My first visit to the bungalow for almost two weeks.
Quite exciting to see the painter has almost finished, the tiler has started & Harrys shed minus roof is up.
I’ve been a bit quiet over the last two weeks as Harry, our daughter Cathy & I have all had coronavirus.
I must say if Jack hadn’t been so on the ball about the lateral flow tests we would never even have guessed.
I had what seemed a minor cold. Sneezy and a slight cough at the start but none of us had a temperature. Harry had a cough & was a bit weary but that could have been his operation – not the best time to contract covid straight after a hip replacement!
Cathy had a very achy body, slight headache & a bit tired.
All of us lost our taste & smell for a few days.
Jack & Garth never caught it but of course we have all been isolating for the last two weeks.
I must admit I was scared at the start but thanks to us all having the good old vaccine all was well.
We are pretty sure we picked it up in M&S picking sofas!
Anyway back to normal now, wear your masks still... it’s pretty mild for a most people now & I think people are treating it as a cold & just going round spreading it about.
There is a lot of it about now!
Sorry I’m am very behind with 365.
Three good things:
1. Vaccines.
2. Glorious weather while we have been unable to go out.
3. I have got through a lot of books…Clare Chambers has kept me going nicely, I love her books!
Flipping heck Pat - it really is everywhere. I was a bit worried this morning as sneezy and v tired but very negative LFT luckily. Thank goodness for the vaccinations (Adam’s single dose didn’t seem to knock it on the head much though at least this time round he didn’t get the fever - he says soy sauce tastes horrible and he really can’t bear cigarette smoke which he didn’t like at the best of times!). Well you should be immune now and presumably Jack & Garth too. I’ll look up Clare - I’m on a Nicola Upson at the moment.
Looking great!!
I thought you must be very busy with Harry but now so happy to hear you’re all recovering well from your bout with Covid!!
Here in LA we’re all back to wearing masks indoors. I’m happy to comply!
I am so pleased that you weren’t seriously ill. I too thought you must have been occupied with helping Harry recuperate. Great progress on your house. Take care.
I'm still acting the same cautious way as ever. So glad you are all well on the way to being completely better. I think it's anything but a cold, well not for everybody, but can be very serious and have lasting ill-effects. Take care, all of you.
That must have been so worrying for you all. So glad your symptoms were mild and thumbs up for the vaccine. Yes we will be wearing our masks on holiday, especially me, and especially in crowded places.
So glad you all recovered so well. The vivid cases we’ve heard of recently have been mild just like you described. Glad your place is coming along so well!
Oh no, good to hear you are feeling better though. I have been missing for a few days and only just catching up. Thank goodness you have had your vaccines.
Oh, Pat, I hate hearing this. Thank God for vaccines!!! Breakthrough cases amongst the vaccinated are on the rise due to variants, but so much milder. Do not hesitate to get a booster if they are deemed beneficial after clinical trials. So glad you are going to start masking again. This virus is tenacious. I hope it runs its course quickly in your family and Harry can get back to the business of recovering from surgery. Sending good thoughts to all. Xoxo
The vaccine is working after all. We haven't had deaths from the vaccine for quite some time even though the number of infections is high again. Glad you are all ok.
@peggysirk We will do all you say Peggy but we alway wore our masks & everyone seems to be wearing them still….booster vaccine is definitely on. Harry was on Phizer but the rest of us on Astra Zeneca.
@ladymagpie Well it was done in record time Heather…..two days whereas I think a roller & brush would be so much longer….I was amazed how quickly & smoothly it went on.
