www.nhs.uk/staywell/ Stop the spread of flu germs. Use a tissue and wash your hands thoroughly. Don’t forget to get your flu jab.
Keep warm, stay well…..
Heat
your home to at least 18C (65F) – you might prefer your main living room to be
slightly warmer.
Keep your bedroom window closed in
winter – breathing
cold air can be bad for your health as it increases the risk of chest
infections.
Wear
several layers of light clothes – layers trap warm air better than one bulky
layer.
Thinking of a trip to the local library, visit a friend, coffee and cake in a cosy cafe, would like a companion on an organised day trip or another activity? Chat to us, Kate is on hand!
