo I took some time ago of one of the former entrances of the Hopital Cochin in the 14th arrondissement. They kept it "as is", which I think is a very good idea. Now let me go back to bed ;-)

  2. Sorry to hear that Eric and I hope you'll get well very soon. I hate so much when I am sick that I can almost feel what you've been enduring today. Take care and get well as soon as you can. Oust the wicked virus!

    I'm sure you will be up and running again in a couple of days.

  8. I thoughtI must be shedding my dinosaur trappings about the internet, because at first, I thought the gastro virus had to do with the computer. What a nutter I am!
    I hope you have the kind of gastro virus that only lasts for a day. Get well soon!

  11. Get better soon there. I don't get even colds hardly ever. One thing I do though is have a little orange juice each day. Maybe it is the vitamin C.

  16. Get well soon and thanks a million for posting today. Your devotion is so appreciated.

    That's one pink surgery! And of course I had to look for your reflection - I think you posted yourself behind the wooden doorframe!

  17. Oh -- so sorry to hear that you are ill. Remember last year the big scare was the H1N1 virus? That seems so long ago now. You have to hurry and get better. You have your annual PDP picnic coming up in May and you want to be feeling your best. Take care. bisous

    BTW, it is a beautiful shot of the mosaic/tile over the door. It looks so herbal and healthy and all that.

  21. Hi everyone, thank you for your get well message. At least today I'm (barely) on my feet.

    It had really been a long time since I was sick like that... I don't think I'll be able to go out today though, so next photo will also be a stock photo!

    ReplyDelete
  22. A stock photo sounds perfect, Eric! Please go back to bed, and I join everyone in wishing you a speedy recuperation. {And today's photo is a beauty!}

  23. I love the shades of pink and the textures in this shot.
    Another stock photo is certainly in order. You must take good care of yourself and not overdo. Just feel the good vibes coming from us all around the world and stay in bed.

  29. Lance Armstrong is tweeting from France that he and 8 member team have same GASTRO. Hope it passes for all soon.

    Is there a date for the PDP Spring picnic?

  30. Eric, I'm glad you're feeling better. I'm happy to see your stock photos, they must be wonderful! I'd love to see more photos of Hopital Cochin, it looks like an interesting building--very different from the usual Paris glory, in its way.

  33. As for louis vuitton handbags
    , the designers accept their own cast value, even for their bags. agenda louis vuitton are so abiding and accept able ability for water-proof and fire-proof. That is aswell why monogram multicolor accoutrements adore top report.
