So Cold

 This morning when I went for food my sleeve caught in the door handle on the pantry door and stopped me getting my hand out of the way in time, so now I've got a trapped finger to go with the injured wrist, bad cold and grazed fore head. I don't think my finger is going to be too painful thankfully.

I remembered this morning, when I was making my coffee, there were two thermos flasks in the picnic hamper that I looked in the other day when I wanted something to carry my belongings in. If they're any good I may even be able to make enough coffee to have a hot drink in my room throughout the day. I've rinsed them out the best I can here and they look okay on the inside so I will wash them out with some boiling water in the morning and then fill them both with coffee and see how we get on.

My cold has now developed in to a cough which is very awkward with regard to being quiet. I have to keep burying my head in the pillow. I just hope I can keep it under control when I'm downstairs in the morning. I took the bandage off my arm today for the first time. I didn't like to take it off before as I didn't really want to see it. Also I wasn't sure if I could put it back on again as well as Jim did it. I did manage okay though. I think it's on the mend as it's not hurting quite so much but both wrist and hand are still swollen. 

It's been really cold in here today. There is ice on the window panes, the fingers on my right hand and my nose have had frost bite several times I reckon. I can even see my breath. I dread to think how cold it must be outside. For this reason alone I'm going to be staying where I am for a while yet. If I end up sleeping rough I want it to be warmer than this.

I've spent most of the day in the little armchair with the sheepskin pulled over me. Thank goodness for the sheepskin! I've done some more writing. I've more or less cleared the backlog from the new year so I think tomorrow I will continue the back story about my journey here.
