I am still upright.
I felt like crap over the weekend and have only really started feeling more human the last two days. I haven't gone into work and feel guilty about that after being off 3 weeks for holidays and compassionate leave. But i really wouldn't have made it in and stayed upright. Today is the first day i've been feeling a bit more energy and my ears are actually unblocked. Looks good for getting back to work on Monday and back into a routine. Might even try to get out a bit on the weekend. I did walk over to the corner shop yesterday and i might do again today as i see my bread is getting low. Still coughing but am managing to get more sleep. That is, i'll sleep 2 or 3 hours at a time instead of waking every hour.

I've spent the days just sitting here, watching tv and typing up my travelogue, updating various travel tip websites that i contribute to. My photos have been delivered to Best Buy so i might try to get a lift over there on the weekend and get them and get a couple of photo albums to sort them into. As always, i take so many photos and even just printing some of them to get a good feel for a trip ends up still being a lot. So photos:

For the full Denmark experience, in slideshow format, this is where you want to go but be warned, there's a lot.
Photos from our visit to Trentham including the Monkey forest and our run up to the Lake District in slideshow format are here.
Coronation Street fans, Our tour of shooting locations and visit to the set and the subsequent party with a couple of special guests is in this Slideshow album.

Now, for most of you that don't want to slog through all that, there's a Flickr "Highlights" set here. A little of everything including a couple of video clips from Copenhagen.

If you're on Facebook you might have seen photos there already too so i won't link to those.

The travelogue still needs to be fit into a template and the one i had set up seems to be at my pc at work so i won't put that online until next week. I want to go through it and edit it anyway. We had a lovely trip as always, spending lots of time together, visiting Copenhagen and meeting up with local people there that [livejournal.com profile] gramie_dee knows there via his internet connections. We again had a nice drive up through the Lake District and stopped at Grasmere and the Castlerigg Stone Circle. We saw a live production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and had a great weekend hanging out and doing Coronation Street related things including another great visit to the set at Granada Studios. We also went to Trentham near Stoke to see some gardens and some monkeys! The Monkey Forest was way cool!

Then i got delayed by the volcanic ash cloud and got home two days later and then found out my uncle had died. Two more days off for that and then the cold i came back with hit me hard and i've been off all week. It always comes in threes doesn't it! Hopefully it'll be a smooth ride forward from here.
