How are we getting through it?

[Techno II]

Pembrokeshire is still going up and up...cases per 100,000 have, near as dammit, doubled in the last three weeks. (435 to 803)
The 'place' that's surprised me is Tewkebury.

A few days ago, it was the only 'blue' area on the map of mainland UK, which is why I noticed it.....(Blue being less than 100 cases per 100,000)....It's now over 1,000 cases per 100,000.

(That makes me think their figures were 'wrong' a short while ago, and they've just added a lot of 'lost' cases.)

With the delay in symptoms & tests, it's quite plausible to spike like that. Did they have a big public event a couple weeks back...

[Techno II]

Can't answer that, Matey. 

I CAN  say, with a little bit of confidence.......that Pembrokeshire 'missed'  a good number of cases a few weeks ago.....then added them, which made us look like we suddenly 'jumped'.

Cheers - Phil.

That happens every Monday. had booster, no noticable side effects today.

[jimduncanuk]

I woke up this morning after another poor nights sleep with an aching right shoulder.

2nd Jab maybe...booster jab....nope.....flu jab.... no nothing like that.

Painting the ceiling in the kitchen diner is the culprit.

I have arthritis.

All the traditional reasons for aches and pains are still with us. I barely notice the jab side effects.

So, I am getting through it.

Good to hear, Jimbo.

All the very best - Phil.

Good Man!  First Objective taken... so rest will be a Swan.......

Sorry to hear that Barrie at TimeCast has been hit with Covid, hopefully he's back on his feet again soon.  It's becoming a case of 'when' and not 'if' with this virus it seems.

Arthritis - do try fish oil capsules. They've helped me appreciably.

I swear by Glucosamine and Chondroitin.

I don't know what they do but they seem to work fine.

Awwww....Poor Barrie.....Here's hoping he suffers the mildest of symptoms.

What you say though, Leon.........I'm determined to do my utmost to avoid the damn thing totally.

All the best, Barrie !! - Phil.

Did a load of tests yesterday, no positives on them

[Techno II]

That's good news, Ian.

Cheers - Phil.

We abandoned "if" eighteen months ago, it's just about hoping your hit mildly now, so get jabbed soon as it comes thru and keep 'em up. Which reminds me, apparently my docs have the flu jab in so I must get that sorted this week as well

A friend's daughter tested positive two days ago. He and his wife are now isolating for ten days. Since he's an anaesthetist and she's a nurse their hospital is now short staffed.

My wife and I are debating whether to get the booster shot or not. There are still too many people who refuse to wear masks around here.

Get it - a couple days feeling a bit rough is going to be waaaaaay better than the alternative...

Hope she is doing alright and will have only mild symptoms!


I've been super occupied this year and have not really noticed anything Corona related in my neck of woods. ( People have been doing social distancing in Finland since the dawn of time as a cultural characteristics )


So we started building a house this year with my soon to be wife Alexandra ( 12th day this month ).

Been building for 6 months now and we are starting the move next week. Will be a big difference from 50m2 to 122m2. Me and my Father, a Formworker and a Carpenter built everything by ourselves except the Electricity and Plumbing, also digging was done by a neighbour.




I also managed to amputate my left hand index finger from the last joint onwards ( Pattex - No More Nails ). As soon as I finished from the surgeons table I just went back to work using my right hand only. Stressful the housebuilding business!


Now that I've even soaked the land with my blood and sweat, the old gods and the new will be pleased I'm sure.




Everyone else been doing alright?

[Techno II]

OUCH !! 

(I've only given myself a few 'nicks' with a scalpel blade.)

Fine, here, 'N'.

I'm VERY impressed with your building skills...apart from your blood sacrifice !

Very best wishes to you and your soon to be other half. ...Hope the day goes really well !

Cheers - Phil.

Wot Techno said

Just fewer nicks for me

[Steve J]

That's very, very impressive, but the blood sacrifice of part of your finger make we wince!
