Yesterday, an elderly neighbour... not too fit herself... gave ME a Food Parcel!
Well, Thanks for that... though I did not need it... just still feeling 'off'.  :)

Must really get the white whiskers shaved off!  :o  ;)

I'm reminded of a friend of my grandparents who cycled several miles a day to help "an old guy" of around seventy because he was "getting on a bit" and not able to do everything himself.

Their friend was over ninety!!!

I reach my three quarters century in a few days and don't consider myself an 'old guy'! 
I am reminded of my late uncle who joined up in 1939 age 40 and served throughout the N African and Italian campaigns in 3 Hussars (Crusaders and Shermans), who when 96 was told that he needed to think about a residential home but refused to on the grounds that such places were full of old people.
Perceptions are everything.

Have to agree John. Was marshalling again yesterday -looking for a bar to my medal.

Having avoided the plague for over two years now, the bloomin' thing has finally caught up with me. I started feeling as rough as hell yesterday and now have tested positive. Currently feeling like I've got a really bad case of the flu and it's getting worse. Bugger :( .

Hope you feel better soon. There's a lot of it about. It took my wife and I out for about 4 weeks overall in May/early June and my daughter in law and son have just gone down with it.

The school where my wife works had cases at about 1:15 at one point, which is way higher than the current English average. Our local hospitals have just reintroduced mask wearing, which IMHO should not have been removed for enclosed spaces. Off to bed soon to try and get a good sleep...

Same for myself and Mrs Westie in March. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Steve.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Best wishes Steve.
My daughter tested positive yesterday. Rest of us still negative at the moment.
Fingers crossed.
Hope you are okay soon

Never had any symptoms of Covid 1. Double Jabs plus Booster. THEN... 3 Bouts of what MAY have been Covid Variant in 4 Months! Knocks you out for 5-6 days. Middle 3 days... can hardly stand up... barely 'functional' at all. Immunity NOT Guaranteed! Survivable at 60 but NOT nice at all!  :(
