Wife's just tested positive . . . bugger!

She seems okay, just like a mild cold really, and we've both been vaccinated, so fingers crossed.

I've had two friends come down with Covid.

Both have said it was like having a bad cold and being tired.



On that basis, I may have had covid for 13 years.

My daughter and son-in-law have Long Covid. It has been life changing for them.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

A couple I know were only aware they had Covid because they had to take tests. A week at home, feeling fine, mandated by both work and the government ... Yay! Free weeks holiday.

Two people I knew died of Covid back before vaccines were available.

A relative had a mild dose of Covid, slight breathing difficulties but didn't need to go to hospital. Apparently it has damaged their lungs and they will be affected for life.

I tested positive Monday. Thought I had a head cold Sunday night, didn't feel bad, just like a cold. But I've tested positive all week. Bored. Couldn't paint, run out of undercoat spray.
I have neither the time or the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

My wife is still testing twice a week due to her work in school with kids.  Every time we get a bit of a cold there is that nagging worry as to whether it is Covid or not. So far we've been lucky...

I feel fine. Just stuck inside alone.

Well its got me!!!

Not sure if I got it from Ukranian refugees, The various Polish people who helped us, or the complete F*&^ing idiot I had to share the cab of the lorry with last week.

(Sufficient to say he managed to totally p*ss off 4 of the other 7 Drivers in 3 days to the point that, 3 of them nearly punched his lights out. He will not be considered for any further trips.)

I tested positive for Covid on Tuesday morning. So far just a sore throat, a few aches and feeling tired. So Hopefully that will be all.

I have planned to see my new granddaughter this weekend, but that will have to wait.
