Laid low!

I started to feel unwell when I went to bed last night. I got so much worse during the early hours. I was violently sick. At one point, I collapsed to my knees on the way to the toilet block and could barely stand up again. I don't ever remember feeling quite so bad.

This morning, I stayed in bed and missed breakfast entirely. I was leading a cook group today, though, and was determined not to let anyone down. By late morning, I convinced myself that I was OK to go to the supermarket to get the ingredients we needed for dinner, despite not being able to keep even a sip of water down! I was wrong! I managed to choose what we needed, but I threw up in the supermarket - not my finest hour!

Back on site, I had no choice but to go back to bed. I stayed there all day. I couldn't eat or drink anything. I slept on and off between trips to the bathroom. The rest of my cook group produced my recipe (paprika pork and pepper stew) and fed everyone. I think it went down well, but I was too ill to really care!Meer informatie
