I actually think it's good to be ill sometimes as it makes you appreciate how amazing it is to not be ill! After my (minor) operation on Thursday I'm so grateful for everyones kind well wishes and the special healing powers of my extraordinary caring boyfriend who's been making me everything from supercharged green juices, to scrambled eggs and comforting chicken soup.

Other things that definitely help are beautiful things to look at, fresh flowers (of course!) and lots of magazines to read... Oh and Netflix!
