marooned

I spent a couple of days this week marooned by a virus - sore throat, aches, feeling shattered. So I lay in my lovely bed and interspersed sleep with reading invalid-sized portions of my book,  and looking at the view. This is what I see with my head on the pillow looking straight up

and if I sit up and turn slightly to the left - this view of the not so distant city.

 And rest, cups of tea, and gentle pats had their effect and I am feeling rather better.
